My mom got me a volume of the Yokai watch manga for my birthday.

I didn't know this was released in english. It was a pretty funny read.

Finished reading Star Wars: Shatterpoint and it's pretty good for the most part though out of the all of the Matthew Stover-penned SW novels I read so far, I personally find the film novelization of Revenge of the Sith and Luke Skywalker and the Shadows of Mindor to be better and after a couple of years ago since I read the first two Thrawn Trilogy novels, which are among the first old EU Star Wars books I've read along with the Clone Wars Gambit duology, I've finally started reading the third and final book of said trilogy, The Last Command, on which I'm already up to its fourth chapter.

Recently finished Star Wars: The Last Command. It's been couple of years since I have the first two books of it but I've finally completed The Thrawn Trilogy and it's easily some of the best SW novels I ever read and among my personal favorites. To me, they are basically what the sequel trilogy should've been. Whether you're an EU veteran or a newcomer, The Thrawn Trilogy is highly recommended to any and all Star Wars fans. Speaking of Thrawn in general, since the sequel novel to last year's, well, Thrawn is making its release this July which will be titled, Thrawn: Alliances, I figured that before temporarily jump back into reading the Disney canon SW novels for that, I'll be doing something of a reading marathon of the rest of the old EU Star Wars novels that are written by their author, Timothy Zahn starting off with Allegiance.

Welp, like I said I was going to, picked up Thrawn and the first Republic Commando book the other day. But before I get to either of those, remembered I had picked up Ahsoka a while back and never gotten to it so am reading that now. It's the first young adult Star Wars book I'm reading and... it's not bad. I like reading more about her, especially during this time period after Episode III. But with how quick of a read it's been so far, you can easily tell it's meant for a younger audience.

Finished Star Wars: Allegiance about fours days ago, which incidentally happens on my birthday but I digress, and it is pretty solid and enjoyable especially the fair amount of spotlight that is given to a small group of Storm Troopers and the writing on Luke, Han, and Leia in their appearances in the novel under Zahn's penmanship is is just as good as always. Up next, it's the sequel to Allegiance, Choices of One.

Just finished Star Wars: Scoundrels today and I am now halfway through the Timothy Zahn-penned Old EU SW novels. Time to get back to reading Choices of One.

Isekai wa Smartphone to Tomo Ni. Up to book 5, Touya is the man.

So recently I’ve been binging all the current Marvel X-books, so far they’re pretty good! All-New Wolverine is definitely my favorite solo book and I am salty as hell Laura is losing the name.
Team wise X-men Blue has been great, with Weapon X being a close second. Now that the Venomized event is over I reaaaaally hope the O5 can go back to the Blue book.

Taking a break from reading Middle-Earth: From Script To Screen: Building The Worlds of The Lord of the Rings & The Hobbit for a while and starting off on Star Wars: Thrawn: Alliances which just came out recently. I hope the novel would at least be on par with the Thrawn novel that was published last year.

Reading through Ultra Heaven right now. Amazing manga so far and I love every bit of it. The premise and themes are very relevant to our current social conflicts about drugs and drug use for the last 30+ years now. Everyone should read this masterpiece when they get the chance.

H end reading the Meg book series and I am currently on Meg Primal water good book series focusing on the megalodon I will say film of sam name does not do the book justice

I managed to finish Star Wars: Death Troopers today and it is a nice little stand-alone SW novel that just happens to involve zombies.

I just started reading The Hellbound Heart today. It's a horror novella that ultimately formed the basis for the first Hellraiser movie and the its franchise overall.

I finally finished reading Star Wars: Outbound Flight today. Now, I'm trying to decide which original EU SW novel I should read next. The choices are Dark Lord: The Rise of Darth Vader, Kenobi, or Han Solo Trilogy: The Paradise Snare.

Finished reading Star Wars: Dark Lord: The Rise of Darth Vader sometime ago and it is, at this point and time, my third favorite James Luceno-penned SW novel of the original EU behind Labyrinth of Evil and Darth Plagueis. I'm currently reading Star Wars: Kenobi now and it is pretty good so far.

Finished Star Wars: Kenobi just yesterday and I really loved it. It's now among my top favorite EU SW novels alongside The Thrawn Trilogy, Darth Plagueis, Revenge of the Sith film novelization, Labyrinth of Evil, Luke Skywalker and the Shadows of Mindor, Dark Lord: The Rise of Darth Vader and a few others. I am planning to read the first book of the Han Solo Trilogy next called The Paradise Snare.

I finished reading Star Wars: Jedi Quest books 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7. As of now, I'm taking a little break from this particular SW book series for now and start on Star Wars Epic Collection: The Original Marvel Years Volume 1 and once all of the current (so far) released volumes of Marvel's original run of SW comics are done, I'm heading back to the Jedi Quest series to finish them up and then re-read Star Wars: Legacy of the Jedi and Star Wars: Secrets of the Jedi and then start on the third and final book of the Coruscant Nights trilogy which in turn also reminds me to read the MedStar duology at some point as well as reading the young Boba Fett series, The Last of the Jedi series, and even The Last Jedi novel that serves as a followup to the events of the Coruscant Nights trilogy. Also, I'm considering to start reading The Vampire Chronicles series by Anne Rice or even Dune by Frank Herbert sometime afterwards.

Dang! That is some Star Wars reading you've got ahead of you!

Curious what you'll think of those original Marvel comics. They are, like, not quite Star Wars. It was a very loose era of licensed comics, and some of the people working on those books were not super clear on what Star Wars was doing.

The newer Marvel stuff is aces, though. Jason Aaron nails the voices of the characters (his Threepio is spot-on), and Kieron Gillen does a great job bringing a darker, grittier edge to the classic heroes. Hope you dig 'em!

I'm finishing up on Star Wars: Coruscant Nights III: Patterns of Force. After that, I'm honestly taking a bit of a break from Star Wars novel reading for awhile and start reading Dune by Frank Herbert and possibly Interview With The Vampire by Anne Rice as well.

I started reading Dune by Frank Herbert today. It's pretty interesting so far and I'm already up to page 76.

I'm finally starting Jonathan Hickman's X-Men run.

Ooooh, you'll have to post your thoughts! I really love it, but it's a pretty huge change for the franchise.

Finished reading Dune yesterday. It does make feel like wanting to read Dune Messiah and Children of Dune somewhere down the line. But for now, I am currently reading Interview With The Vampire and I am planning to read The Vampire Lestat and Queen Of The Damned sometime after that.

Dude how does Moira's power works? At first I thought she was reborn throughout decades but it seems like she's reborn in an alternate timelines/universes.

My understanding (and it's been a few months since I read it) is that she's the powerful mutant who ever existed. When she dies, she restarts the universe at the moment of her birth (or conception). She can only do it a set amount of times (with some narrative wiggle-room), and she's currently on her last life in the ongoing X-Men series.

Ahhh so that's why when she's revived it's a bit like a groundhog day kind of reset. I'm still reading through House/Power of X trade.

Yeah, everything resets, except her memories. She remembers all of the lives she's lived and all of the knowledge she gained. Each new life becomes a different experiment, a different attempt to create a positive outcome. It... it is not easy!

I remember when the second issue of House of X came out. (I run a comics shop in Chicago, I don't know if I mentioned that.) People were pretty excited for HoX/PoX, but no one really knew what the story was supposed to be yet. When that Moira X issue came out, it was seismic. The scope of the story was so far beyond what anyone expected, and it lit a fuse on X-Men fans. No one sat on the sidelines after that issue came out. Everyone needed to know what happened next.

Man I really want to experience a comic book store someday.

Me too! We've been shut down to walk-in traffic since the middle of March, and we aren't expecting to be able to reopen to customers until June at the earliest. All of our business is online right now, and it's just not the same. The opportunity to chat with folks about what they're reading and enjoying, make recommendations... I miss it!

Superior Foes of Spider-Man. THIS NEEDS TO BE A TV SHOW. Seriously this has potential to be a TV-14 or TV-MA comedy on Disney+ and I crack up every time I read it. :lolol

It's an incredibly funny series. If you dug that, I'd recommend Nick Spencer's current run on Amazing Spider-Man (featuring Boomerang!), and/or Nick Spencer and Steve Lieber's very funny and very vulgar crime series The Fix.

Old man Silvermane was the highlight of the books as well as Boomerang's incompetence. :lolol
Thanks for the recommendation. :rock:

You bet!

(Also, the highlight for me was that there were only ever five members for the Sinister Six. But everything in it is great!)

I finally finished reading Interview With The Vampire a few days ago and just started reading Dune Messiah.
