New Star Wars Book Series

While shopping at my local grocery store (Dillon's/Kroger's) I discovered a new Star Wars book series.  There are, at this time, 3 books in the series: Star Wars: A New Hope - The Princess, the Scoundrel, and the Farm Boy by Alexandra Bracken; Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back - So You Want to be a Jedi? by Adam Gidwitz; and Star Wars: Return of the Jedi - Beware the Power of the Dark Side by Tom Angleberger.   I purchased the tome by Alexandra Bracken to read.  I will purchase the rest!
The authors may sound familiar to you!  Alexandra Bracken is author of the "Darkest Minds novels" - The Darkest Mind, Never Fade, Through the Dark, and In the Afterlight.  Her latest title is Passenger, due out this year.
Adam Gidwitz has written the "Grimm series" - A Tale Dark and Grimm, In a Glass Grimmly, and The Grimm Conclusion.  Tom Angleberger is the author of the well-known "Origami Yoda series" -  The Strange Case of Origami Yoda, The Secret of the Fortune Wookie, Darth Paper Strikes Back, The Surprise Attack of Jabba the Puppet, Emperor Pickletine Rides the Bus, Princess Labelmaker to the Rescue, and ART2-D2's Guide to Folding and Doodleling.
So far, I'm enjoying the Bracken book.  It contains 3 stories about, you guessed it, Princess Leia, Han Solo, and Luke Skywalker, told from their points-of view.
If this book or series sounds like something you might like to read, look for them at your favorite book store, or grocery store!

Tonight Steve and I ventured to the Longhorn Restaurant in Wichita for our usual Saturday "date night."  Sadly we had to wait almost an hour to get a seat.  I keep telling Steve that we MUST go before 7:00pm.  This time we were there at 6:30pm and the place was packed!  We both enjoyed sirloin steak.  YUMMMM.  As we were being seated, a woman also waiting to be seated, handed me a coupon for $10.00 off our Longhorn tab.  That was so nice!  She must have been from Iowa!

I've read that Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, and South Dakota are in for another blizzard starting Sunday or Monday.  Here you go again!  Remember, spring is supposed to arrive early!



Well, my friends and family, it's time to say good-night.  Pleasant dreams!
