Welcome to Litsy!

This is an excellent story about how St Mary‘s came about and how the “cast” joined it, with enough vagueness to set up future plots. The author narrated it herself and I thought it was perfect. @julesG I agree that this should be read after reading the second or third book, once you know the characters better. Officially it should be read after the first book. Such an extraordinarily fun series. #serieslove2023

I should have listened to this short story after I finished book 1 in the series. Now I‘m in book 3, but I‘m going to go ahead and listen to it slightly out of order. #serieslove2023 @TheSpineView @Andrew65

Still trying to play catch up from the books I read earlier this year. I am in love with this series. This is a very short prequel but a good one. I bought more of the series on audible for super cheap on Prime Day! Can‘t wait for more! #seriesread #booked2021 #under150pages

I love this series and her annual Christmas short stories are amazing

Nice to see how it all played out!

Time to start a new series 😁

This short story about the setting up of St. Mary‘s and the assembly of the original staff for the time traveling, er, historical research team at the old priory is labeled as a prequel to the Chronicles of St. Mary‘s, but I wouldn‘t start here. Read ‘Just One Damned Thing After Another‘ (first-in-series) and then come back to this one in print: Lots of delicious “Aha!” moments.

Historical event featured: Part of the Battle at Waterloo

O the Joy of discovering a new series!📚 Fun Time Travel and Tea with a side bit of serious commentary on historical events. Bought Book 1 because of name - Just One Damn Thing After Another. How could I resist? 🤓 Was glad I read this short story Prequel afterwards. Ending was such an aha moment to the first. 💡#timeywhimey #chronicalsofstmarys #latetotheparty

A fun, short prequel to the series, narrated by the author and written from Dr. Bairstow's perspective! (Can you tell I'm hooked?!? Going to download the third book now! I've had some killer headaches this week, PLUS there's been noisy construction happening in my basement, so audiobooks have been a lifesaver. 🙌)

This short audiobook (2.5 hours) gives some backstory on the series. Based on this, I will give the series a try. Kudos as well to the author as the narrator for this audiobook.

On the road back to New England today, so starting a new audiobook (I can't read in the car without risk of being seriously ill). I've heard good things about this series and found this free short story on Audible a little while ago.

LOVED THIS!! I am so excited that is an established series and that there are many more full length novels and short stories to read!! Based on this first, short installment this should prove to be a fabulously entertaining series!

...and now a Dr. Who reference! 🤓🎉👏🏼

Thought I'd read the short story prequel before diving into Book 1. 15 seconds in and Jodi Taylor has won my heart by ranking the invention of chocolate right up there with the discovery of fire and the development of the wheel. Clearly this author has got her priorities straight!
