I'd like to read The Desperate Mission by Jude Watson (The Last of the Jedi Series - book #1) in January.



Anybody interested in joining me?

I might be interested in doing a buddy read of that one. I've never read that series by Jude Watson before. I think the library has ebooks of all of them. So I should be able to get a copy through either Libby or Hoopla without any problems. Also, how do you link books without it being the long html address?

Thank you! I'd been wondering how people get these links to look so nice!

That's great, Rebecca. I would like that. Have you read the Jedi Quest series by Jude Watson?
The Last of the Jedi Series is a continuation of that one.

Path To Truth by Jude Watson. That's the first Jedi Quest book.

No, but I should be able to figure stuff out. Also let me know when you get to books 14-16 of Jedi Apprentice. I know I already reread them this year, but that could be a fun buddy read. You might be able to make me think the romance isn't forced and there to excuse a deeper underlying issue that she never fully addresses. Namely, how Tahl's frustrations with other people and how they treat her because of what happened on Melida/Daan continues to impact her and those around her.

[Zuzana, Jedi Apprentice]

Or we can read the Jedi Quest first if you want. I don't mind.

[Rebecca]

Zuzana wrote: "Or we can read the Jedi Quest first if you want. I don't mind."

How important is it to read Jedi Quest first? Or is it one of those there are enough call backs to not be confusing? I think my library also has Jedi Quest.

[Zuzana, Jedi Apprentice]

The problem is that the main character of The Last of the Jedi is introduced & established in Jedi Quest. He has a whole arc there. I think you'd miss too much skipping Jedi Quest to really enjoy the series.

And yes, I'd love to buddy read that part of Jedi Apprentice with you. That will be fun.

[Rebecca]

Okay, I'll read Jedi Quest first. We can buddy read it if you'd like. I'd start in January. There is a pile of books I need to try and finish for this year before I start some new ones.

[Zuzana, Jedi Apprentice]

Okay, we can start with Path To Truth.

These books are really short and easy reads. We can start whenever you want. I'll set a buddy read thread for us.

Just show up there when you're ready to start. :D

Yeah, that would be cool. I would like to join you.

[Zuzana, Jedi Apprentice]

Hi, Ivan! Have you read the Jedi Quest series by Jude Watson? I think it's needed to fully enjoy the The Last of the Jedi Series.

If not, you can join me and Rebecca in reading Path To Truth. It's the first Jedi Quest book. We plan to start in January.

Are you interested?

Hi, Zuzana! Unfortunately, I didn't read The Last of the Jedi ( but I definitely will) so I would like to join you and Rebecca if possible.

[Zuzana, Jedi Apprentice]

We have a buddy read thread set up here.
We're going to read the Jedi Quest series and after that if we're not burnt out we might continue on to The Last of the Jedi.

You're welcome to join us at any time, Ivan. :)

[Zuzana, Jedi Apprentice]

Hi, anybody interested in reading The Clone Wars by Karen Traviss?



That's the last Legends movie novelization I haven't read. The movie is not very good but it means that the book can only improve on it. :)

[Zuzana, Jedi Apprentice]

Great! Thank you, Hailey. When can you start?

[Zuzana, Jedi Apprentice]

I can start reading right away. :D I'll set up a thread for us.

[Rebecca]

Can I join in? I'll start reading it tomorrow.

[Zuzana, Jedi Apprentice]

Rebecca wrote: "Can I join in? I'll start reading it tomorrow."

Of course. :)

[Zuzana, Jedi Apprentice]

I'd love to join you, Hailey. I have the book in audio from audiobooks.com.

[Zuzana, Jedi Apprentice]

On April 1st the new Legends GR will start. BTW Have you nominated a book?
Maybe if I can suggest a date for the buddy read - either March 8th or if you're set on April then April 8th. A lot of people read faster than the group read schedule and will be done by 8th and ready to start a new book. :)

[Zuzana, Jedi Apprentice]

We're debating with Akindle whether to do Canon Group reads. It looks like April slot is not taken yet. I can push for Master and Apprentice for a Canon Group Read starting April 15th. Would you be interested in that?

[Zuzana, Jedi Apprentice]

O.K. I'll talk to Akindle and make M&A the April Canon GR.

In the meantime don't you have another SW book you'd like to buddy read?

[Zuzana, Jedi Apprentice]

We definitely can. I'm curious about this one, too. It's about Obi-Wan and Bail Organa. So March, 8th?

[Zuzana, Jedi Apprentice]

Me too. :) I'll set up the BR thread.

Peter, I'm sorry nobody responded to your request. I don't have the book and I am sadly not interested in buying it. Otherwise I would have buddy read it with you.

[Zuzana, Jedi Apprentice]

Anybody interested in reading Prequel novelizations with me?

The Phantom Menace by Terry Brooks
Attack of the Clones by R.A. Salvatore
Revenge of the Sith by Matthew Woodring Stover

I've read them once before and I am ready to re-read them.

[Rebecca]

I want to, but I'm behind on so many books right now.

[Zuzana, Jedi Apprentice]

The same. I'm trying to finish several books at once. So no rush. I'll probably get to the novelizations no sooner than at the end of the summer.

[Zuzana, Jedi Apprentice]

That's great, Hailey. Thank you.
I will probably get to them sometime in August.

[Rebecca]

Well, if its August then count me in!

[Zuzana, Jedi Apprentice]

Great, Rebecca!

BTW I'd rather read the books than re-watch the movies. :p

[Luna]

Does anyone want to buddy read The Phantom Menance?

[Rebecca]

Luna, think a buddy read for that one already started. Zuzana, Can people join in once a buddy read has already started?

[Zuzana, Jedi Apprentice]

Yes, feel free to join us, Luna.

[Luna]

^ thank you!

[T ✩ Handmaiden Of Amidala]

Anyone want to BR Labyrinth Of Evil? (Disclaimer: I'm reading a lot of books at the moment so I wouldn't be able to begin just yet, but I could arrange a start date.)

[Zuzana, Jedi Apprentice]

Tarria, I can put Labyrinth of Evil as one of the options next time we have a Legends Group read poll.

[T ✩ Handmaiden Of Amidala]

Okay thanks!

[Rebecca]

I just started reading the new Obi-wan novel called Padawan, and I was wondering if anyone wanted to buddy read it. Discussion might make me like it slightly, or just confirm the sinking feeling I have at 54 pages in.

[Zuzana, Jedi Apprentice]

Am I going to hate it, Rebecca?

;-)

[Rebecca]

Possibly.

[Rebecca]

Qui-gon is even less communicative and more distant than in JA and without a logical explanation for why.

[T ✩ Handmaiden Of Amidala]

@Rebecca I'm reading it already but I'm only 10% in I'd happily read it with you

[Zuzana, Jedi Apprentice]

I want to read it even if I'm likely to be disappointed with the changes Disney is making to the story.

You're right that I hated when Qui-Gon was uncommunicative (aka not a good mentor) in JA.

My main trepidation is that because of Master and Apprentice coming after Padawan in the timeline we kinda know beforehand that Obi-Wan & Qui-Gon's relationship isn't going to fully mend (unless they're breaking their own continuity). They are out of step in M&A and we know that's how they've been since the beginning.
