Continuing with random fun, non-cerebral reading to counteract my current stress level. This week was supposed to get better, but alas ... Kinda want a beer, but hubby went to the gym like a responsible adult, and I try not to drink alone.

pickI finished this arc of the saga!
I can't tell you how much I enjoy listening to this cast. It's all there, love, loss, fighting, sassy droids, a lost hand, and blaster sounds that totally made my work day go by so much faster!
pickThere is a vast difference in reading the words vs listening to a cast ensemble reading but either I truly enjoyed this Shakespearean take on a film classic.
#currentlyreading and I had to share this beautiful monologue.

I love this illustration of Luke and the tauntaun.
“What the actual fuck, Luke?”
Not a direct quote, but close enough judging by his expression.
I‘m sure The Martian is fully represented in these posts so I‘m going to go for another off planet adventure set in a galaxy far far away.... and these Shakespearean versions are just wonderful, and if you can imagine even better on audio read by a full cast production. Definitely my favorite, just as with the films, has to be the darker Empire Striketh Back #GiveAwayArtemis
pickI had some free time thus afternoon, so I finally made good on threat to catch up on the Star Wars Shakespeare. A good time was had. ;) #readinglog #sciencefiction #audiobook #starwars #shakespeare #adaptation
pickThis was so fun. Listening to the audiobook was hilarious and wonderful.
If you love Shakespeare, and if you love Star Wars, you will enjoy this fun story.

pickA fantastic retelling of the old tale in iambic pentameter! It was amazing how well he pulled off the imagery to speech conversion.
#TBT What was I reading last year this time? Nothing! I was however listening to these awesome audiobooks that reimagined the Star Wars Sagas as Shakespearean plays. It sounds ridiculous, but it works amazingly well! All the dark humor and clever asides of Shakespeare, the original stories, plus inside quips about who shot first, what's R2 REALLY thinking behind those beeps, and much more! Read by a cast of actors & as good as a radio drama play!
