The Christmas short stories are bite sized TCoSM snacks and I love them. They are utterly delightful, with all of the wacky adventure and humor of the full length novels but typically without significant, heavy heartbreak. Major Guthrie‘s last jump takes our team to the Battle of Bannockburn in June, 1314. It‘s typical St. Mary‘s mayhem. Zara Ramm is as impeccable a narrator as always.

Revisiting a St Mary's short story while on my first leg of my journey to the #ReadingRetreat and #20in4 #readathon.

Armed with a kid-version soy-milk Dalgona coffee (grain coffee) I'm trying to read a few pages while the kids race around virtual racetracks.

This just-released short story set at Christmas, which in keeping with all the Christmas stories in this series, is a working one. A crew has gone missing at the battle that determined Scotland‘s freedom from England so another crew is off to rescue them, finding more trouble than anticipated. Finishing, as usual, with a Christmas party! #holidayread #wintergames #tmskellington

Understandable, when a conversation with teenagers just goes in circles. #holidayread #wintergames #tmskellington @crimson613 @clwojick @staycurious

Chrissyreadit I find teen years to be the most challenging, not for the faint of heart and at times the most meaningful and heart filling. 5y

Texreader @Chrissyreadit Truth! 5y

mom2bugnbee As a mother of 17yo & 14yo girls, let me agree & also add that parenting this age is equally difficult & fulfilling. 5y

Why we love Jodi Taylor! 🤣🤣🤣 This from her newest Christmas short story released yesterday (thanks to @Crinoline_Laphroaig for the heads-up!). #holidayread #wintergames #tmskellington @crimson613 @clwojick @StayCurious

BTW, this was mom‘s advice to me thru elementary school. It stuck. Mom always provides the most helpful advice on the things most meaningful to me!

Absolutely Bloody Brilliant. Stephen Hawking. ?
More importantly - What's going on with Markham? ?
And: "St Mary‘s thanks you for your service.‘ We echoed the toast, our voices ringing around the Hall. He stood for a moment and then smiled and raised his glass. ‘St Mary‘s – it‘s been an honour and a privilege.‘" ?

Perfect way to end Christmas Day 😍

Deifio I have to read this series, I've heard so much about it already. Which one is the first? 5y

WeeWeegieBookworm It was on my TBR pile for ages because I'd heard good things about it too. I haven't planned on going audio with it, but got the first couple on sale. Tbh, it took me till about book 3 to really get into it but its so worth it 😊 the characters and plots are just so fun

Why I love Max, she's a kindred spirit: "there is nothing more heartbreaking than stuffing yourself on the first two courses and then realising you haven‘t left room for your favourite pudding." ?

Happy Christmas! Perfect Gift from Author Jodi Taylor. Annual Christmas Day short story of misadventures of the Historians/Not Time Travelers of St Mary's. This year I challenged myself to catch up on series. Not that it was by any means a hardship. Love coming late to a party and having stacks to read. But it's wonderful to join in and read new short story the day of.
