FREE WEEKEND + feedback for structure

Next week we'll dive into Ahsoka by E.K. Johnston - details about that are here on July 2023 post


I've updated the community graphic and added some alt-text to the image on the community profile.

If you'd like to promote, please feel free! Here's some cut&paste stuff you can use if you'd like.



I'm interested in feedback as to the structure of our monthly books.
I'm considering a possible format change where we'd alternate each month with a selected book (as we do currently) and a month with a theme where we all read what we like from that theme and talk about what we've read. Themes would be something like Disney era, Legends, High Republic, movie novelization, book #2 of a series, etc.
I welcome input on this idea or any additional ideas participants would like to discuss.

For now, the FAQ post outlines our August & September books. Upcoming reads is our 'tbr' queue that we pull from once we moved away from polls. Suggestions have been low, but the randomizer does help ;p

I also welcome anyone who may want to take the reins in discussing comics. I did not keep up with that very well, but want to open this space up for those who may be interested.

Upcoming Reads

Since we have lower participation in our book suggestions and polls, I'm going to do something a bit different for book selection this year. Below is a list of books previously suggested in this community that we haven't yet read. Each month, I'll stick them in a randomizer and see which one comes up.

Tales from the Mos Eisley Cantina by various authors
The Paradise Snare (Star Wars: The Han Solo Trilogy #1) by A.C. Crispin
Triple Zero (Star Wars: Republic Commando #2) by Karen Traviss
Most Wanted by Rae Carson
From a Certain Point of View (#1) by various authors
Specter of the Past (The Hand of Thrawn Duology #1) by Timothy Zahn
Aftermath by Chuck Wendig
*Lost Stars by Claudia Gray
*Padawan by Kiersten White
The Fallen Star by Claudia Gray

Suggestions for upcoming reads are welcome.
For reference, this post will be linked from the FAQ - which lists the books we've already read.
