I am absolutely devouring these!
I've just finished book 4 and couldn't put any of them down!

Anyone else a fan?

I agree about the last one...she's knocking them out so fast maybe she's just not taking a such care as she should over them . The early ones are great though

Another fan here. Great characters and some parts are laugh out loud funny. And as a professional historian, I have to say her writing of historical events is spot on.

I agree about the most recent one, though. Very difficult to read in places.

The author did a weird thing with the plot at the end of book 3 / beginning of book 4 which I was unsure about, which is weird because I normally like ideas like that.

Thanks to this thread I've just discovered book 8 is out - that's my evening sorted!

I love them. Got the first as a freebie on Kindle, when it was first published. It's the only series I've read where I find myself checking the author's website almost weekly to find out when the next one is due. When they are published I have to actively limit how long I read for because if I didn't, I'd finish them in one sitting.

I loved them; they were comfort reading for me, and I felt that I knew the characters personally.

Read them after a recommendation on here too - love them!

The audio versions on Audible are great and quite a few of the short stories are on there for free.

LBOCS2 with you there, nearly finished it and know what you mean.

Love these books! Like PPs I followed a recommendation on here for books connected with time travel and loved them from the first one. I was absolutely delighted to find there were so many of them. Can't wait for more.

I love them. I find them very funny and love the historical adventures too. I particularly like the characters and the way they interact and talk to each other.

Love a book that can make me laugh, then cry the next minute.

BroomstickOfLove · 27/04/2017 18:25

I love them. There's a pretty active Facebook fan group. I liked the most recent one, but I totally understand LBOCS's view. I live near one of the sites visited, so I really liked the history bits.

LBOCS2 · 27/04/2017 18:21

I love them but really really struggled with the most recent one, for reasons I will not divulge but expect you will understand when you get to it (she says, cryptically...).

Yes me! Many thanks to whoever it was who recommended them. I'm sorry but I have forgotten who it was. I am on the second one now, love the character Max.
