That is not my experience with Travel books, but fingers crossed?
I’ve liked some of the nonfiction books by David Grann and Erik Larson that get tagged Travel. I think I found one along those lines so hopefully it will be good.
And it’s about pirates so it better be good.
I hope it is! Enjoy your reading and thanks for saving me that pain ;D
