The Chronicles of St Mary's contains many full length novels and novellas as well as a couple of really short stories, two of them I review here. #TimeTravelTuesday GoodReads GoodReads ★★★★ I'm a big fan of Jodi Taylor's St. Mary's series so this very short, free story "Desiccated water" was something I had to read....

GoodReads ★★★★ #TimeTravelTuesday A Perfect Storm was just what we needed after And The Rest Is History. It was a much lighter read and more like the earlier works, where Max is more, well, Max. Expect everything you've come to expect from St. Mary's and you won't be disappointed! A Perfect Storm (The Chronicles of... Continue Reading →

GoodReads ★★★★★ #TimeTravelTuesday Time travel and Shakespeare, this was just so much fun!My initial review sums it up quite well, but you might one to start with the first book in the series.

GoodReads ★★★ So, I don't follow Pie Comics online.

GoodReads ★★★★ #TimeTravelTuesday Another Christmas short from St Mary's. Another delightful tale. What should have been an easy, although off the book, jump, will turn, as usual, into a more complicated situation really quick.

GoodReads ★★★★ This was one interesting booklet from the Little Black Classics. It's fun how it sometimes throws things at you that you were not expecting. This is, as the name suggests, a book on Tea. It also tries to turn tea in a philosophy, but I mainly found the information on the traditional ways... Continue Reading →
GoodReads ★★★★ I recently saw my first Chekhov play, Uncle Vanya, just before the lockdown. And seeing the masterly crafted sadness there, I was not surprised that the stories included in A Nervous Breakdown would also focus for a large part on mental health/happiness.Especially the first two stories, A Nervous Breakdown and The Black Monk...
