So tonight the wife and I stopped at the last remaining Borders bookstore in our area to see what could be found for cheap.  I had hopes of picking up the 2nd in the Old Republic series that just came out, but that was all gone.  Instead, I picked up a newer book called Choices of One, written by Timothy Zahn.  I've always enjoyed his books and writings, so I just picked it up without much thought.  It's set 8 months after the Battle of Yavin, and stars Luke, Han, Leia, Chewie, and even Mara Jade as the Emperor's Hand.  I'll give a review when I've finished!

hmmm....good idea to hit a Borders.

I wonder if Xizor is in it. Sounds like the same time frame as SOTE.

He is not mentioned in the synopsis, and I think this takes place even before that event.

I just finished up the first of the new Halo books about the Forerunners and liked it pretty good as well as two of the new series by John Ringo. Now I am finishing up a book by Terry Brooks about the place all his books are about that I can't spell and its not bad either. I also have about four new books on the way covering the Zombie Apocalypse genre.

While I am waiting for Star Wars books to come out in paperback I have been reading Game of Thrones because I watched the show on HBO.

Well I haven't read any new SW books lately, but I have been getting into a zombie series by J.L. Bourne called Day to Day Armageadon which is kind of a like a journal of someone who is surviving a Zombie Apocalypse.  Max Brooks with World War Z did something with a similar style to those who survived a similar type of apocalypse after it was over, but this one is walking you throught it present day. I find the writing very good and look forward to adding the lastest release to my book collection the first week of October.

Ofcourse I am still continuing my John Ringo military sci fi collection with the Troy Series now even though the Posleen Stories are my favorite.

I really did enjoy reading Red Harvest this summer and really would like to read more Sith stories. I am going to have to try Lost Tribe of the Sith.

Last time I checked out Death Troopers from my library, I read it half way, and when I got to the part with...


SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER

Han and Chewie in it, I stopped, because that kind of ruined it for me.  Well, I got it again yesterday (having paid off my library account of owed fees, that were probably two years old), and finished the remaining 140 pages.  I don't get how Han seemed to be so unaffected by all of it in the end, ESPECIALLY after the zombie in the shuttle.  Overall, I love how the action picked up more, and they included more of the undead (A LOT MORE, especially in the hangar).  Sartoris really changed his character, too, and did a noble thing.  Too bad Kale had to turn into a zombie, though...  Overall, the book was better than I thought it would be, but the inclusion of Han, and how he seemed so unaffected still doesn't make sense to me.  

I'll be certain to get the prequel, Red Harvest, next time I go.  (Already have it requested...)

I found SW the Force Unleashed at wally world so I brought that home. Guess I need to buy the first one so I read em in order though.

I wanted to buy the Lost Tribe of the Sith, but they are only available on Kindle as an Ebook novella. HOWEVER, IF YOU HAVE AN EBOOK THEY ARE ALL FREE TO DOWNLOAD! Daggone, it has me thinking I might buy one. I do like my books on paper though.

I do have more Zombie books on the way too.

Finished Red Harvest today.  I don't know what to say except WOW.  Better than the last book, by far, but too bad Tulkh had to die. (Somehow I knew he and Rojo would; said it from the beginning)   :'(  In the end, I wasn't sure whether Zo would live or not.
