Seafaring Challenge

I Heart Paperbacks is hosting a challenge, the Seafaring Challenge. The challenge officially starts November 1, 2007 and runs through January 31rst. The basic criteria for a challenge book is simply this: it must feature something nautical. See the site for official rules and suggestions. The site to post links to reviews is here.

My goal is to reach the fourth rank--admiral--by reading four books.

Here are my choices:

The Redemption by M.L. Tyndall
The Reliance by M.L. Tyndall
The Restitution by M.L. Tyndall
Swiss Family Robins by Johann Wyss

Alternates:

20,000 Leagues Under the Sea by Jules Verne
Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe
The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle by Avi
Voyage of the Dawn Treader by C.S. Lewis
68 Knots by Michael Robert Evans
Girl at Sea by Maureen Johnson
