Argumentation of Historians: The Chronicles of St. Mary's Book Nine | 
pickThe crew at St Mary's is determined to trap their enemy Clive Ronan and use a trip to Persepolis as a decoy. Of course, their plan goes wrong and Max gets kidnapped and sent back to St Mary's in 1399. Another great installment in the series. My May #BookSpin book. @TheAromaofBooks
pickI do so love this series! This book was quite a bit lighter than the last one, but still... some very poignant scenes even in the midst of the wit and humor—and madcap rushing to and fro through history—that I love so much about this series. And the ending—! Did not see that coming, and dangit, now I need the next book right away! This is my #DoubleSpin for June.
“...I have always endeavored to employ the best and brightest people in their fields. I am not sure which particular field you occupy, Mr. Halcombe, but I think it is very apparent to everyone that, whichever it is, you are very far from being the best and brightest in it.”
😂🤣
5-10-21: My 46th finished book of 2021! Book 9 of the series. This time Max and her cronies are off to Persepolis to see Alexander the Great when something goes awry and Max finds herself stranded in 1399 at the original St. Mary‘s. As usual, there is time travel, tea, Time Police and lots of craziness always centered around Max. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 👍🏼📖#️⃣4️⃣6️⃣ #anargumentationofhistorians #joditaylor
pickMy 100th book for the year! This time the crew of St. Mary's pops back to Tudor England, checks out Alexander the Great at Persepolis, and Max gets herself stranded (through no fault of her own) in medieval England for a year!
.
To say things went wonky for the team is an understatement as their attempt to capture the dastardly and wiley Clive Ronan leads to some startling revelations and a betrayal no one saw coming. Another wonderful read!
pick#audiowalk early in the morning in hopes to beat the heat... but the heat beat me.🙃
As for the book: the author gives us the mother of a cliffhanger.
pickWell, this one had me concerned for a bit! Quite sneaky really, but another goody!
This publisher—smart—has it all figured out as opposed to the publisher in my last post for Tombland, which doesn‘t even get credit for trying.
pickI'm so glad I finally set aside the horrors of book #8 and picked up this entry in the Chronicles of St. Mary's. There are interesting trips to the past, Max gets lost, Peterson and Leon get into a fight, things explode, and spies/saboteurs are discovered. This was lots of fun and a great listen during some tense and exhausting days at work.
Almost 4 hours in for #24B4Monday while at work, but that‘s going to be it for me today. #migrainessuck Hoping for some decent reading time this weekend. 🤞🏻
I love Taylor's character lists at the start of each book 😁😂

pickAnother enjoyable entry with Max and the St. Mary‘s crew. I thought the medieval life from Max‘s viewpoint interesting and amusing (since it wasn‘t me). As well as the development and evolution of Max and Leon‘s marriage. I wish there was more about matthew. And, I do think the Clive Ronan storyline has run its course. I hope it get wrapped up in the next book or 2.
All the fiction reads last month were the next book in one of the myriad of series I'm reading, with The Natural History of Dragons being the start of a new one. An Argumentation of Historians was my favorite but that entire set of books is high on my faves list. The MC from it has my dream job which doesn't exist but maybe in an alt-universe it's something I could've been. That's 133 books so far for the year.
pickThere are no words to describe how much I love this series! Time-travel, history, irreverent humor, wonderfully flawed characters, adventure, love, heartbreak, life and death situations, etc., etc., etc. If you like quirk, this is for you. I keep telling people that this book contains my dream job...now if someone would just go about making time-travel a regular thing I'd be more than happy to sign up.
“Oh and for God‘s sake make the book a bit more cheerful this time,‘ was the supplementary command, relayed by a sweating minion. ‘Your last effort traumatized so many readers we had to set up a counseling group.‘” NO KIDDING!!!!! Jodi Taylor is not for the faint of heart.
#mayinreview! I read 13 books — ranked in roughly descending order from top to bottom. I haven‘t read at all for six days, because of vacation sightseeing, but I did read 2 books on the plane! 📚✈️ #monthinreview
pickI got totally sucked into this one which is the 9th of the series. Most of the story centers around Max and her plans and historical activities in a couple different places & times.
pickA return to form. This Episode of the St Mary‘s Chronicles sees a return of st Mary‘s nemesis? And visits to ancient Persepolis, Henry VIII court and fourteenth century England. There was some great cast performances but this was very much the Max show and I enjoyed seeing more of her. It‘s not high literature but it is a lot of fun !
I know I wasn‘t supposed to buy any new books until I had read another two rom the already purchased. I do find it hard to turn down a new St Mary‘s Chronicle though so ... whoops ! 😉
pickIt's book 9 in the series, so if you're still on the fence about reading it...DO IT! As always, the St Mary's Disaster Magnets go full throttle into everything they do. Max and her Leon are, well, even more themselves than ever. Read the series in order, though, including the short stuff.
