can anyone recommend any good historical fiction revolving around pirates. I am almost done with Kingston by Starlight (the story of Ann Bonn and Calico Jack Rackman) and I'm need need more pirates. (I've always had a thing for them)

Here are some off the top of my head:

The Wild Irish: A Novel of Elizabeth I and the Pirate O'Malley

Grania: She King of the Irish Seas

Bloody Jack and its sequels are a young-adult series about a girl who joins a pirate crew dressed as a boy.

Pirates is another young-adult novel about a merchant's daughter and slave who become pirates.

It looks as though I have a thing for girl pirates!

Seawitch by Helen Hollick

I haven't read this one yet, but I will eventually. I loved Hollick's other books, so I'm sure this one will be good too.

Thanks Valli and Felicia I just put all the books on my wishlist except for The Wild Irish: A Novel of Elizabeth I and the Pirate O'Malley which I have here to read.

Yes, I am a book pusher! Bwah, hah, hah, hah ...

Anne, do you have any room LEFT on your wish list? Tee hee!

Not much lol and you should see my Apartment lol.And some of them are books I got from you:)

thanks for the suggestions

I love just about any kind of historical sea adventure stories. Do you know how to browse the listed books for sea adventures?

Go to Search -> All books-> Browse by genre->Literature & Fiction-> Genre Fiction-> Click Go, and then choose sea adventures from the drop down menu.

thanks Valli. I found some when I did a search of pyrates

An oldie but very goodie: The Black Swan by Day Taylor (not the Phillipa Carr one)

Cheers,Margaret

This book isn't so much about pirates but life on the sea.  It's called "Ahab's Wife".  I'm a third of the way through and it's pretty good.

"Treasure Island" is a classic that shouldn't be missed.

Captain Blood by raphael Sabatini is a great book! :)
