The Aubreyad, which it's the Aubrey-Maturin series by Patrick O'Brian!
Hosted by maneatingbadger
5 participants, 21 books
You can start and finish this challenge whenever you like!
Welcome to Jane-Austen-does-Napoleonic-naval-warfare! Consider the start date whenever they caught your fancy; I intend to circumnavigate indefinitely (with regular screenings of the 2003 film). Adding bonus books as I discover them, with the exception of Horatio Hornblower and such that deserve their own challenges.
