February - Theme - New Release (published in the 20's)

[colls]

This month will be a themed month. The idea is to read any Star Wars book you'd like that can be applied to the theme. The material can be anything - adult, YA, comics, even story-centric games.

1. What book are you planning to read this month?

I'm going to read one of the books from the Humble Bundle I picked up a while ago - I'm thinking maybe Race To Crashpoint Tower by Daniel José Older.

Oh! That sounds like it'd be a fun tie-in for all the High Republic stuff.

I saw 'Queen's Peril' as an audiobook on my library app, so I'm going to try that. I miss Star Wars audiobooks (hard to do for me in this comm because of the weekly cadence thing).

Also, did you notice that I removed the next-up book from the sticky post? It was Aftermath by Chuck Wendig, but I need to go on a hiatus from modding for a bit.

I'm still confuzzled about the reading order for all the different High Republic stories across the various media types, but I think Race to Crashpoint Tower is the earliest of the novels from that period that I've got and haven't read yet...

Is Queen's Peril the sequel to the Padme novel we read in the club a year or two ago?

I hadn't noticed that you'd removed the next book from the post yet, but I'm a couple of weeks away from when I'd normally be checking to see what I needed to buy ;) I hope things are ok at your end? I'm aware I should be working on stuff for VidUKon -including trying to make a vid - but the last few months have been hard going, and I never seem to have enough time for everything.

You are not alone! I have to consult the internet and different sites disagree.

Yes, 'Queen's Peril' is book 2 in that series (we read book 1 as the first book in the community). Ironically, it looks like it's a prequel.

I never seem to have enough time for everything,
I feel the same and this is all that's going on with me. I'm feeling compressed and am struggling with keeping up here. And when I can't keep up it begins to feel like an obligation, and then it's not as fun. Hopefully, a break will help.

I haven't even thought about what to vid for VidUkon yet. Maybe... Star Wars? ;p
