Queen's Shadow [part 3/4]

Welcome to our third of four check-in and discussion posts for our Book of the Month.

This month’s book is Queen's Shadow by E.K. Johnston
3/4 of the book seems to be right around the part where Chapter 22 begins. Spoilers up to that point in the post and comments below. I know this is going to vary as different versions are out there. I think my eBook might have some preview of another Star Wars book at the end which I hadn't really accounted for when we began (live and learn?).

All I ask is that you try to avoid spoilers for things past the first 3/4 of the book.

Welcome to our first official month of

swbookclub!!!

Thank you for joining and I hope this is a fun way to read some Star Wars material along with other fans.

As announced, our first Book of the Month is Queen's Shadow by E.K. Johnston

We'll have 4 read-along discussion posts spread through February starting next weekend. Each post will be about approximately 1/4 of the book - so beware if you get ahead/fall behind.

Feb. 6/7 first 1/4 of the book
Feb. 13/14 up to first half
Feb. 20/21 up to first 3/4
Feb. 27/28 the whole thing
This is a test of the format, we'll see what works best and adjust as needed in future months.

Also on the horizon is our first Comic which will be Star Wars: Darth Vader (Vol 1-4) by Kieron Gillen. We'll tackle one volume of the comic every 2-3 weeks. Expect our first discussion post to be in approximately 3 weeks from today. Thank you to

justanorthernlight,

pedanther &

orangerful for the input.

FYI - Once we get a rhythm down, I'll be soliciting input for future books/comics (just so you don't think I plan to always do the choosing).

Please feel free to invite your friends and promote the comm. And if you have ANY questions, please don't hesitate to ask!!
Happy reading!!
