I began this blog in the fall of 2010, thinking I would read 100 books during the 2010-2011 school year and write about each one. I reached 100 books in May, but decided to just keep on reading. You can stop back any time to hear about the newest books on my list.

#46 Lives of the Pirates
I now know much more about pirates than I ever thought possible!
This interesting non-fiction book highlights the lives of the swashbucklers and scoundrels known as pirates. You will learn the real stories of twenty famous pirates, including many women. Some of them were really bad characters who were truly criminals. Others were simply misunderstood. I was amazed to learn that many of them could read and write, and some had actually been raised as royalty.
Did you know that there are still pirates today? They make some places at sea very dangerous. Our library has a number of great books about pirates - but if you search on Destiny, our library software, you will find 40 websites about pirates! If you're interested in these unsavory people this is just the place for you to visit!
