Welcome to Litsy!

While the 7th book in the series has just as much to love as previous installments, there are some consistent problems that are starting to get to me. First, too much is crammed into one book. I‘d prefer something shorter with less going on (maybe Wayward Children-style). Secondly, & most frustratingly, Taylor seems to struggle to embrace body positivity. Bigger bodies are beautiful, too. The repeated fat-shaming is becoming hard to overlook.👇🏻

I've read enough of these and the shorter stories now to feel a sense of camaraderie with the core group of characters. This installment was full of the fun OTT antics I've come to expect from St. Mary's.

4.5/5 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌗

My final book for #20in4 readathon and #Scarathlon2021 #TeamSlaughter. I needed a break from Halloween. Once again an expedition goes awry and the time-traveling historians fight to avoid disaster. I love this series. 6 more hours for a total of 13.5 for the Halloween readathon. I didn't meet my goal of 20 hours but I had fun trying. @Andrew65 @Clwojick

1-17-21: My 7th finished book of 2021! In this 7th installment of the St. Mary‘s Chronicles, Max and the historians find themselves in more trouble than usual culminating in lots of changes for the team. Max must face the question:has she finally gone too far? Expect lots of time travel and laughs along the way. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #liesdamnedliesandhistory #joditaylor 👍🏼📖#️⃣7️⃣

In here is the usual bouncing about the timeline w/the St. Mary's crew. The coronation of George IV and subsequent humiliation of Caroline of Brunswick, getting caught up in Saxon onslaught with Arthur, Dux Bellorum, & the obtaining/stealing/returning of his sword, the downfall and redemption of St. Mary's, the obtainment of King John's "lost" treasure - & all of this with our MC Max growing larger & larger due to her pregnancy. Fun times!

Wow, that packed a lot of action into not a lot of chapters! Lovely to see where they got the name Matthew!

Two years ago, I started reading this fast, fun series about a group of historians who observe events in real time (yes, time travel!) but stopped right before this one. The prologue gave me pause but I should have had more faith in the author! It was the perfect book to tackle during my pandemic reading slump ❤️

The team from St. Mary‘s goes back to King Arthur‘s cave, King John‘s reign, and a disconcerting couple of days at Stonehenge!

Dr. Bairstow to Max, Peterson & Markham after every jump 😂
Half way through this series and I'm at the point where I think this at the start of every misadventure

For a minute there I thought we were going to have a cliffhanger. A lot happens in last few pages. Awesome ending.

A little St. Mary‘s was just what the doctor ordered.

Bad decisions, snappy dialogue and history!

❤️❤️❤️❤️

Time for another dose of the madness at St Mary‘s I think.

When your library holds come in... Out of Order! And it‘s a series. And you‘re really not sure if you have the restraint to wait for the other two books.

For the record, I‘ve read 1-4 plus some short stories. 7-8 are now waiting for me and 5-6 show no movement on the ILL system. And it‘s a long weekend. 🙃

Every. Single. Book. Is a whirlwind of awesome. Time-traveling alternative history with a misfit heroine and her merry band of quirky colleagues. If you don't know these books, start with the very first entitled Just One Damned Thing After Another and thank me later. There'll be tears and joy and peril and wonder. The characters will make you fall in love with them & want to throttle them, all within one paragraph. Just go read all the books now.

Another fun entry into the time traveling historian series. Who knew some of the british monarchy were so mocked.

#gymhair 😜 Enjoying this #audiobook! And proud of myself for making it here, even though I'm kinda wiped out from work.

🌟🌟🌟🌟 for the story
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 for Zara Ramm's narration

I adore Zara Ramm's narration.

I'm having much fun with this book today. I've been stuck in bed with a fibromyalgia flare and it's given me quite the laughs. #fibroreads #TCOSM 😄😹

The latest installment of The Chronicles of St. Mary's lives up to its predecessors. Each book in the series, which begins with Just One Damned Thing After Another, follows Max and her historian brethren as they travel through time "observing" history in real time. Taylor puts obvious research into the historical bits of the novels and the overall plotting is great. Late #recommendsday because I finished this last one this morning.

#funfridayphoto Favorite time travel books right now are these. So much fun. 😁

If you haven't read the Chronicles of St. Mary's you need to go grab the first book (read them in order!). This 7th full length installment is full of the chaotic fun we've come to expect and love, but also has edge of your seat suspense, fear, and drama, and an ending to make you laugh til you cry.

"Don't let the bastards grind you down". Excellent advice!

Bookmail from last week! Wish o could speed read them all right now!
