What Could Possibly Go Wrong? | 
#BookReport
Managed to finish two books this week. One was my commute audiobook and the other was an impulse read.
#WeeklyForecast
I'm still struggling with my physical book and the book club book for work so I'm going to have to use the holiday weekend to push through on those. I also need to find another commute audiobook to commit to.
pickLoads of fun with the crew of St. Mary's. I think the OTTness is what makes me love these so much. Definitely not stand alone though. It's been a while since I've read the earlier ones so I had to find summaries to refresh my memory.
pick4.75/5 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌖
I love this series. I just wish for more Leon and Max scenes.

pickCandidly, I‘ve lost the ability to properly review these books. It‘s my favorite audiobook series; I‘m always so happy to be immersed in Max‘s world.
If pressed, criticisms include:
•This installment‘s a bit meandering.
•There‘s one problematic sentence, though I forget the content now. I don‘t think it was particularly egregious - just not especially *aware.*
•I‘m unsure about the last words, which (paraphrasing) once spoken can‘t be unspoken.
pickNot sure if I reviewed this when I first read it. I'm on my third re-read right now. My brain needs something soothing and St Mary's does that for me.
@TrishB - since Richard III makes an appearance in this one, I'm wishing we had talked some more about the R in the car park. You probably know way more about Richard than I do. Can you remember the title of the time travelling book you mentioned?
Cleaned out the fridge this morning. #Audiomade some sort of Ratatouille, use up the sourdough-flatbread dough and cut up some fruit. Guess that's at least 7 of my 5-a-day.

Thanks for the tag @LazyOwl Sorry I'm a day late.
1. What Could Possibly Go Wrong? I love the Chronicle of St. Mary's series.
2. Outdoor as often as the weather allows. I have a small park about a block away.
3. I do #BookSpin and try to keep up with #PoetryMatters. I'm also working on #Booked2021

pickWhat could go wrong? With the crew from St.Mary's - everything. Simple training jumps turn into chaos. I love this series about time-traveling historians. This was my last book for January. No #bookspinbingo this time.

12-26-20: My 112th finished book of 2020! Book 6 in the series. Max and her historian trainees visit Joan of Arc, Stone Age hunters and wooly mammoths, the Father of History and much more as they travel through time documenting and trying not to change things. As usual, it‘s a wild ride. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #whatcouldpossiblygowrong #joditaylor 👍🏼📖#️⃣1️⃣1️⃣2️⃣
pickThis time around Max has a new challenge...training up new historian recruits. And this novel definitely puts them through their paces. They witness Joan of Arc's death by fire, face off against saber tooth tigers, accidentally steal a baby mammoth, beat up Herodotus (the Father of Historians), and find that their greatest threat comes from within. Oh and they might have had a little hand in that whole Richard III being found in a car park thing.
pickOh Max, always trust your gut. And that if Ellis too!
pickGreat fun with St. Mary‘s, as always. This series is a delight—hilarious banter, time travel hijinks (sorry—hijinks while investigating events in contemporary time), and ongoing storylines with characters I thoroughly enjoy. And in this one, I particularly enjoyed the baby mammoth.🐘😍
An hour left of "What Could Possibly Go Wrong" by Jodi Taylor and about 50 pages left of "Some Girls Bite" by Chloe Neill - it's gonna be a good night ??
‘Actually,‘ said Hoyle, ‘can I have coffee? I don‘t like tea.‘ The world stopped spinning on its axis. Ten people eyed him with expressions ranging from condemnation to compassion via outright bewilderment. ‘Was it when you were in America?‘ asked Roberts, sympathetically. ‘Did they make you drink coffee there?‘
We don‘t usually jump less than one hundred years into the past. The official reason is that that way your younger selves, parents, and grandparents are all safely avoided. As I say, that‘s the official line. The unofficial reason is that Dr Bairstow won‘t let us go back to tease Stephen Hawking.
pickAnother delightful adventure w/ Max & Co.

Surprise twist towards the end.
pickYet another good one in the “Chronicles of St. Mary‘s” with a heck of a cliffhanger. As usual, I bought the audiobook even though I could get the digital version on Hoopla, this is just so much better with narration! This episode features deceit and more deceit and loads of cups of tea. #booked2018 #beachread
1 hanging out by water, sea, lake or boating pond makes me happy. It soothes the soul! 2 I think hanging out with the St marys folks would be fun if not high risk! 3. We host a summer bbq and a Christmas open house every year for our friends 4. Before getting sick it would have been red wine now I am pretty much on water with a glass of fruit juice a day. 5. Role on end of treatment! 5.I hate drizzle so I guess the snow? #humpdaypost @MinDea
My #firstread of 2018! This year, I want to a)finish more series, b)read more translated works, and c) be more of a mood reader! Also the title is totally how I feel about 2018 😅
pickAnd there it is...book 100 for the year.
I'm so happy I found this series as I do believe there is a dearth of quirky reads in the world. If you're looking for something light and off-kilter in your reading life I'd recommend this with the strength of a 1000 woolly mammoths.
And with this as the end of the character list, I now begin book six of The Chronicles of St. Mary's.
What idiot starts reading a new book just before bed? Me. Genius.
pickHow apropos that I finish this title before meeting the in laws. I love this series and still think it would be a great tv show. Bummer for me that my library doesn't have the next book, despite my request.
Merry Christmas to all and all a good morning.
About Joan of Arc, but this resonated with me.
"To look away when something terrible is happening does not mean that the terrible thing ceases to happen."
Four night shifts down, one to go and I'm rewarding myself with an adventure with Max and the St Mary's gang.
Really need the change of pace, and what could be more fun than time travel? #funread #thelighterside #stmarys
pickSuch a lot of fun! Love these St Mary's books. I'm both excited to start the next one and hesitant since there's only 1 1/2 books published still! (Chico was less impressed then I was - mostly bc I had to disturb him to get up for coffee when I was done.)
Look at these two goobers! I've already had breakfast, washed some dishes, and have dinner in the crockpot, so I'm taking a reading break on the couch with my two kids. I love them so freaking much!

pickThe best St. Mary's book yet! These are just so much fun—highly recommended! I've already got the seventh novel in my audiobook library, but since the eighth isn't out yet I'm going to try to hold off for a little while. (That'll be hard though—I only finished this one today, and I'm already desperate to start the next!)
pickMax in charge of 5 trainees - everything will go wrong - it's St. Mary's! From wooly mammoths to the Father of History to exploding pigs, chaos, mayhem, and hilarity reign. This is probably my favorite in the series so far.
