"Batavia" Peter Fitzsimons

Alright everyone, let's finally dust this one off our shelves and hopefully bring Timo back (we miss you, Timo!). I keep making eye contact with Batavia in my bookcase then quickly walking past. No more. Winter's the best time to get through a brick and the Batavia's story is incredible. Something for everyone. Adventure. Mishap. Shipwreck. Mutiny. Slavery. Prostitution. Cannibalism. Sink your teeth in, Knutters. (even if you don't finish it, you're still welcome to join us for the famous Moore and Moore cakes) Optional extra, which is looking very gorgeous indeed on the shelf of New Edition and sounds wonderful, is Time Travel for Beginners by Jaclyn Moriarty (Liane Moriarty's sister!). Many thanks for the recommendation, Kathleen. Enjoy the sunshine while it lasts and look forward to seeing you in October.
