BW28: Y is for Yacht


 

Happy Sunday!  I'm always fascinated by stories that take place on a body of water, or a sailboat, a yacht, a cruise ship.  Which is how I ended up reading Rebecca Yarros Renegade trilogy about students at sea 9th month voyage filled with college aged characters and a whole boat load of angst. It's sort of amusing as I remember the trials and tribulations of my college years. 

Sail away with these 17 books set on a boat   I have The Narrow Boat Summer as well as Into the Drowning Deep, the Migrations, and The Terror in my stacks which will keep me busy for a while. 

Top-5 books set in boats  The Life of Pi and The Little Paris Bookshop were exceptionally good which is why I added The Book Binder of Jericho to my stacks. 

Sailing Into Suspense: 10 Irresistible Yacht-Set Thrillers.  I have Ruth Ware's The Woman in Cabin 10 in my stacks currently and have read Death on the Nile so look forward to explore this list. 

Happy Sailing!
