    Congrats on your win! I haven't read this yet - it's been on my TBR pile for awhile so I'd like to read it soon. I saw the author speak at a book signing and he is hilarious!

    This is a great series! I've listened to the audiobooks, which I think added to the charm, but I think they'd be good on paper as well.

    Enjoy your reading!

    this is a wonderful, charming story about a place I'd never encountered as a setting before. I urge you not to let it languish in your TBR!
