A fun look at Ford's early days. We are now in high school.

I decided to read this while I am reading about Ford, as something fun as opposed to serious of a biography. So far, I like it, but there are characters that have too many similarities to their film counterparts.

So, I finished The Resistance Daughter. Expect the review on that soon. In the meantime, I'm looking for my next read. Also, I am listening to the Full cast HP and the Prisoner of Azkaban. It is just as excellent as the other full cast HP books!

This is a fun and fast paced book. Something along the lines of 'Resistance' by Jennifer Neilson but with dual perspectives.

I love how many of the voice actors from The Clone Wars TV show are here as narrators. Probably why I have gotten so much of it read in a few days.

This is one of those books that is made entirely for the fans with boat loads of fanservice. Do I mind? Absolutely not. lol.

This is a really good 2nd installment. I am excited to continue!

We are in the midst of a good mystery in the 2nd book!

Well, I think this is a book that I am not going to like, which is a shame, as I can see why Cornwell is such a good writer. He is a great writer with battle scenes, but without a character to latch onto this is just a mess of people all shouting at each other.

I had heard alot of things about this author so I decided to give him a try. We will see if my opinion of things improve.

I like this book from the standpoint of the mystery, but Chen's writing style makes it too slow paced for my liking.

Imagine the plague, murder, and political intrigue all rolled into one book, and you essentially have this for the first book. I can already see how this can be streched into a 20+ book series.

This book is...weird based on how many POV characters we get. More to come later.

I haven't been reading this as much over Spring break because, I think, my routine has been thrown off somewhat. Still, I am really enjoying this book and it is definately going to be on my best books of the year list.

We are now in LBJ's work with Vietnam. This is an excellent way to explore what is happening with each Presidency, and how each person could have made a difference in Vietnam.

We are now getting into the start of the JFK era of Vietnam. I know I sound like a broken record, but I like how this is all from the Vietnamese perspective. It truly shows how little we did not consider when entering the conflict in Vietnam, and how generations of people would fight for their country, no matter who stood in their way.

I am at the point where the French are out of Vietnam, so it is different and sobering to see the conflict from a Vietnamiese perspective.

This is an interesting exploration of Vietnam around the time just after WWII. I am excited to read more.

This is a book that features great writing. Something along the lines of the Dresden Files in 3rd person. It also doesn't take itself too seriously, as it is all about monsters like Vampires and Werewolves living in a normal small farming town trying to live normal lives. I'm excited to see where this leads.

This is mostly a series of adventures featuring hospital doctors. Think ER or The Pitt in space. It is good if you are into that kind of thing.
