This was fun.
I groaned a little when I realized ti was a groundhog day timeloop, but it turned out okay.

I liked when they took days off from researching just to have some time for living.
When they taught their classes and went off road on the curriculum. For someone who said he didn't have powerful magic, that room was pretty detailed. That seemed pretty powerful.

I liked when they went to the fairy relm.

Skye, i really wanted to get to this one first as youve beaten me on all the others 😄😄, but not to be . Definitely wont be this week
Glad it sounds good anyway. Ive only managed to fit 1 quest book into SH ..was hoping for more

[Skye Blue ☆*~ﾟლ(´ڡ`ლ)~*☆]

I'm got a little worried having 20 books
I only have 1 that crosses over.
I got worried and wen't in overdrive for a while.
I'm hoping to be done this week, so that I can take my time and get the books to cross over the challenges a little better next month.

[Janeylou]

Yes thats what im hoping ..definitely need to be more organised .
Was it Dead in the Water that worked for hunt ..think i got low 50's but will have to do .I was hoping Kit Sawyer would work but im not counting my chickens

[Skye Blue ☆*~ﾟლ(´ڡ`ლ)~*☆]

Oh, wait I had 2 cross over.
Dead in the water and Kit Sawyer.
I used Kit Sawyer for Nato and got 49 points.

[Janeylou]

Dead in water i got 55 , will let you know about kit sawyer when finished

I'm not keen on Fantasy in general and dislike writing in first person, so not off to a good start with this.

[Mrsgeo]

I like the story but the execution is mediocre at best. However, I'm always surprised by how much I enjoy reading Fantasy while I'm doing it.

[Mrsgeo]

By the end, I was bored & felt it was me stuck in a time loop. At age 15. These were supposed to be mature men but sounded more like teenagers for most of the book. However, it confirmed my initial thoughts on it - good story, mediocre execution.
I must be a sucker for punishment, though, as I'll probably read more from this author, in the hope that the execution improves with practice.

[Janeylou]

Im almost half way and a bit bored tbh , just keep going over & over . But reading your reviews an dbiy more happens soon..cant come quick enough 😄

[Skye Blue ☆*~ﾟლ(´ڡ`ლ)~*☆]

I went in expected super cheesy.
So it exceeded my expectation.
So it got an extra star for that.

It's what my mom calls a vegi book. Something you don't need to think to much about, and just vegitate.

When I'm in the right mood, it hits just right.
It was cute and had a couple fun moments.

I've been stressed out the last couple weeks, so it was perfect timing for me to read it.

[Janeylou]

Much better now they are doing different things

[Janeylou]

Finished , found this a bit better once they started going to fairy realm and doing things different. Cant believe it took them so long to think of going to previous owner thought 🙄🙄.
Not read any Toby Wise before but will give him another go

Late to the party. Time loop stories usually feel so dull but I enjoyed this one. It was just a bit of sweet, lighthearted, fun and a nice quick read.

I would definitely try Toby Wise again
