Wrong Place, Wrong Time | Gillian McAllister

I‘m at a work retreat this week and decided to bail early after dinner to curl up in my Airbnb with this book and a cup of tea. 📚☕️🤫

1) I try to be, but I'm getting much better at adjusting on the fly when things don't go to plan!

2) tagged book - When you don't clearly hear or remember your mission when time traveling, a comedy of error ensues.

• I‘m fairly certain that I loved this series more the second time around, I think maybe it's because I didn‘t stress about the time-traveling making sense and just went with it. You have to be able to go with it. Also, I love these characters.
• Mason Lloyd & Courtney Patterson both gave amazing performances, especially with the French language.

I absolutely hated this book, only finishing because it was short and I could then pan it.
The repetitive, simple writing style drove me crazy and was exacerbated by the bland, childish narration. The text was so laboured and obvious - it was clear from the start that you could not change the present, but could change the future. And the characters were incredibly obtuse. I cannot remember a book I have enjoyed less.

Anna40 Oh no! Sounds terrible! 4d

In some near future the British government‘s Ministry of Time somehow finds a door to time travel and use it to rescue a handful of people from past eras to train them to live in our time. It sounds even sillier when I write it down!
The premise didn‘t make much sense to me but there were aspects of the book I enjoyed, particularly the difficulties the historical characters have adjusting to modern life, which were amusing.

When I bought this book I didn't realise it was Sci-Fi, I actually didn't realise it until I started reading. I'm not a fan of Sci-Fi.
That being said, I found this one rather entertaining.
It's an entirely different writing style; than what I'm use to, so I struggle a lot to keep everything together and had a bit of going back and forth at times. In the beginning it was a lot of work for me to read.

Enchanted_Bibliophile But as the story progresses and I got more comfortable with the writing style, I found I quite enjoyed it.
And with that ending I'll need to get the second book; but maybe I'll look for the audiobook.

My third and final day of my short story marathon, andI‘m officially 15 books ahead of schedule and 16 books to make my reading goal for the year. This weekend has been a lot of fun and I found a lot of great stories in doing this. COMPLETELY RECOMMEND doing a short story marathon. You never know what you might find.
