Random Magic Tour: Pirates
You can read my review of Random Magic by Sasha Soren RIGHT HERE.
This tour for Random Magic is related to pirates - aaarrrrgh! Pirates appear in the book (to learn more, read the novel) and to honour them, I compiled a list of top 10 fictional pirates. I provided you with links, so that you may learn more about these - for such is the truth - badass and fun pirates, m'mateys.
The pirates I chose arrrrghhh:
1. Captain Jack Sparrow (The Pirates of the Carribean movies)
2. Morgan Adams (Cutthroat Island, movie)
3. Captain Hector Barbossa (The Pirates of the Carribean movies)
4. Dread Pirate Roberts (The Princess Bride by William Goldman; movie from 1987)
5. Long John Silver (Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson)
6. Captain Hook (Peter Pan by J.M Barrie; several movie adaptations)
7. Captain Nemo (20,000 Leagues under the Sea by Jules Verne)
8. Red Sonja (Marvel Comics)
9. Davy Jones (The Pirates of the Carribean movies)
10. The Master of Ballantrae (The Master of Ballantrae: A Winter's Tale by Robert Louis Stevenson)
How do you find these pirates?
On to the special bonus:
Bonus: Pirate karaoke - Horrible Histories: Blackbeard
Ahoy, hearties! It be time for a jolly round of-- well, just one song.
One’s enough, when it’s a troublesomely catchy tune like Horrible
Histories: Blackbeard.
CLICK HERE TO LISTEN TO THE SONG. (I am truly sorry, embedding doesn't work right now.)
Shown above: Your musical accompaniment and, also, Blackbeard.
Here are the song sheets for our pirate sing-a-long: Horrible Histories: Blackbeard

True, it’s more of a sing-a-long than strictly karaoke and there’s no bouncing ball, either, but you’re a pirate -- improvise!
Mi-mi-mi-mi-mi and away we go…
This pirate sing-a-long has been brought to you -- or inflicted upon you, or your unsuspecting flat mates or neighbors, depending on the context -- by the merry crew sailing along on Random Magic Tour:
Pirates!

I like Orlando Bloom as a pirate ;)
All my favorites made your list :) I'm glad Captain Nemo is there. Crazy as the man is, I love him.
I absolutely agree with your list, especially Jack Sparrow ;)
I don't think I could have come up with ten pirates but I'm glad to see the Dread Pirate Roberts on your list-love him (well, I love Westley).
I was waiting for such a list to be put up! I so agree with your list, esp with all the POC pirates on boards!:)
really red sonja? i'm gonna have to check out her pirate shenanigans.
Are there any better pirates than those in PotC? I'm glad they made the cut, although Elizabeth might feel a little slighted :(
Dread Pirate Roberts always sounded like an excellent character!
