I just finished Darth Mual: Shadow Hunter. (Before that was Darth Plaguies, Clone Wars Novelization, etc.) Shadow hunter was one of the best Star Wars books I've read. In fact; one of the best book I've read in my entire life :) I plan to read Wild Space next.
just started ascension in the fate of the jedi series. they really amped up the action. in this book. sith are getting thier asses kicked right off the bat. loving it.

I recently finished Shadow Games, and when I'm done reading the book I'm reading right now (Dune) I'm going to start Death Troopers.
Also recently finished shadow games, thought it was ok (Dash Rendar). And next will be vision of the future by Timothy Zahn.
I am currently reading Darth Plaguies but I'm having a hard time getting into it. I'm going to sit down and get it done this weekend.
Currently reading Patterns of Force - find it interesting in that it shows how different Jedi feel/see the Force, and elaborates on characters seen in Battle Surgeons - a solid duology...I wlll read Revan and Darth Plageuis once they come out in paperback. I am up to Rebel Dream in the NJO series - trying to finish last 8 books by Summer's end so I can finally starts the 3 other series the follow...there are so many books in the Yuuzhan Vong series that simply do very little to expand upon the series, it's frustrating - only the first book got a 4 star rating for me - the rest are all 1 or 2 stars thus far.
Just finished Force Unleashed. I didn't really care for it. I haven't played the game so I'm not sure how much it relates. The biggest thing for me is I didn't like how they tied in the rebellion. I don't want to give anything away but the connections to the rebellion in the book didn't feel appropriate. I'm also curious about how the second book will be considering the ending of this one. Probably be awhile till I get to it, I have a bunch of library books I need to finish soon.
I finished Star Wars: Cloak of Deception. It was alright book. The good part of it to me seeing Qui Gon's personality a little bit more and how everything is starting to bet set-up. In week or so I will go for Order 66
Just finished Darth Plagueis. Was pretty good, but not fantastic I thought. More interesting than exciting.
Just started the essential reader's companion. I haven't read a lot of the old republic novels so I'm skipping the synopsis of those books.I'm also reading Mercy Kill but can't get into too well. Guess I was never a huge Wraith sq fan.
I am pretty excited that my library had the unabridged copies of the entire Thrawn trilogy on audio book. I can't stand abridged copies and it's nice to have these on audio. I think they will be the next ones I listen to during my drives to work.
I'm reading Crosscurrent. I like Legacy Era, but without having played Jedi Academy, I feel like I don't know the character.
Well I get the one universe thing, and I like tie-ins, I just wish they would introduce a character in a novel like I, Jedi or Knight Errant, use it wherever else, then have it available for use in novels later. Then the readers would already have a baseline for understanding the character, one way or the other.
Just finished reading X-Wing Mercy Kill. I had a bit of trouble with it at first because a lot of the characters were not the original Wraiths. Some of the characters names seemed familiar but I'm not sure what other novels they were part of. The story felt a bit slow at the beginning but the last 100 pages or so were fast-paced and much better. A couple parts of the book even had me laughing out loud. A decent book but I was never a huge Wraith Sq fan to begin with, preferring Rogue squadron.
I am reading through New Jedi order. I have made it up to Star by Star. I have begun rereading with Vector Prime.
I'm trying to get through Star Wars: Tales from the Mos Eisley Cantina but I am struggling to stay interested. It's the first of the Tales books that I've read and I'm going to try and tackle the others as well. Just maybe not anytime soon.
For the life of me I've been trying to get through Choice of One. It's a tough one for me just not feeling it.
Hey All. New to the group. I have read most if not all of the post ROTJ novels. Currently not reading much any star wars (just finished Darth Plagueis for the Second time) but looking forward to scoundrels and then some of the clone wars books I have missed.
At the moment I'm reading Specter of the Past. I have Scoundrels on hold at the library, so excited!
