Back in 1998 I first read a book titledStar Wars, X-Wing: Wraith Squadron by a – new to me – author named Aaron Allston. Not only did I devour the book (figuratively), but I absolutely loved it & read it multiple times over my life. Little did I know that 6 years later I would meet the author himself at a convention (Stellarcon – and yes, that is a picture of us out our first meeting, and y...

Prime Suspects by Jim Bernheimer
Prime Suspects: A Clone Detective Mystery
by Jim Bernheimer (Goodreads Author)
read in May, 2013
I was pretty much hooked right from the get go on this book. It's got plenty of action, adventure, a murder mystery I didn't figure out until the lead character did, and romance that was perfectly done/sweet.

I really REALLY hope we get more stories...more

Brute by Robert Coram
This book was riveting from start to finish - though I'm sure a large part of that is I am a Marine & very interested in amphibious/ expeditionary warfare. Though the life of Brute Krulak was fascinating & I can see why this book is on the Co...more
Afghanistan by Stephen Tanner
Afghanistan
by Stephen Tanner
read in April, 2013
It took me about 6 months to read because it was so dry (loads of names, dates and whatnot), but despite that it was truly a fascinating book. The history of Afghanistan is very interesting and anyone in the military should read it, and anyone with a...more

Steamduck Learns to Fly!
by Emilie P Bush
read in April, 2013
I'm not really into steampunk, but I LOVE all things aviation (yes, I'm a pilot). This book is absolutely adorable, beautifully illustrated, and teaches great principles of flight.

Emma by Nancy Butler
Emma
by Nancy Butler
read in December, 2012
Emma has always been one of my least favorite of the Austen books (by saying least favorite that implies it still IS a favorite), so I was surprised by how much I loved the graphic novel.

But in hindsight I shouldn't be - Janet K. Lee's beautiful artw...more
Star Wars by Timothy Zahn
Star Wars: Scoundrels
by Timothy Zahn (Goodreads Author)
read in November, 2012
**NO SPOILERS**

This book was the most fun I've had reading a Star Wars novel since Aaron Allston's, "Star Wars, X-Wing: Mercy Kill."

In short, I LOVED IT!

Seriously so much fun and the ending BLEW MY MIND. In fact I feel the need to go back and reread...more
