Reading Wednesday - Star Wars, Dragons & YA
I'm going to attempt some structured weekly/bi-weekly topics to keep me posting. Reading Wednesday which I've seen several people do, Fan Rec Friday where I'll rec my latest favorite fanworks, Weekend Watch for all the TV/movies I'm watching and maybe Monday randomly for writing/other projects I'm working on.
Finished Reading:
Master & Apprentice (Star Wars) by Claudia Gray
The Phantom Menace was my first in theater Star Wars and I retain a lot of feelings over Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon and their fraught Master/Padawan relationship.
( cut for spoilers )
Within the Sanctuary of Wings by Marie Brennan
This was the fifth and last book of the Lady Trent series which is a faux memoir of a badass lady dragon naturalist. I enjoyed it but I don't really have a lot to say about it.
Now Reading:
From the Mixed-up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler by E. L. Konigsburg
This is one of those acclaimed YA books that I missed when I was YA but I've heard people talk about so figured I'd catch up with it now. Less than 200 pages so should be a quick read.
The Horus Killings by Paul Doherty
The second of several Egyptian crime solving mysteries in this series. I love ancient Egypt and I love crime solving so this was pretty much made for me. I've read them all and this is a re-read. I think I remember the killer but I'll re-read mysteries where I know the ending all the time. Amerotke is an enjoyable main character.
Up Next:
Several possibilities on the hold list and my Kindle. I'm thinking The Bear and the Nightingale by Katherine Arden.
