Teaser Tuesday is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by The Purple Booker.
Anyone can play along! Just do the following:
• Grab your current read
• Open to a random page
• Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
• BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
• Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!
This is my choice of the day:
No Time Like the Past – Book 5 of The Chronicles of St Marys series by Jodi Taylor
49% Things were hotting up in the local farmers’ market where smelly cheese and oddly shaped 
sausages were being purchased with enthusiasm, especially after sampling thimblefuls of assorted murky and very sticky drinks, which invariably resulted in a sharp intake of breath, a momentary loss of vision, and utterances of ‘Wow! I’ll definitely have a bottle of that! No, make it two!’ People were staggering away with slightly less control over their limbs than they had previously enjoyed.
BLURB: St Mary’s has been rebuilt and it’s business as usual for the History department.
But first, there’s the little matter of a seventeenth-century ghost that only Mr Markham can see. Not to mention the minor inconvenience of being trapped in the Great Fire of London…and an unfortunately-timed comfort break at Thermopylae leaving the fate of the western world hanging in the balance.
I have had a very hectic week, followed by an intense week-end at the marvellous 20 Books 2018 Conference at Runneymede. So I wanted something both funny and action-packed to take me to somewhere completely different – and I don’t know anyone else who does it better than Jodi Taylor’s wonderful time travelling adventure series, which can have me laughing aloud and blinking back tears in the course of a handful of pages. Wonderful stuff!
I love the title! That alone would grab me and make me curious about the book. Thanks for sharing😁
Do start at the beginning of this series – it’s too good to crash in midway – and that would be Just One Damned Thing After Another:).
Sounds good! Great choice! ⭐️
Oh it is! Have you ever read any of her books?
Love the teaser! – I’ve never read Jodi Taylor but I’m almost certain I have one of her books knocking about somewhere! I’ll have to investigate! 😀
I highly recommend her writing. Sharp, funny and full of action:)
Such a great teaser! Funny and action-packed is always a winning combo for me 🙂
This is a fabulous series – she is a really good writer and provides a real roller-coaster read. Plenty of laughs and a few tears and loads of action.
I loved the first book! Thanks for reminding me I have to pick up the series again 🙂
Oh do! Because this isn’t a series that drops in quality, as far as I’m concerned…
Yet another series I haven’t follow… oh gosh, space (book) is killing my reading list! 😀 Thanks for keeping me connected with the world! 🙂
No worries – you’ll catch up soon enough and this series isn’t going anywhere:))
Now that puts you right in the scene. Wonderful writing and I love the title and cover, Sarah.
It’s great – I think you’d love this series, Laura. She is funny and yet plenty is going on.
I love the sound of that market – although, to be honest, the idea of a drink that temporarily causes loss of eyesight would scare me I think. I still haven’t read Jodi but I do have one of her books – Just One Damned Thing After Another which I’m hoping to get to this year.
Lynn 😀
If you can shoehorn it into your schedule, I think you will love it. Funny and action-packed with loads of emotion – no one else writes like her…
