WWW Wednesday – April 28, 2021

www_wednesdays

WWW Wednesday is a weekly book meme run by Sam over at Taking on a World of Words. Check out her post and others over on her blog!

The Three Ws are:

What are you currently reading?
What did you recently finish reading?
What do you think you’ll read next?


Currently Reading

Over the weekend I started reading Star Wars: Light of the Jedi by Charles Soule, one of the first books under the banner of The High Republic, which is an era set hundreds of years before the film saga. When I started this over the weekend I had lofty ideas of reading quotas, getting 50 pages done a day to speed up reading. I read just over 50 pages on Saturday, and have made no progress since. So that’s a bad start with that. I’m enjoying the book so far though, which has been introducing a large cast of new Jedi characters. An unexpected catastrophe is affecting and entire star system and a large force of Jedi, alongside a Republic fleet, are trying to save as many people as they can. It’s exciting stuff, but I want to see where the story goes once things quiet down too.


Recently Finished

Sadly, nothing this week. I’ve continued to neglect comics. Boo to me. 👻


Reading Next

I’ve still had trouble deciding what I’ll read next from my to-read lists, but to do away with the indecision I’ve just now decided to go with The Princess Diarist by Carrie Fisher, which is a collection of her old journal entries she wrote during the filming of the original Star Wars. I want to make sure I keep up with my lists in May, but I intend to get two ARCs finished that month too, so I’ve mainly picked this above the others because it’s relatively shorter. I am excited to finally read some of Fisher’s writing too, mind you.

Until next week, thank you for reading! Feel free to share your own post down below.

    • That book has been on my radar for a while too, I just could resist the more blatantly Star Wars-centric one. I hope you have a great week too.

  1. I’m not a huge fan of Star Wars (even though I keep trying, really I do!), but I have to say that the cover for Light of the Jedi is stunning! Also, The Princess Diarist sounds like a really interesting read!

    • I’ve liked a lot of the art work around The High Republic stuff too, it’s done a good job of evoking the sort of Golden Age feel they’re aiming for. I’m also interested to read Fisher’s writing because for the longest time I had no idea she was an accomplished author. It was not unlike when I first learned Mark Hamill went on to become a very accomplished voice actor after playing Luke.
