About Me
Hello there! I'm someone who has always had a bit of a love-hate relationship with reading. While I struggle with it from time to time, managing to finish even a single book in a year feels like an achievement. Despite the challenges, I'm always on the lookout for books that can teach me something new or whisk me away to fantastical worlds.
My reading tastes are quite eclectic, ranging from science fiction and historical fiction to mystery, crime novels, and even manga. Whenever I find the time, I dive into these genres, always eager to explore new stories and perspectives.
If you have any book recommendations or want to chat about a great read, I'd love to hear from you!

"Hard Time" by Jodi Taylor is an enthralling addition to the Time Police series and a captivating spin-off from the beloved St Mary's series. Jodi Taylor continues to demonstrate her exceptional storytelling prowess, crafting narratives that effortlessly captivate readers and characters that become cherished favourites over time.
In this second instalment, the series truly comes into its own, building upon the solid foundation established in the debut novel. We embark on exhilarating adventures alongside Team Weird, a group that adds a unique flavour to the disciplined world of the Time Police. While the Time Police operate with a stricter and more regimented approach compared to the spirited historians of St Mary's, the inclusion of the irrepressible Matthew ensures no shortage of mischief as the team navigates their final days as recruits.

Although "Hard Time" can be enjoyed independently, diving into The Chronicles of St Mary's beforehand enriches the experience by providing insight into the zany and unpredictable world of St Mary's historians. I highly recommend immersing yourself in both series for a truly rewarding reading journey.
From a time slip in Versailles to challenges in the Ice Age and daring rescues of illegal time travellers, the Time Police are always on the case. This series is a must-read for fans of time travel fiction and anyone seeking a well-crafted, often humorous narrative populated with memorable characters. Don't miss out on the series that gave rise to it—start with "Just One Damn Thing After Another," the first book in The Chronicles of St Mary's by Jodi Taylor.

I’m actually considering making that our new motto. Did not work out quite as planned. How would that look in Latin, Charlie?’ ‘Er . . .’ He closed his eyes. ‘Um . . . Quod non satis elaborare sicut cogitavit is the best I can come up with off the top of my head, ma’am.’

Time travel stories usually follow the exploits of someone rocketing through time to change history. This person ponders the various time travel paradoxes or wrestles with the implications of an ever-splitting multiverse. All of which is to say that Kaliane Bradley’s The Ministry of Time is a unique look at the perils of time travel. Instead of travelers deliberately injecting themselves into history, a mysterious British Agency has used a recovered time machine to “rescue” five Britons from the past from their inevitable deaths by pulling them into a future ravaged by climate change. Our narrator is one of the few civil servants in on the secret, selected to help acclimate one of the “expats” to life in the twenty-first century...
