Resistance Reborn Book Review

Resistance Reborn is a Journey to The Rise of Skywalker novel written by Rebecca Roanhorse. It takes place between episodes 8 and 9 and shows us some of how the Resistance is able to start rebuilding after the defeat on Crait and when dealing with the loss of Luke Skywalker. 

I primarily read this book via audiobook mostly due to time but it, like many of the other Star Wars audiobook versions, was a great way to read it! 

Now, for the content. A definitely highlight for me, after having just read the Aftermath Trilogy previously, was seeing Wedge Antilles and Norra Wexley again and getting some more content to Snap Wexley as an adult. I think, despite the fact that we get a great look at Leia that we definitely missed since she passed before TROS could be filmed, I definitely think seeing some lesser screen time characters that I grew to like made this book more enjoyable. 

We see our characters all over the place in this novel. From Corellia, Akiva, Ryloth, and Bracca, we get all kinds of fan favorite plants thrown into the mix as our characters are fighting to bring back the Resistance to what it was before The Last Jedi. But throughout all of the traveling around, trying to make something out of what they were left with, we see Poe Dameron, struggling with his previous decisions, Leia, still recovering from what happened in TLJ while trying to keep everything together, and so on with the rest of our main characters. This book was a great attempt to hash out some of those issues that we saw with TLJ and give some more back story and reasoning behind decisions made but it’s definitely that, trying to help along something that was flawed to begin with. 

I loved Roanhorse’s writing style and hope to see many more Star Wars books from her in the future but it did take me awhile to get into it. The stakes of the list of former Rebel leaders and ex-Imperials adds stakes to Leia’s cause, her need for allies, and gives Finn and Poe a great mission. Wedge, Snap, Norra, Kare, among other recruits go on their own mission to rescue a high-profile prisoner. Zay, Shriv, and other pilots go to Bracca (which we have seen now in Jedi: Fallen Order and in The Bad Batch) to go recover some ships before they are destroyed, while Rey, Leia, and rose are on Ryloth, trying to keep everything together. While all of this is going on, it is very heavy in the beginning on setting up what is to come in the last half of the book and, while that’s great, sometimes you just need some more in Star Wars. All of the missions set up do come to a positive conclusion at the end and work out for the Resistance and serve as a great set up for TROS. However, that doesn’t stop me from wanting to reread this book soon!

Overall I give Resistance Reborn  ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

“The Force is all around us,” and How it Connects Even Non-Force Wielders to Black Spire Outpost

Star Wars: Black Spire is written by Star Wars alumni, Delilah S. Dawson. This novel is a direct follow up to Dawson’s Phasma that released in 2017. The timeframe of both of these novels spans just before The Force Awakens and just between The Last Jedi and The Rise of Skywalker. 

Now, for Black Spire, why is this book important and why is it important to me? Let’s just say, despite it being more Star Wars, this book was a direct tie-in to a certain little thing called Galaxy’s Edge at both of Disney’s U.S. parks! If you don’t know me then you might not know that I am royally Disney obsessed. I’ve only been to Walt Disney World once (we’re out on the east coast so definitely closer), however, my love for Disney has spanned my entire lifetime. So, when Disney announced that they were going to make a Star Wars themed park, I knew it was going to be amazing.  We have not visited yet but I’m hoping to talk my husband into a visit soon, if anything just for Galaxy’s Edge. They decided to tie-in, not only the movies, but other Star Wars mediums, including both comics and books, this one being one of the main ones. If you don’t know, you can find Resistance Spy, and pivotal character to both Phasma and Black Spire, Vi Moradi roaming around the outpost, hiding from the First Order. So, not only is the book important to Star Wars on it’s own, but it is a direct lead-in to the theme park! 

The story starts after Phasma has ended, picking up with Cardinal, now going by his real name of Archex, being assigned to follow Vi to a planet on the edge of the known galaxy, Batuu, and setting up a resistance base. Vi is still recovering from the torture he put her through, both physically and mentally, and he’s recovering from getting away from the First Order brainwashing as well as the beat up state Phasma left him in with her poison. Both characters have a long way to go to heal but, it is nice to see them together again.

Once they get to Batuu, we see our protagonists go through several adventures, including, but not limited to, a crash, thugs, and loss of everything they brought with them. The plot that drives the book is Vi and Archex trying to gain back the supplies they brought from gangster Oga who runs the cantina (which exists in the park) and seemingly runs Black Spire Outpost, and for them to recruit to their cause to build up the Resistance on Batuu. Not only this, but we get to see Vi meeting characters who appear in the park or we see their influence in their shops, all appearing exactly where it does in real life. 

One of the more memorable characters, though we do not see them hardly at all in the book, is Savi and his workers. They shift through things and find items of importance, which we learn are mostly Jedi artifacts. This discovery, and devotion of Savi and his workers, show that the Force is still known by those who might not have force powers, but know how it works and it’s pull on everything. Something we, as readers and fans, must remember is that, though we have a lack of Jedi, there are those who carry their memory as well as knowledge of the Force and pass it on to others. We see Ylena, a worker of Savi’s, encourage Vi by telling her that the Force was actually with her and was pulling together basically everything that she would need, especially when Vi keeps coming up with valuable “scrap” to give to Savi, which gets them the funds they need to buy back their gear. The Force shows Ylena the type of person Vi is, Archex is, and how she was going to be successful, because the Force would make it so. This talk is a lot like the Temple guardian, Chirrut Imwe, and how he interacts with the Force in Rogue One and how the Force can be with you.

Not only is the Force important in Black Spire, but so is the storyline of the bad-guy-turned-good in Archex. He must battle what is surely depression in losing what feels like his meaning as well as physically not being able to do what he used to, and come to terms with his new life. Though he does not seem to regret defecting to the Resistance, you can tell that someone so used to order and strict hierarchy is having difficulty adjusting to being below Vi, who is not the strictest of leaders. Archex finds some purpose in helping those who join their cause throughout the book but, without spoiling it, Archex has my favorite, and most heart-breaking, story arc and is one to follow as you read through.  

Basically, if you’re a Star Wars fan, a Disney park’s fan, or overall a fan of a good underdog story, you need to read Black Spire. It hits so many good notes in storytelling and gives us robust characters. Overall, I give Black Spire 4 out of 5 stars.

The Rise of Kylo Ren or the Rise of Snoke? My Review of The Rise of Kylo Ren Issue 1

With The Rise of Kylo Ren, we finally get some more back story behind the tale that Luke Skywalker and Ben Solo told in Force Awakens and how Ben Solo became Kylo Ren.

This will contain spoilers (to both the comic and The Rise of Skywalker) so if you haven’t read the comic yet and don’t want it spoiled, you may want to stop here.

The comic was written by Charles Soule with Will Sliney doing the art of the comic. Soule, known primarily for his Marvel Comics runs, has done several different Star Wars series’ such as Star Wars: Lando, Poe Dameron, Darth Vador – Dark Lord of the Sith, among other Star Wars comics. For Sliney, he has done a ton of different Spider-Man comics, other Marvel comics, and now Kylo Ren, but he has worked on the Star Wars: The Clone Wars com as well as Solo comics as well. This was a great team up of these two so far. The art is engaging and Sliney’s capture of Ben’s emotions on his face and with his body positions really brings you more into Ben’s story as well as Soule’s story, which we’re about to talk about.

Now, why am I reviewing comics? I recently, as I have said in previous blog posts, have gotten into the Star Wars comics. As someone who loves the Star Wars universe, I realized I was missing out on so many great stories written by some amazing authors, just because they were in comic form. As you know, I’m a huge Star Wars fan and, though I’m primarily a book reviewer, getting to change it up sometimes and look at the visual representations of the comics is great. If you’re even remotely a visual person, I cannot recommend the comics as additional reading enough. 

The brief overview for this comic story-arc, as we’ll see in additional issues later on, is to follow and show us how Ben Solo became Kylo Ren and came to work with (former) Supreme Leader Snoke.  This is a timeline in the Star Wars Universe that we have yet to explore in this comic. We may have seen from other character’s points-of-view in their own comics but this is the first time we get any glimpses into the Knights of Ren as well as Ben Solo before The Force Awakens.

The comic starts with a time period that we are unsure of, just “Long Ago” as the disclaimer, as we see the Knights of Ren and their leader, Ren, trying to recruit a force-sensitive young man during what appears to be a battle on an ice world. We are unsure of where they are but we can definitely see they not only want force sensitive people but they want those who already have a tendency for the dark side. They end up with no one knew as the young man they are recruiting is there with his brother and the brother without force capabilities kills the other brother thinking this is his way out but, without the powers, they are uninterested in him. 

Then we jump to right after the Jedi Temple of Luke Skywalker catches on fire/is destroyed by (what we perceive to be) Ben Solo after his Uncle, Luke, simultaneously thinks he needs to stop/kill his nephew, and then also realizes what a horrible decision that would be, but he does so too late, while standing over his sleeping nephew who wakes up at the wrong time. The rest of the comic not only shows what happens directly after but we do see a flash back to just before the comic to what Ben was thinking and seeing the influence of Snoke over his decisions. We follow, not only Ben on his quest to leave but we also see his interactions with former Jedi Padawans of Luke who are trying to stop him/trying to figure out what has happened to the temple and why Luke would try to kill Ben. They realize that these actions don’t sound like the Luke they know as their master and try to piece it all together while trying to figure out where Ben is going, after Ben leaves finally after a brief altercation between the three padawans (Hennix, a male Quarren from Mon Cala, Tai, a male Padawan, and Voe, a female Palawan) and Ben when they try to stop him.

This whole comic leads to Ben going to Snoke, before he is Supreme Leader and before how we see him in The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi. This interaction is pivotal in understanding how a child of Princess/Senator Leia Organa Solo and her husband, Han Solo, could turn to the dark side and follow someone we see as evil as Snoke.

Now, it being after The Rise of Skywalker that came out this past December, we know who was controlling Snoke/who made him, but the main point I want to talk about is how sympathetic Snoke is and the kind of influence he may have had, not only over Ben but also Luke Skywalker. You see, from further in the comic we learn that Luke and Snoke have faced off before, leading to Snoke’s broken/hurt appearance. I’m hopeful that later on in the comic series we will see where this goes as far as how this interaction happened but, for now, we just know that it did. However, in little bubbles that appear occasionally during Ben’s story and focal point, we see that Snoke has influenced him, is “talking” to him through the Force. Honestly, someone else may have talked about this angle before but I wanted to touch on how, even though Luke may have not known it, but Snoke’s influence may have even touched Luke and made Luke doubt and think what he did when it came to “killing” or even the possibility of it, his nephew. 

For what we know of Luke throughout the Original Trilogy we know him to be strong with the Force and was able to withstand his father, Darth Vader and his pull to the dark side. However, we really haven’t seen Darth Sidious (or Emperor Palpatine) try to influence Luke through the force. We do know, or assume, that Palpatine remained a much stronger Sith than Vader so who’s to say that Luke’s very doubt that causes the dissension between himself and his own nephew, wasn’t just Luke being pulled to the dark side through Palpatine. Obviously, I didn’t mention earlier but Palpatine basically was Snoke, or at least influenced him and created him. I warned you there would be spoilers. We see Snoke very specifically saying to Ben that Luke “feared” him, and what do we know about fear, Master Yoda? “Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.” This fear is obviously the influence of the dark side and if Snoke/Palpatine can influence and talk through the force to Ben Solo, and eventually connect to Rey, why can’t he have some Force pull on Luke Skywalker, causing Luke’s fear to reign supreme and eventually lead him toward seclusion? Snoke wants, no needs, Ben Solo. He’s the sole heir to the Skywalker family, strong in the Force, and what better of a win for Palpatine than to finally get a descendant of Vader, a Skywalker, on his side yet again. Though, we didn’t know Palpatine was the puppeteer, knowing what we know now, it truly makes sense that he would try to stick it to Luke yet again by stealing away, not only his prized pupil, but his own family.

Now, we still have three more issues of this comic line to review after this one, so I’m excited to see where it goes. We do already know the end-game of this series and where Ben ends up but seeing how he got there, how this vulnerable young man becomes the hot-headed bad guy that we come to know in the first two-and-a-half sequel trilogy movies is the fun of this comic. I haven’t mentioned before but, similar to my eventual love of Professor Snape in Harry Potter once you finally read The Deathly Hallows and see where his character has stood all along, I fell in love with Ben Solo from the moment we see him speak to his father in his own head halfway through The Rise of Skywalker and then see him run exactly like his father, holding a blaster, like he did in A New Hope. I can’t wait to see how much more character development he has, and get so many of my questions answered about Snoke as well as his potential influence over Luke Skywalker and the Force.

Just Mercy Book Review

Since the movie is out, I wanted to post about this book that I read back in 2019 that was probably one of the best non-fiction books I have read in awhile.

Just Mercy by Bryan Stevenson is a book that will change your perspective on the justice system of the time the book is written in and on the justice system in the Deep South. It is such a powerful story that had me crying frequently. 

Photo taken by Bookish and Bliss

It’s the real story of Bryan Stevenson, a lawyer reaching out to help those who need help the most, those who were on death row, some of which were there wrongfully. Stevenson meets Walter McMillian, an African-American man convicted of a murder he did not commit, of a white woman named Ronda Morrison. The entire case relies solely on the testimony of one man, Ralph Myers, who can’t seem to keep his stories straight but testifies in order to get a lighter sentence in his own felony trial.

Stevenson contacts other lawyers for help, with no luck. He then asks friends of Walter’s for help in testifying, only to constantly hit road blocks put up by the local police as well as other judges, etc. He is constantly battling those who wish to keep Walter imprisoned.

Now, I could continue in this review and spoil it (though his story is real and has been out there for quite some time), I won’t because if you’re reading this review, you need to get out there and read this book. Now.  If this book doesn’t open your eyes to how flawed the system can be when others just want to stick something on someone wrongfully, I don’t know what will. Not only that, it is a story about humanity and innocence and how, despite great adversity, sometimes you can still hold on to who you are.

I would say read it before seeing the movie but I will have to wait to see the movie myself when it comes out of theaters due to a new baby, but I cannot wait to see it when I can and see how it compares to the book.

Why Star Wars Books?

Well, this question is easy for me to answer. If you’re new around here, you might have noticed a trend as of late as to what I have been reading. Let’s just say, I jumped on the book train in the Star Wars Universe and I have been unable to get off it!

There’s just so much out there besides the new canon novels and, I must say, it’s a lot of fun reading about what all these different authors think about my favorite characters and what circumstances they should be in. Not only that, but seeing all the characters that they brilliantly came up with who are canon or not, but add such great depth to the stories. I’ve read more canon so far than extended universe/legends but, let’s just say, it has been a blast.

There’s so much that the Star Wars books offer in terms of reading. They’re entertaining, there’s love, there’s sci-fi elements, battles, and there are some amazing characters that you can’t stop reading. If you’re looking for a niche of books that offer such a diverse and interesting subject, you really can’t go wrong in diving in.

Now, if you were to ask me where to start, I wouldn’t know where to tell you. When it comes to Legends, I’ve seen people do it chronologically or just dive into a certain series. Here’s where I stand in my Star Wars reading so far so you can see what I’ve decided to dive into:

Phasma by Delilah S. Dawson
Spark of the Resistance by Justina Ireland
Heirs of the Force by Kevin J. Anderson
Shadow Academy by Kevin J. Anderson
Thrawn by Timothy Zahn
Thrawn: Alliances by Timothy Zahn
Heir to the Empire by Timothy Zahn
The Force Awakens (novelization) by Alan Dean Foster
Leia: Princess of Alderaan by Claudia Gray
A New Dawn by John Jackson Miller
Ahsoka by E. K. Johnston

They’ve been some great reads so far but I have a long way to go to read what’s new in canon and what came before. If you’ve read any books so far, where did you start or what did you enjoy most? Let me know in the comments below!

The Importance of Fandom

I guess you could say, from the moment “fandom” became a thing for me, I would get hooked on whatever I possibly could. I would look up everything about said thing and I’d latch on for dear life. For me, I am definitely involved in a few different fandoms, most stemming from my love of reading books, while one did not start out that way but it has definitely brought books into the fold recently for me. Why, though, is fandom important?

It gives those of us with passions for things such as books, movies, tv shows, and other things within pop culture and some outside of it, places to discuss our favorite things. I’m involved in Facebook groups, follow different Tumblrs, follow so many different kinds of people on both Instagram and Twitter, and I’ve found real life friends I can talk for hours about the things I love with. Those communities, sometimes, provide for us people who we can talk to and feel like ourselves with.

Have you ever had friends or family judge you for being super into something? I have. It’s so nice to have people to relate to on many levels. I’ve seen people find connections that have helped them with their medical issues as well, help deal with loneliness, and just overall have places where they can have fun. Why judge someone for something they are passionate about? Shouldn’t that be important for any healthy adult, to have passions? When people speak proudly about something they love, even if it isn’t my thing, it can draw me in and help me feel connected with them, just out of being impressed with their level of passion. For me, when I chat about all things Disney and Disney parks, on and on about Star Wars, among other things, I love when people actually care about what I have to say because it is something that matters to me.

Fandom gives us communities to connect with and, in this world of lack of communication, sometimes gives those of us who might feel lonely, a place to feel a little less alone.

Heirs of the Force Book Review

Finally finished Heirs of the Force by Kevin J. Anderson, the first book in the Young Jedi Knights series. The series focuses on Jaina and Jacen, the twins of Princess Leia Organa Solo and Han Solo (or well, as they were in legends, they are not in canon). It chronicles their time at the beginning as young Jedi at the new Jedi training temple on Yavin 4, where the old rebel base was. They make new friends, including a new Wookie named Lowbacca, nephew of Chewy and Tenel Ka, a young woman from Dathomir.

Let’s just say, this book was a great start to the series. For those of us who are fans of the original trilogy, there are some great callbacks to the empire as well as the great surprise to me that, in Legends territory, Luke chose the temple on Yavin 4 as the new academy instead of going somewhere else. We get to see Luke, Han, and Chewy in this book but not at the cost of the star four characters.

We get to see the young knights in their skills, training, but also when they get themselves into trouble, attempting to use the force but not without difficulty. They realize that they might need to study or practice more, and not just the skills that will enhance their own hobbies. This fascination with their hobbies is what gets the four into trouble when they stumble upon a Tie fighter that crashed during the original Battle of Yavin in A New Hope when the first Death Star was destroyed. The attempts at getting it operational by the mechanically inclined Jaina and the creature curious Jacen is what leads them into getting into a bit of trouble, including trying to protect themselves from a new danger in the mysterious woods of Yavin 4, filled with creatures and unknown dangers.

I would have to give this book 4/5 stars. It is a great story, definitely geared towards a younger audience (I had two of these books when I was a kid but unfortunately did not get the entire series so I never finished them then), and a series that I will definitely keep reading until I am finished. Hearing about these twins that no longer exist in the canon universe has definitely sparked my interest and I can’t wait to keep reading. They are currently no longer in print but you can find them online, used book stores, etc. For me, one of my best friends recently bought the entire set and is lending out to me the ones that I do not own so I am able to finish reading the series. I definitely recommend the read if you have access to the books!

Thrawn Alliances Book Review

Finally. After so many months I have finally gotten to on my To Be Read list and finished reading Thrawn Alliances by Timothy Zahn. What a book. So, when reading through this book, I know that I felt a little sad that we didn’t get an update on Eli Vanto however, the book more than delivered.

The book starts right where the last one left off. We see Vader and Thrawn with the Emperor discussing a disturbance in the force and that he needs to send his most trusted men to look into it and figure out what is going on. The dynamics between these two characters is fantastic. They don’t exactly like each other, especially Vader, but they know they have to work together. However, throughout the entire book, we see Thrawn constantly making little statements and nods that he has worked with Vader before, and Vader keep contradicting him. Why, do you ask? Because they have worked together, but back before Thrawn was with the empire and Anakin Skywalker was still a Jedi.

This book does a great split between the points of view of Padme, Anakin, Thrawn, and Vader. It’s a great balance of seeing Vader’s internal conflict with thinking of, who he calls, The Jedi (himself as Anakin) and his time and then seeing Anakin, long before the threat of Vader loomed above his head, though we have been able to see that darkness threading through Anakin’s life from The Phantom Menance all the way through the Clone Wars show and Revenge of the Sith so it is a cool story to see intertwined in the stories we already know.

More importantly than Anakin’s story arc, seeing the fact that Thrawn has already met Jedi and before he was found by the Empire on that planet, he had already interacted with the Clone War and knew what was going on in the galaxy. He was already able to speak Basic and communicate with Anakin just fine, so what threw Thrawn into the empire now? What did the Chiss want when he was sent there? I have so many more questions now that I hope are answered in Thrawn Treason when it comes out later this year.

We see the interactions between Vader and Thrawn also get strained as they are struggling about what their end games are and Vader being very skeptical of what Thrawn is doing/who he is serving and even mentions treason a few times so who knows what of this book will be echoed back in the next.

Also, another stellar story by Timothy Zahn. I cannot say enough how much I enjoy his writing in Star Wars. If you like the EU as well, definitely read both his older and newer stuff.

Overall I rank this book ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5.

Have you read this book? What did you think? Let me know in the comments below.

Current Favorite Book Series

As I am sure many of you do, let’s just say, I like a lot of books. In those books that I enjoy, there are several in many different series that I keep every book of, read every book, and reread that series as many times as I can.

I decided to focus on those today, mostly so you can get to know me a little better as far as my book profile is concerned, and to maybe spark some additional conversation around what your favorite different series are.

Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling

Obviously, one of the most adored series of all time, I can’t count how many times I have either listened or read these books. I was gifted my very first copy of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone when I was the same age as Harry, 11 in 2000 for Christmas from my grandparents. I was hooked. I hated the waiting for each new book to come out because all I wanted to do was read it immediately. I waited at midnight for the last two books because it was then that I could drive myself to the closest book store 45 minutes away to wait for them. Each year, I would reread the entire series that was out so far and after Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows released, I read the entire series several times through. This is a part of my childhood and I still love the books so much. When I was in London studying abroad in college, I started collecting one of the British versions but as of right now, I only have the first three books due to the fact that I didn’t have enough space in my luggage. 

Outlander Series by Diana Gabaldon

This series is another one that I have reread frequently. Though the novels are quite long (some topping way over 1,000 pages) I can’t put it down. I am currently going through a reread using the Audiobooks which are narrated by Davina Porter. They’re great to listen to on long car rides or even just doing the dishes. Though the series has now gone into a TV show, I still adore the books. There are currently 8, as I referenced in my previous Character Focus post, as well as several novellas and a spin-off series focusing on Lord John Grey. If you are a fan of historical fiction, a little fantasy, romance, and family drama, I cannot not recommend this book fast enough. Go get the first one and see how fast you’ll be hooked!

A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas

This series focuses on Feyre, a human, and her interactions with faeries and trying to save her family. It’s definitely a YA series overall but one that I was enjoying all the way through. I wouldn’t recommend it personally to those younger due to some racier scenes, but overall it is one of my current favorite series to read through. I’ve read through all of the current available books in book form and now I am going through and doing a listen through via audiobook. I recommend this series if you are a fan of fantasy, romance, fantasy battles, and magic. It has great and complex characters and Maas is great at planting even the most minuscule conversations and having them lead to major plot and character developments along the way. I was blown away at the times I was recalling what I previously read and how she tied it all together. There are currently 3 novels and 1 novella out now with more in the pipeline!

Series that I am Currently Reading or Wanting to Read

I am currently reading through, or have these series on my TBR pile!

Thrawn Trilogy by Timothy Zahn
Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard
Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas
Crazy Rich Asians by Kevin Kwan

A Court of Filling My Current TBR pile

Okay. I’ve gotten addicted to a new (to me) author. So many of you have posted often about Sarah J. Maas’ series so that, recently, I had to dig in. I started with her A Court of Thorns and Roses and read all of the books currently out in that series and I’ve already purchased the first in her Throne of Glass series.

If there is anyone right now in the YA world of fantasy who is amazing at world building, I’d say Sarah’s books have to be at the top of any list. Her world’s are immersive, come with maps so you can visualize it (can I get an Amen?!), and are so just well developed.

I will admit, in the beginning of ACOTAR, I admit I was a bit confused at the world and how it’s built but if you keep reading and get into the second book as well, it explodes well out of the smaller area the first book was confined to.

I haven’t started Throne of Glass yet but friends and fellow readers and bloggers cannot stop talking about it to me. I’m going to keep y’all posted on my progress as I am starting the audiobook tonight on a car ride! I am addicted to Audible (guilty) so I can’t wait to dig in as I am cruising down the highway.

Do you read audiobooks as well as reading physical books? Let me know in the comments below!
