Have decided on this book next! I wanted something different, and this one's been on my TBR for many years, so I might as well give it a try.

#apparently its the first book in a 13 book series which sounds Intimidating #but I'm trying to remember that reading and liking one book does not mean im contractually obligated to read the whole series #in a timely fashion at least #currently reading #just one damn thing after another #jodi taylor

I've been listening to the St. Mary's Chronicles series and really enjoying it. The narrator (Zara Ramm) is great, and her pacing helps the story along. It's very irreverent, with a nice easy humour. The history parts are always fascinating, both the ones based on truth and on conjecture. Definitely recommend.

Be aware though, these are also adult books dealing with adult themes. These are not YA novels by any stretch of the imagination. Be prepared for things to happen and be discussed that are not easy. Having said that, Max the anti-heroine is wonderfully morally grey and I love it. There are LOADS of books in the series, including some stand alone short stories and novellas.

I'm looking forward to making my way through them all, in time.

Day 6!

Here is the sixth of thirty Better Than a Poke in the Eye recommended gifts for the book lover in your life even if that book lover is YOU!

Day 6’s recommendation is Just One Damned Thing After Another by Jodi Taylor 

Jodi is a huge Terry Pratchett fan and first came to our attention as a guest at a Discworld Convention.

As a result, her books worked their way onto our shelves and now we recommend them to you!  Just One Damned Thing is book one in the hugely successful Chronicles of St Mary’s series. 

If the whole of History lay before you, where would you go?

When Dr Madeleine Maxwell is recruited by the St Mary's Institute of Historical Research, she discovers the historians there don't just study the past - they revisit it.

But one wrong move and History will fight back - to the death. And Max soon discovers it's not just History she's fighting...

The Nothing Girl (Frogmorton Farm, Book 1) 10/1/23

The Nothing Girl is book one in the Frogmorton Farm series, about a girl learning to find her voice. This series by Jodi Taylor is different from the Time Police and Chronicles of St Mary's and manages to have such a sweet and caring vibe whilst also invoking powerful emotions regarding certain characters.

This is a book series I truly wish I could read for the first time again and am crossing my fingers for another book to join the series.

January's Books

I've been thinking it might be fun to do a month-by-month look at the books I've read and thoughts about them. I read a whopping 12 books in January! This is a mix of winter break energy plus getting lots of Audible credits for Christmas.

Paladin's Kiss by Elizabeth Hunter

Once & Future by Cory McCarthy & A.R. Capetta

About Time by Jodi Taylor

I've provided in-depth thoughts below :)

I finished a re-read of Jodi Taylor's Chronicles of St. Mary's series. This is one of my all-time favorites, and it was a joy to read again. Also on Audible, the voice actor who reads them is one of my favorites. Hands down. She does great voices for each of the characters. By the end of the first or second book in the series, she has them down so well that you know who is speaking immediately.

I then read the the 2nd and 3rd novels in the Elemental Covenant series by Elizabeth Hunter. I'm really digging this new series and cannot wait for the next one to release! Elizabeth's world building is amazing, and I have read every single book in her Elemental world. That's 17 books, 8 novellas, and a short story, by the way. Can't recommend her work enough. She also has a few other series that I love like The Irin Chronicles and The Cambio Springs Series.

On the recommendation of my girlfriend, I picked up Once & Future and Sword in the Stars by Cory McCarthy and A.R. Capetta. They were a really fun sci-fi/fantasy YA experience about a reincarnation of the Arthurian legend. Arthur as a lesbian in space plus time travel? It was queer and nerdy and all around wonderful. I loved it!

I then dug back into Jodi Taylor's writing with her spin-off series about the Time Police from the St. Mary's world. The four books were seriously wonderful. I loved learning about each of the main characters. Jodi is also very good at getting me invested to the point that I find myself openly weeping over her stories. I really hope more books come out in that series.

Two more books! I read White Fragility by Dr. Robin DiAngelo. Well... most of it. I still have about an hour of listening. I definitely did a lot of chewing on ideas and reactions to this one. She does well as encapsulating the stumbling blocks to genuine conversations about race because of how White people are socialized. I think it's worth reading as a White person, which is the intended audience, but I think a Black American or other People of Color would find it elementary and waste of time for them.

Finally, a college friend recommended A Psalm of the Wild-Built by Becky Chambers and sent me a Kindle version. It is such a beautiful story about what it means to be alive and worthy. It's a sci-fi book about a future where robots have become sentient and chose to leave humanity behind to learn about the world, and humans have made due without that technology since. A human and a robot meet and go on a journey together learning about one another and life. It hit me right in the feels several times!
