Caught up on the translation of To Embers We Return and now I'm taking a break from cnovels and readingPost Captain (Aubrey/Maturin 2)

[duckprintspress]

not a c-novel comment but... this is your first time reading Aubrey/Maturin right? Are you enjoying? I'm rather fond of them, though I've never read them all.

Yeah, I made it a few chapters into book 1 as a teen but it didn't really work for me back then. My mom's a huge fan of the series and I think it took a bit of distance + seeing my own peers enjoy them to remove them from the category of "mom books," lol.

I'm lol because mine is similar - I read them as a teen because my mom, grandfather, and uncle all got massively into them - except for me it was like, "these are ADULT and COMPLICATED I must PROVE I am as good as the adults in my life by reading them too!" Disclaimer: I didn't have to prove literally anything I was just that kind of teenager lmao.

Never heard of Post Captain, and now you got me to look it up!

Oh, have you got a saga ahead of you -- a great one. "Sir, you have debauched my sloth!" Enjoy!
