As fun as this series has been, it's becoming a bit too repetitive and tedious in this 4th, and final, volume (⸝⸝⸝> ▵ <⸝⸝⸝).

Uh-oh, the impetuous Slippage is completely out of control!
Where, &in what time, will our 3 student-historians find themselves?
Will they, individually/together, change the course of history?
Is their Deadline Date literal?
What's happened to Lady Schrapnell & the others in 2060: Dunworthy, the Net Operators-Badri & Linna, & (my fave!) Colin- now a fervent 17yo in his final year at Eton, headed for Oxford next year.

Valerie Book Valkyrie
is starting
The 4th, and final, installment in Connie Willis' Oxford Time Travel series!
Thus far the series has been great fun and lavishly furious!
With each installment checking in at over 400 pages, it's a perfect series for this year's annual LBC ₍₍⚞(˶>ᗜ<˶)⚟⁾⁾ ♡

Yeah, Hawk, I've been reading night and day! And just can't believe there's enough hours in the day to keep up with Berengaria, Alan, Chris, and Ian! I'm almost convinced that they be time travelling readers!
I'm putting up rookie numbers at best - don't even worry about me. :) I'll be finishing middle of the pack. You're doing great, Valerie - and enjoyment is paramount.
heheh re time travelling readers ;)maybe they read/listen to a different book with each eye/ear? ;)
and/or are able to multitask! i need to focus on what I'm reading, whatever format I access it.
tho iirc you can knit/crochet at the same time as read!? :)
and totally re what Chris says about enjoyment being the important thing :)
Yes! The JOY of the experience is paramount📚🤗📚 ! Huzzah for all the multitaskers🤹♂️!
Like you, Hawk, I'm an inveterate unitasker🙌!
Knitting is only able to happen during an audiobook🧶🎧.
For me, a large part of the Joy in reading is derived from the five senses experience of a quality hard cover, cloth bound, sewn binding, ink & payrus publication accompanied by a favorite beverage and/or snack🤗.
I actually rather enjoy knitting and audiobooking as well, so cheers :) I listened through all of the Dragonlance books whilst I was a teenager, knitting two scarves and a pair of socks. I dropped many stitches, haha. It's a lovely way to enjoy a book and a craft though!

I dropped ..."Hey Chris, I'm impressed that you knit (knitted?) socks as a teen! I didn't get to my first pair (actually it was only a singleton on account of it looking like it was knit for a troll foot 😦) until about 10 years ago, and now I knit snuggly seemless socks (two-at-the-same-time on 2 double pointed needles) that are so comfortably tailored to my own feet 😃!
I'm just finishing up a very simple hat and scarf in orange & brown for the autumn season and have a Norwegian yoked style sweater on the needles about 75% done and hoping to finish in time to ring in the New Year!
Recently Hawk has come upon some knitting/crocheting supplies and was going to take up the needles! We were conversing about it in a previous comment thread that I've lost track of and would enjoy resuming. Hope Hawk sees this comment 🤞.
Yes, knitting and audiobooks go together like Dungeon Crawler Carl & Princess Donut
Are you working on something currently?
