vivastory John Gwynne keeps popping up. I think I'm going to give him a try soon. And Liu's 3 Body Problem trilogy (I think it has a diff name) is one of my faves of all-time. Still think about it years later 2y

This is the book tie in for the movie. I like the movie and getting more into the character's heads is always fun. I especially enjoyed more of Qi'ra's and L3's story.

Vansa I loved this movie. I wish they had continued this story, Alden Ehrenreich was excellent as a young Han Solo. 2y

I love when authors hide little Easter eggs in books.

1. Tagged – I purchased it at the Exchange soon after I got out of quarantine. I didn‘t purchased any books in July 🤔
2. To read, my balcony. To listen to audiobooks, the car
3. Never found a song that sums me up, but one that fits my current mood is Perfect Day by Hoku (from the Legally Blonde soundtrack)

Eggs Thanks for joining in 👏🏻📚🎶🤗 4y

I enjoyed the novelization and learning more about Han and where he started and his motivations. I thought it was well done. Of course, I didn‘t have any expectations of this book other than I thought it would be a fun read. And it was! 👍🏻👍🏻

Note: I have not seen the movie. I know some folks were disappointed with the movie. Regardless, since I haven‘t seen it, I have no comparison.

wkm306 Good level for kids? 4y
BookwormAHN I liked the movie 😺 4y
swynn I also liked the movie. 4y
wanderinglynn @wkm306 maybe teens. I don‘t have kids, so I don‘t read with that filter. But there are issues touched on like slavery, killing to survive, that I probably wouldn‘t want a middle reader to read. 4y

You‘d think I‘d get tired of the novelizations, but the story is still great, and you get a bit more Val and Rio (I‘d happily read whole stories of their exploits), more Qi‘ra and what happened in the missing years, more L3 (she REALLY needs her own TV series/something), Han in Imperial flight school, and more of Lando and his capes. So much fun, and I‘m still amazed at how versatile John Williams score is as it reused in all of these audiobooks!

The next book for my #SummersEndReadathon @Clwojick

awishman This novelization is sooooo good. I absolutely loved what it added for L3, Qi'ra and Val. 5y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @awishman I know, you would think the novelizations would be so boring, but nope they always add more to the story. Solo in flight school was already totally worth it! 5y
Clwojick YASSSSS! This one looks good. 5y

Couldn‘t help but notice our 2 books a month in the summer was a total bust & most people are just reading/finishing June‘s pick. So I revamped the schedule back to 1 a month going forward....which means based on our last vote August‘s read is now Solo, and I‘m pushing off The Princess, the Scoundrel, and the Farm Boy until September. Hopefully that works for everyone and will give everyone a chance to catch up a little.

I watched the Solo movie on a tiny airline movie screen, so I really enjoyed this audiobook. It made some things much more clear and I appreciated reading what was going through Qui‘ra‘s head, as I remember finding her quite inscrutable in the movie. Loved the epilogue too. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A nice companion to the movie! I love that it added several passages from Qi‘ra‘s perspective - she‘s become one of my favorite Star Wars characters! I wish “Solo: A Star Wars Story” had done better at the box office; it‘s definitely worth seeing/reading.
