pickUnabridged Audiobook (10/10):
I‘ve gotta admit, I knew I would enjoy this novel. But I didn‘t expect this to be such a fun time all around! There‘s something about Timothy Zahn‘s writing, Marc Thompson‘s narration, and Star Wars that just forms the most iconic and legendary combo in literature. This heist-style story was truly a different direction for Zahn, and I loved every single second. Well crafted all around.
This week's non reading activities all occurred offworld!!! 😁😁😁 Galaxy's Edge was fantastic!!!
pickGood, not great. Certainly a fun caper book, but the Star Wars tie-in is weak and gimmicky. (Speaking just in reference to the movies - I haven‘t read many of the EU books.) Sure there are plenty of winking references (Han shot first, having a bad feeling about something, even an elaborately set up Indiana Jones reference) but ultimately the characters don‘t really behave like themselves. 👇

pickWhat a fun caper book!!! This takes place around the same time as Shadows of the Empire & involves a heist with Han, Chewy & Lando and a crew of new recruits. Most impressive was Marc Thompson's one man narration of these fabulous characters! While it could have been a bit shorter & I got a little bit lost in some of ther details, it's all relatable if you've seen the original trilogy. 🤓 May the force be with you!
Up next... my husband said I should have listened to this before we saw Solo, but I'm going to catch up now. Better late than never!
so-soEh, this was okay I guess.
Han, Chewie, Lando, and a team of 8 others (11, get it?) pull off a complicated heist between A New Hope and Empire.
Pros: Han runs from a boulder while swinging a whip, surprisingly likable Imperial operatives, neat little twist at the end
Cons: too big of a team to develop the characters, the planning was really boring - would have been a zippy montage in a movie
It all evened out to mediocre.
A shelfie for Star Wars Day.
Got to meet Timothy Zahn at Planet Comic Con in Kansas City! ?He was very nice and signed a copy of "Scoundrels" for me. I'm so glad Disney is hiring him to write new canon novels; his Expanded Universe novels were so awesome.
