I love Novellas as they clarify one character. They are usually placed in a series before the next book. #SeriesLove2023 @Andrew65 @TheSpineView I also found 3 bingo spots for #ISpyBingoJune @Clwojick @TheAromaofBooks

TheSpineView Well done! 5d
TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!!! 4d
Andrew65 Excellent, good to get to them all. 👏👏👏 4d
Clwojick Awesome! Way to go! 4d

Definitely one of the better Jack Reacher short stories in my opinion. Whereas a lot of them so far have felt pointless to the overall larger plot, this one fits in well to the back story.

It's always nice to see Reacher in uniform and see snippets of his military days and this book delivered that.

Three stars.

A sweet short little story delving into Christopher's world.
We meet his Skeleton Girl and get to know more about Mariposa and how it came to be.

I'd love to see more of this world!

An understated collection that champions women while gently mocking their reality. Most are feel-good stories that deliver convenient, practical and satisfying endings - with the exception of the title story which is disturbing, but also the most memorable.

YasmiNova Sadly a lot is still relevant today. There were 15 stories in this edition and some that I think capture still-current issues well include Two Storks (identity and motherhood), The Permanent Child (new mother's awakening to the suffering of other children and mothers) and Turned (female solidarity). 2w

This short story is even better the second time around. I previously just listened to all the short stories (1 released each Christmas) but now I‘m reading the entire series in order for #serieslove2023. It‘s even sweeter having read it this way and I can‘t wait to start the next book. Love love love this series. @julesG I understand why you keep rereading the series!! @TheSpineView @Andrew65

julesG Can you believe book 14 is releasing in less than a month? 2w
Texreader @julesG I had no idea! Have you also read the Time Police books? 2w
TheSpineView Fantastic! 2w

julesG Yes, I've read the TP books. I think I read the first TP (Doing Time) after book 10 (Hope for the Best). I wouldn't read the TP series before that point. In the short "And Now For Something Completely Different" (#9.7) Jodi's intro says she was fiddling with the idea of the TP. So it seems most natural to read it either before book 10 or just after. 2w
julesG Having read an ARC for book 14, I am tempted to say, wait until you've read all 14 St Mary's books and then read TP. Then again, there are no spoilers for St Mary's in the TP books and vice versa. 2w
Andrew65 Well done 👏👏👏 2w

I‘m going to sneak in this short audiobook. I‘ve already read it years ago but since I‘ve started the series from the beginning, I‘m going to listen to this one again so I stay in order. And this author just puts me in a good mood. #serieslove2023 @TheSpineView @Andrew65

julesG My daughter started listening to Christmas Past before leaving for school. 😁 Made me rethink my listening plans for today. 🤪 2w

This is such a powerful short story about tradition and modernity. What do we gain? What do we lose? It‘s important to remember our heritage and to honor it. Alice Walker is another important voice in literature.
