#or How We Found the Bishop’s Bird Stump at Last

[reloha]

There is something like this in the Oxford Time Travel series by Connie Willis.

tv shows with time travel organizations/bureaus/police/agencies/whatever should have a department with instead of a tech genius eating candy, it’s a harried seamstress or fashion designer who is like

“1450 italy? does it look like I have the time to dye you wool? nO. YOU’RE GOING TO THE 1980s”

and throws shoulder pads at the hapless time agent

“To Say Nothing of the Dog: or ‘How We Found The Bishop’s Bird Stump At Last’“ by Connie Willis is so hilarious y’all. i keep cackling. slightly sad i only have the 2hrs i had put off for a day because... i’m really having fun with this story! and yes, it is the second book to the Accidental Bubonic Plague Time Travel series I had started- but w no plagues, just romance & comedic shenanigans w time travel. tbh you don’t really need to read the first book to enjoy the series.
