Tome Thursday: The Clone Wars

Hello everyone!

It's time for yet another book review, and I managed to finish up what I consider, at the moment, to be the best of the Star Wars movie novelizations so far.

I haven't read the lot of them YET - still working on it, there's a heck of a lot! - but I've crunched through most of the Prequels and gotten to the point where I'm actually missing a book from the lineup and have to download it before I can get to the one that a very good friend of mine has wanted me to read for ages now.

I have to admit, this all depends on what I feel like reading, of course. Some days, Star Wars just doesn't cut it for me because of some weird mood I'm in.

But I've been doing pretty well recently and I'll probably take a mini break and read something else before diving back into the galaxy far, far away, so I figured I would catch you all up on my current reading material!

Karen Traviss and her novelization of The Clone Wars are definitely worth the read, however you look at it.

Tome Thursday: Star Wars Hachette

Hello everyone!

This week's book blog post is a bit of a cheat, all things considered, but I didn't want to just not post anything since I will be out and about most of the day. I wanted to give you guys SOMETHING.

So I remembered that I'd read a very short book, more novella really, or a sort of children's version of a story, a couple of days back.

Once again I seem to be on a Star Wars binge as I've discovered The Clone Vars novelization, and I have to say it's the very first novelization so far that I want to have as a physical copy. Karen Traviss really seems to understand the characters well, she gives scenes time to breathe, and doesn't just tell the readers, she sort of shows them, too.

What I didn't know prior to reading Traviss' book (which I am right now) was that another one I had, in French, was basically the same thing - only condensed!

The Biblioteque Verte version has the Clone Wars animation cover, and even though it's French, I could absolutely see and feel all the puns thrown back and forth between the characters.
