Books
Where The Crawdads Sing
I love the way this narrative is told. We are delivered small bites of chapters that you can just devour.

The Underground Railroad
Overall this is a boring story. When nothing is happening with the characters nothing is happening at all.

Politics and manipulative news. Coupled with religious experiences. I am certainly not interested.
Into The Wilderness
The period that this was set in made me very excited, as did the setting. I am a big fan of early frontier life.
