DESCRIPTION:
"Well, I need to read the blurbs better" according to JBCarroll1968. I love Jodi Taylor's books enough to fangirl all over them but I probably wouldn't have purchased this had I read better because I already owned all the stories. I did really enjoy the one new one and persuaded family members not to try the rock experiment but I do wish maybe 2 new stories had been added. Still, she's a great writer and the short stories will help hold me off until the next book.. "Fun Stories of St Mary's Combined for the First Time" according to Constant Reader. This book is a compilation of short stories previously released individually on Amazon, plus one additional new story. Some reviewers have complained that there was so little new material. As a rule, I do not buy short story stand-alone releases, even those by my favorite authors such as Jodi Taylor. When I start a new book, I hope to spend more time in the author’s world than a short story allows. Also, because I read so quickly, it seems that the price on the short story releases is disproportionate to the time entertained. (I did make an exception for “Little D. "Great Collection of Jodi's Short Stories!" according to Wiggiemomsi (Wiggie). I absolutely LOVE Jodi's marvelous stories, and was thrilled to find the short stories in one collection - which was clearly marked as such. It doesn't seem right to give such a gifted author fewer stars than she obviously deserves, just because some readers didn't READ that this was a compilation of prior shorts, plus an original (which was marvelous!) Authors NEED those 5 stars, and it's rather petty to deny them! I will always give Jodi 5 stars; she DESERVES them!
'The Great St Mary's Day Out': hooray! It's a happy holiday. For everyone except Max, the only one with her mind on the job. Follow the disaster magnets of St Mary's as they hurtle around history! The ninth book in The Chronicles of St Mary's Series collects the best-selling short stories in audio for the first time. The Great British Bake Off it's not! And a bonus a new and previously unpublished short story - 'A Perfect Storm'.. 'Ships and Stings and Wedding Rings': a gun left behind in ancient E
