Love to read! All things!
Though sweet spots are Science Fiction and Fantasy and humorous Young Adult stuff. I generally read in bed, so my preference is for less stressful stories. My favorite stories that ones that are both Quirky and Unexpected.
Due to book experiences being very dependent on the reader, I belive that reviews should be short.

I don't want this series to ever end. Never repetitive, always exploring the incredible world of Nevermoor. Great writing and storytelling that improves on re-reading.

Good characters, interesting plot/world. Nothing too stressful happens, but lots of intraospective conversations and a great sense of what it means to be a friend.

Something about knowing this was tied to Huckleberry Finn made this much less interesting.It's well written, but the plotline was desigend for Huck, not Jim. Trying to squeeze something out of that side of the story leaves it lacking. Again, good writing, and Jame's internal monologue and perception of the world is very powerful. But the lasting impact was very low given high expectations going in.

It's a fun fantasy-ish alternate universe version of Groundhog Day. Has a twisting plot line that never gets to far afield and that encourages introspection. Good stuff all around.

Fun story that moves at a good pace but gets a little out over it's skis at the end.
