Black Flags, Blue Waters: The Epic History of America's Most Notorious Pirates by Eric Jay Dolin
Did not finish book. Stopped at 42%.

I very rarely dnf books but after powering through to around the 40% mark, I finally threw in the towel. There were some interesting chapters here and there but it's written in such a dry and factual manner that it became a real slog to get through, and I have too many books on my wtr list to force myself to continue any longer. 😂
