I am Currently reading the first of the Jedi Academy trilogy "Jedi Search" and then next the new "Maul Lockdown", which has had some good reviews so far
waiting for Honor among thieves. I think that's pretty much gonna be the last one (shakespear star wars aside) for a while until Disney and Del Rey figure something out. Disney is also taking the comics back from Dark Horse. I really hope they don't screw those up.
I finished Honor Among Thieves a few days ago! My review. That was my first SW book in quite a while. I'm currently waiting for the Darth Bane trilogy to get here, those books weren't out yet when I stopped reading SW for a bit.
Am currently reading Maul Lockdown. Also just read the Book of the Sith and a Jedi Path. Have several more I have waiting on the shelf. Just started reading the books in the EU.
The next time I pick up a Star Wars book it will be by Aaron Allston. After his death I really need to read his books.

That book takes jedi badassery to a whole new level.

Currently reading Isaac Asimov's The Gods Themselves for pleasure. Started reading Hamlet at school.
Currently, I'm reading "Han Solo and the Lost Legacy", 3rd book by Brian Daley. I've really enjoyed these books so far, they are some of my favorite EU books of the 50 or so that I've read. I've been interspersing readings of these at appropriate break points in "Rebel Dawn" -- which I plan to finish up shortly after "Lost Legacy".
I'm not reading any SW books right now. I'm trying to read A Storm of Swords by GRRM. But school is also ending and I have three more days (2 more classes in 28 minutes) and then I'll be going home. I'll be working all summer and saving up for Europe/some Disney trip in the future but hopefully I'll have free time to read both ASOIAF and SW books. Because Lord knows I have enough.
Well I have just finished reading the Halo the Thursday war, but thought it was awful could not get in to it at all, managed to finish but was let down
I just finished NJO: Force HereticI started NJO: The Final Prophecy and so far, 66 pages in, a much better book than Force Heretic.
Just finished reading 'Dawn of the Jedi' - Into The Void. Really enjoyed it. Although it was a little predictable and lacked a twist, it explains a lot about the early 'Je'Daii'. My advice would be to read them comic series 'Dawn of the Jedi' first though. Which are set around the same time but goes a long way into explaining many important background facts that are important lore wise, that Tim Lebbon does not explain in his book.
After finishing The New Jedi Order I am taking a small break from Star Wars. I am going to read a couple of Warhammer 40K Horus Heresy novels. Starting with:A Thousand Sons by Graham McNeil and I will follow it with Prospero Burns by Dan Abnett.
If the new Star Wars book is out when I finish those I will start it at that time.
I'm use to read the SW EU in chronological ERA order and I was stuck waiting for my bookstore to order me the book call Shatterpoint.By the mean time I did start read A new Dawn and to be honest I was feeling lost reading it :(
Finally Shatterpoint just arrived yesterday and I now read it putting the new dawn on a long long pause I guess...

I agree, I liked A New Dawn. It's my first Miller, but I liked how he handled it. My favorite part is that it really highlights that the Rebel Alliance is more than just Leia. Long before she came along, it was all about agents working in the background to oppose the Empire.
I actually finished Tarkin yesterday, the next upcoming Star Wars book. Top notch. Luceno's one of my favorite SW authors, and Tarkin was a pretty good example of why.
