Sunday Confessions #318

 

It’s that time again. Sunday Book Confessions, where I spill the bookish tea on what I’ve been reading, loving, and occasionally side eyeing this week. Some reads have swept me off my feet, others have made me question my life choices, and a few have left me wondering if I need a literary palate cleanser. From swoon worthy plots to head scratching twists, this week’s reading stack was anything but boring.

Well, this is awkward... I finished my TBR this week.




★★★★☆

The Truce at Bakura picks up right after the events of Return of the Jedi, and Kathy Tyers does a great job maintaining the momentum. The pacing is tight, the stakes feel real, and the character development, especially for Leia and Luke, adds emotional depth. One of my favorite touches was Anakin’s occasional appearances as a Force spirit, which added an unexpected layer of complexity and tension. While not a perfect entry, it’s a compelling and satisfying bridge between the films and the expanded universe.

And that wraps up another week of literary highs, lows, and everything in between. Whether you’re nodding along with my raves or shaking your head at my rants, I hope you found a new book to add to your TBR, or one to happily avoid. Until next Sunday, may your plot twists be satisfying, your characters unforgettable, and your reading time uninterrupted.
