Rogue One: A Star Wars Story | 
pickSo, I loved this particular movie because I don‘t know, it just hit differently than all the other ones. I had no clue about the ending until the end and I cried. My husband thought I knew already because it's mentioned in one of the movies, don't ask me which one...but I don't retain that much or always know what's going on...so...yeah. But anyhow, it was super cool to get inside their heads and all.
pickI really love this movie and the little extras in the book are fantastic. Brodhi was far more interesting in the book and K-2SO is definitely one my favorite droids. I can't wait to see the Cassian Andor series when it finally come on 💙
pickAlexander Freed does something that many authors don‘t do as effectively: he is able to get inside the mind of many different characters throughout his stories and this novelization is no exception.
This novel adds so much to the amazing film and helps you to better understand the motivations behind characters and their actions. This book is absolutely incredible, if you enjoyed the film, you‘ll enjoy this novel.
Thought we‘d go with the other way with adaptations! 🎥👉🏻📕
1. I‘ve read quite a few of the Star Wars ones. 😁
2. Sometimes. More recent ones, yes.
3. Inception. That movie is bananas and I want more.
#sundayfunday Have a good day and don‘t forget to tag me!

pickI don‘t know why I wanted to make myself sad but here we are. I also forgot how much of a crush I have on Cassian. If anyone needs me I‘ll be in my fan fiction cave.
pickEven knowing how this one is going to end, I still teared up...it probably didn‘t help reading them as a trilogy, everyone you grew close to over the 3 Rogue One novels mets an unfortunate end. But this backstory of ordinary people resisting, resisting with every once of will in them, giving it all and then sacrificing even more, it‘s the backdrop to a story we know, but it‘s only through the struggle of past generations, that the next knows Hope.
Even when you already know how this one‘s going to end... I still teared up by the end of this one.

And they are always so clever at reflecting human behavior through the droids perspective, to be one of a group ‘just following orders‘ is easy, the flow of the mob....but individuality is so much riskier, scarier, because it means you have to make decisions yourself and the consequences are all yours.
#StarWarsBuddyRead
I‘ve always loved how the Star Wars universe has portrayed the affection between droids and their human counterparts...in the rebellion there is always some compassion there, some shared interests....L3 would have approved.

For those of you enjoying this month‘s #StarWarsBuddyRead we might all know how it ends from seeing the film, BUT it looks like we‘ll soon be able to see more of Cassian on the screen.

pickI really loved this. Star Wars audiobooks are my new obsession but I still blazed through this one. Well written and adds more emotion and weight to the movie ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
A quick switch up from my usual mystery, thriller, horror novels. I really wanna indulge in my sci-fi side. And I mean...Star Wars. Cmon. 🚀
1. Empire Strikes Back!! It‘s still #1 but Rogue One was so so amazing, definitely in the running for #1.
2. Of all time: Han Solo, then R2D2; from Rogue One: Chirrut Imwe, then Bodhi Rook
3. Ummm, maybe?
Thanks @GarthRanzz ! Perfect post for May the 4th! #trivialthursday
1. Rogue One - one of the few films I‘ve seen three times at the cinema 2. Jyn Erso 3. Not yet, but sure! #trivialThursday
pickShout out to my four favorite books I read in 2017! Six of Crows, A Man Called Ove, Rogue Heroes, and Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. A YA fantasy, thought provoking contemporary fiction, a British WWII history, and Star Wars - that about captures my reading interests! 😆Also I have to include a shout out to @BookFreakOut and my book club, who introduced me to two of these picks. #2017reads #endofyearlist Happy reading in 2018!

She lifted her head in surprise, following his line of sight above the tree line. Beyond the distant peaks, a green and blue symphony of lights had begun. It rippled and shimmered like sunshine on water, leaving Rich blinking back tears. He'd read something about this but had never seen it before.
“It's the aurora borealis,” Lou said quietly. “Northern lights.

so-soWorth the listen mainly because I enjoyed the internal monolgue...not much else really adds anything to the story.
I've only seen the movie, but there is a novel and sundry fact and sticker books as well. Today's #Septembowie prompt just made me think of this story, and especially the hug. "We can beat them
just for one day.
We can be #heroes
just for one day."

How I do Friday morning work... #rogueoneinthebackground
Awesome audiobook...need much lighter reads right now 😊#audiobook #audiobooklove #geektastic
The Star Wars marathon is continuing, after a break to finish up some cleaning (of course I have my kindle, so that I can multitask 😂😂)! #maythefourthbewithyou
#AprilBookShowers Day 9: #ArtificialIntelligence - what could be more filled with AI than this novelization of Star Wars? :) Review copy received from my favourite distributor.
Not book related but I didn't get to see Rogue One in theaters, so I bought it on iTunes tonight and watched it instead of reading. BEST $20 I'VE SPENT ALL YEAR! ❤❤❤
I so wish I could make this one, but I'll be duel working the dish pits, all 5 days a week. I'm totally excited for Saturday's Fanfest! If work wants me on-call again, a 4:00pm start can be doable. - Let's keep hopeful for a possible projector airing of Beauty & The Beast, on a summer library weekend. 😺
My new Jyn Pop on my new Death Star mouse pad. At least something good came of today.
pickI didn't get to see the movie yet, so I read rhis to avoid somebody spoiling the story. It is actually a decent movie to book adaptation.
When Krennic met Vader...
This novelisation is so good 👌
8% ginger beer, as recommended by the bar staff at our usual post-work haunt! #booksandbooze
pickOh, the feels! ?This book is even more heartbreaking and powerful than the movie. It highlights the thoughts and struggles of each character. These Rebels are ordinary, broken people who found the courage to do the impossible. Makes "A New Hope" so much more poignant. This is easily my favorite book in the new Star Wars canon; highly recommend!
I put Queen Bees back on the shelf, as I've decided to save it for my March reading challenge, where the focus will be on female authors.
For now, it's time to take a trip to that galaxy far, far away...

This little beauty (the book sleeve) showed up in my mail today. I am absolutely in love with this Book Beau. I just wish I was able to snag an XL beau instead of an indie because my current read doesn't fit. K-2SO was definitely my favorite character in the movie 😁😎
pickLet's just not talk about how many times I've seen Rogue One, okay? So of course I loved the book. #LitsyAtoZ #R
I've seen the movie three times and still this is what I want to read
My star wars crazy girls saw this in the adult section in the library today. I now have to read it to see if it's ok for them to read!!
This week has been busy to the point that I feel 15 minutes behind myself all the time. Catalyst was due back before I even got halfway through. I'm taking a half hour time out. ☕️❤📚
pickThis was my first #24in48 book (along with the knitting I was working on as I read). It was a good novelization of the movie. I particularly enjoyed everything with Bodhi cause he's my favorite. But getting into the heads of all the members of Rogue One really added depth to the story that I loved to see.
Maybe I'll read instead of going to the movie.
My loot from the Book Club Dinner hosted by the National Library Board, Singapore for book club participants and facilitators at The Pod - except for Rogue One which was sent by Pansing. Here's to a reading weekend!
Finally got to see the movie last night and I loved it!! I haven't read any Star Wars books yet (mostly because there are so many I don't know where to start!) so I'm going to start with this one. Has anyone read it? Any other Star Wars books recommendations?
