No Time Like The Past
No Time Like The Past | Jodi Taylor
Jodi Taylors best-selling series The Chronicles of St Mary is back with a bang... St Marys has been rebuilt and its business as usual for the History department. But first, theres the little matter of a seventeenth-century ghost that only Mr Markham can see. Not to mention the minor inconvenience of being trapped in the Great Fire of London...and an unfortunately-timed comfort break at Thermopylae leaving the fate of the western world hanging in the balance. Re-join Maxs madcap journey through time in Jodi Taylors fifth inter-dimensional instalment No Time Like the Past.

I'm having a heckuva time finishing No Time Like the Past, I've just been too busy. But it is still on my #wintergames tbr. But as part of this amazing series, Jodi Taylor releases short stories on Christmas often about Christmas, many of the books highlighted in green. This year, Christmas Pie will be released on Christmas Day. So I'm adding them all to my #wintergames tbr, as I would love to relisten to them! #snowangels #serieslove2023

Emilymdxn That‘s a great tbr it‘s so varied! I‘m excited to see how you find them 13mo

“There would be a crafts tent and a small, local farmers‘ market for anyone who wanted to buy a small local farmer.”

Taylor‘s humor is priceless

Marathoning it through Scarathlon and other challenges, I‘m finally back to my tried and true #serieslove2023 @TheSpineView @Andrew65

The Chronicles of St. Mary‘s may be the coziest series I read. It‘s also the only good reason I still have Audible. Narrated by Zara Ramm, it‘s about a group of eccentric historians who visit contentious events in the past to discover the truth of them. This 5th installment covers A LOT of ground (from Renaissance Florence to the Battle of Thermopylae) & includes some hugely important, life-changing personal events for the characters, as well.

monalyisha @JamieArc Have you read these before? They‘re so fun (and often pack an emotional punch, as well — with some romance, to boot!). The first is tagged. 2y
DGRachel Zara Ramm is a treasure! 2y
monalyisha @DGRachel Have you listened to other books narrated by her you‘ve loved? I‘d gladly take a rec or two! 2y

JamieArc @monalyisha I have not, but just stacked the first one as well. They sound great! 2y
monalyisha @JamieArc Excited for you to discover! I added the book you tagged me in recently to my TBR stack, too. If I nominate anything for #CampLitsy23, it will most certainly be on my list. 2y
Lucy_Anywhere This is one of my favourite series! Her spin off series about the Time Police is also good fun 😀 2y
Sapphire I love a good series when the narrator is excellent. Which one should I start with? 2y
monalyisha @Sapphire Glad to hear it! Feel free to tag me in your review, if you remember. I‘d love to read what you think. Start with 2y
Sapphire @monalyisha thanks! Will do. 2y

I have a problem I keep binging this series and everything is starting to blur into one long adventure. I just can't help myself though because I like seeing what these crazy characters are up to next.

Investigating historical events in contemporary time is what St. Mary's is all about. Yes, you could call it time travel but they're a little tetchy about that phrase. This time the crew gets involved with 17th Century English ghosts, almost perishs in the Great Fire of London, & does their level best not to mess up the stand off between the Spartans & the Persians at the Battle of Thermopylae. Just another day in the life of Max & her colleagues.

Another enjoyable set of misadventures from the folks at St. Marys. I have discovered an issue with this series though. It's not a bad thing, but somethings I feel these work better as short stories than full novels. The first 2 chapters for this one could've been its own wee story.
Still loved though 😊

I love this series! I got sidetracked from it for awhile but now I'm back with the Gang of St Mary's who
"investigate major historical events in contemporary time. For God‘s sake – do not call it time travel." Joy of being late to the party is having plenty to binge on. ?

DGRachel I love this series. :) 6y
Crinoline_Laphroaig @DGRachel Its so fun. I've been wanting to get back to it. I'm doing Audiobooks so I'm listening while working. 6y
DGRachel Zara Ramm does a fantastic job narrating! 6y

Another fun romp through history with Max and the St. Mary‘s gang! From Victorian England to the Great Fire of London to Ancient Greece—this series is always madcap and all over the place, and I love it.

Instructions for historians on how to comport themselves at the 1851 Crystal Palace Exhibition:

“Offer your arm to your partner. Steer her around obstacles & muddy ground, because, of course, she won‘t be able to do that for herself. Victorian society genuinely feels that never having to open a door in your life more than compensates for not having your own job, your own money, or any sort of control over your own life, so remember that.”

Look who felt strong enough to join me in the #11thHourReadathon? 😍 I should be reading to complete my challenges but the last few days have been overwhelming so I‘m just going to read whatever I want. Or I could just stare at my cat all night long. #catsoflitsy

The thing that draws me to this series is the lighting speed of the plot. Each book is not just one adventure but five. Once again, I just adore Zara Ramm's narration, it makes the story cone to life.

DGRachel Zara Ramm is perfect! 7y
