Welcome to Litsy!

#starwarsbuddyread

Yes that says JANUARY. I did read it closer to Jan, but I never posted my review. I quite liked this one although there were times that I would have liked to spend a little longer in a particular timeline. I don‘t mind the multi-thread construction, but occasionally it felt a bit fragmented. Still I enjoyed the adventure, the characters, the humor, the action. Well done.

I also want fuzzy snuggles forever 😍

#StarWarsBuddyRead

It‘s the end of the month already! How‘d it go #StarWarsBuddyRead ? I saw some loves and some bails, there definitely are very different focuses depending on which book you picked up in the new canon. I loved this one, but bailed on December‘s pick myself (Shadow Fall), so I completely understand.

I couldn't get into the story because it switched point in time and characters within two minutes of the chapter starting. Also not in the mood to read about a man's midlife crisis using "the fate of the Galaxy" as an excuse to bail on his kid because he feels inadequate as a parent. Probably redeemed in the end, but I couldn't handle the whiplash required to get there. Bummed because I really wanted to read more about L3.

#StarWarsBuddyRead

Just finished my re-read and I have to say, I still enjoyed this one. I loved the Leia & Han loving banter, the Han & Lando bro-banter, Han struggling with fatherhood, and I loved the addition of an Ewok & Gungan in unexpected but delightful roles, and as always I love L3.

Han & Lando in another adventure to save their skins (and the galaxy)! Can they save the galaxy from murderous robots? Or themselves? And is Lando falling in love?

1. I‘m working on a 3000-word feature article about how biological sex differences influence drug efficacy, and it‘s due Friday.

2. Coffee Crisp! I got 4 in my Christmas stocking and I‘m savoring them.

3. First thing in the morning, while I‘m drinking my coffee and getting ready for the day. And last thing at night when I‘m tucked in and relaxing.

I really enjoyed this book. It takes place after The Aftermath Trilogy and features Han Solo and Lando Calrissian on a mission to find and destroy a transmitter that will turn all Droids against the rest of the galaxy 🤖

It‘s time for some old favorite characters to come back onto the scene. I‘m looking forward to this Han & Lando adventure.

Just an update/reminder to anyone interested in the #StarWarsBuddyRead and starting their 2021 planning.

The first half of the year are the few new canon books we haven‘t read yet, and then we are onto the newer ones in release order!

And now some science fiction.
I love Star Wars (I know every word of the films) but this is my first Star Wars book.
Personally I‘ve found this book quite good but nothing special.
I loved the fact that it shows the behavior that the various characters have in the movies of the 70s.
Also because...who doesn‘t love Han & Lando?!?!

Star Wars shelves part 2 for Star Wars day.

😆

😂

This one took me awhile to read, I had it from the library, had to return it, waited for it to circle back for awhile, and finally bought it....but it was worth the wait. Han & Lando in another adventure to save their skins (and the galaxy), Leia and young Ben, Chewy and L3, and some great new characters that I look forward to seeing again. Can they save the galaxy from murderous robots? Can they save themselves? And is Lando falling in love?

😂💙

#TBRTuesday
Making some progress here with my overly ambitious reading plans!
Now to get back on track with my #StarWarsBuddyRead

Maybe try to catch up with some other Litsy readalongs, and of course read my new Library Book New Release before I go see the new movie later this month. 😉

This was fun! I mostly listened to see if my Star Wars devotee son would like it...other than it having what I believe he will judge to be way too much romance, I think he might. 😉 For me, it was worth the read for the painfully adorable baby Ben Solo moments alone. 😍😢 This is my first time reading Older, but hopefully not my last because I did enjoy his writing.

Han is my favorite, so naturally I loved this! Can‘t wait for the movie!

It's absolutely perfect outdoor reading weather right now.

The multiple timelines are a little confusing.

So much fun!!! Check out my spoiler free review here: https://youtu.be/2JJUNNuoWqY 🖤📚

Finally warm weather for reading on the patio!

Picked this up today while grabbing groceries! I might behind in reading all of them, but atleast I own them I guess. 😅

Quiet evening in the hotel room with some Star Wars adventuring.

So much fun!! Definitely one of my faves now!

😵😍

Incoherent screeching noises.

And yes I immediately flipped it to the Lando jacket.

I love Daniel Jose Older's Brooklyn-based urban fantasy series Bone Street Rumba. He tackles Star Wars in a new book being published 4/17. Gotta admit. Pretty excited.
