You can start and finish this challenge whenever you like!
Welcome to Jane-Austen-does-Napoleonic-naval-warfare! Consider the start date whenever they caught your fancy; I intend to circumnavigate indefinitely (with regular screenings of the 2003 film). Adding bonus books as I discover them, with the exception of Horatio Hornblower and such that deserve their own challenges.
