Just One Damned Thing After Another | Jodi Taylor

#TimeTravelTop5 @Centique @Ruthiella

I really like time travel stories. I've read a lot. Here are only a few of my favourites.

Top picture is The Chronicles of St Mary's series and its spin-off series featuring the Time Police

Ruthiella I kept seeing The Night Watch in online Time Travel Novel lists. I‘m reading the Discworld books now in order, after cherry picking but have almost 30 books to go before I get there! 😅 (edited) 6d

julesG @Ruthiella I keep forgetting that it's a time travel novel 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣 6d

IriDas This is how you lose the time war is in my permanent top five books list. 🥰 🫶 💓 6d

Centique I loved This is how you lose the Time War too! I am going to definitely pick up DODO and Just One Damned Thing. Have you read Connie Willis? Just One Damned Thing sounds a little like her historian series which starts with

The Doomsday Book

julesG @Centique I DNF'd Doomsday Book. Mainly for the historical/linguistic inaccuracies within the first few chapters of the time travel. I have a background in medieval history and linguistics. With my basic knowledge of the language(s) spoken in England at the time, plus the MCs training, the premise of a language barrier didn't make sense to me. And I've DNF'd books for smaller things. Petty, I know. But there are lots of other books waiting for me. 5d

julesG @Centique Just One Damned Thing is 99c on Kindle at the moment. 5d

Just One Damned Thing After Another | Jodi Taylor

So... This was actually a really fun exercise 😈
Some months had few misses, and there's a mix here of bails/not for me rn vs things I legit think aren't great.
Tagged I am celebrating because it is the first in a series that I think i will likely continue anyway 🤪🎉 - I think books after this one won't have the things that bugged me, mainly the way the male MC treats the female, and the whole cw portion mid book is one of my trigger topics.

fredthemoose Wait—this is a WORST books of the year bracket?? I had a very mediocre reading year and this sounds amazing. 5mo

Larkken @fredthemoose I know! It‘s odd how sometimes mood can have a huge effect on how something hits, and I did read about 160 so there‘s bound to be some that don‘t do as much for me as others 😘 5mo

Lies, Damned Lies, and History | Jodi Taylor

pick

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.👇🏻

monalyisha 1/1: Still, the cast of characters is one of my favorite groups of *any* series. I can‘t bring myself to give any of these novels a so-so rating…especially not one that features King Arthur‘s sword, Stonehenge, and The Wild Hunt. A lot hinges on Book 8. 11mo

julesG I didn't have the impression it's fat-shaming. In most cases Max talks about herself, or repeats that the medical section thinks she should lose some weight for health reasons (bum knee, ankles,...). 11mo

monalyisha @julesG There‘s also the whole first bit about Caroline of Brunswick. 11mo

julesG Oh. Yes. I had forgotten about that part. You're right. That could have been done better. Especially from the POV of future historians. The contemporaries are allowed to be unkind, they don't know better. (I hope you understand what I mean) 11mo
