@shipwreckspod.bsky.social These are the two books that came in for me the other day, just started the bio on ASJ, really good so far.

@naomijwilliams.bsky.social Hello my friend, hope all is well with you, glad to see your over on this site!

Got some new Snoopy swag over the weekend!

@ww2historygal.bsky.social Found two more of these die cast for my collection, not sure how many different styles there are but I have 5 so far!

After the engine cut out, a Dauntless returning to USS Yorktown flew erratically until the pilot was able to restart it. He called to his gunner: "I bet 50% of the people down there thought we were going to crash." The gunner answered: "50% of the people up here thought so too." #SeaStorySaturday

@swordsjew.bsky.social Looking forward to this one being released next month.

@jessicaiswriting.bsky.social I see you mentioned Moby Dick is your favorite book, mine as well, first read it at sea in the Navy. Are you a fan of any other Melville works, I particularly like Billy Budd and his verse.

@eleanorfranzen.bsky.social Hey, glad to see your here, missed your book postings, hope all is well. I was wondering if you had heard of this book/author, this one is a retelling of Moby Dick and comes out next month.
