Welcome, Don, Brandan & Sarah! Happy 2021 of Star Wars reading!

[Rebecca]

I'll just list mine as I read them.

[Zuzana, Jedi Apprentice]

Welcome to the thread, Rebecca and Hailey! Have a fun 2021 with loads of good SW books.

BTW, I finished my first 2021 SW read: Splinter of the Mind's Eye. It was an "interesting" experience. I didn't know that in 1977-78 Lucas planned a low-budget sequel to A New Hope in case the movie bombed at the box office. Alan Dean Foster was commissioned to pen that sequel and the book is the result. Let's just say that I'm grateful that we got The Empire stikes back instead. :D

If you're interested there's more on this book in our January Group Read thread here.

[TAMRA]

I’m not going to add my books to the yearly planned challenge for a while, being busy.
Update: Probably will not add until end of year 2021. Check the reading tracker for what I’ve read.

[TAMRA]

I was thinking about that. I could easily do it. What's two more books right? Game on! lol

Yes, "much reading have you to do!" Track your books in this thread, for sure. We'd love to see your progress and cheer you on. When you have time, if you are inclined, choose your level and tasks in the Reading Challenge thread, HERE.

[Zuzana, Jedi Apprentice]

Welcome, Brooke!

Don is right, with 18 books our SW Yearly challenge will be a piece of cake for you.

Welcome, JoAnn! Great list.
Lost Tribe of the Sith: The Collected Stories is one of the options for our April Group Read. You can vote for it here: https://www.goodreads.com/poll/list/1...
It's currently in second place.

[Zuzana, Jedi Apprentice]

I've already reached my goal of 20 SW books.

I need to re-arrange my list. When I started I didn't know that I'd be re-reading Jedi Apprentice and Jedi Quest series - they are shorter books (about 120-140 pages long).

I'll make a separate list for re-reads. That might work.

[Allyssa, Former Moderator/Group Founder]

Straight through. It’s like 200 pages, I think??? This list is actually not current as I’m busy.
