Star Wars The Clone Wars: Stories of Light and Dark

 

Review by: Bluninja29

 

Opening Thoughts:

Star Wars The Clone Wars: Stories of Light and Dark is a collection of stories based off the TV show Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2003 TV series.) It has 11 Short Stories all based off episodes from the TV show. with more view points that we didn't get to see in the show. One of the Short stories im are gonna look at is about Count Dooku.

 

Story:

Count Dooku was surprised attacked by the Republic.

 

Presentation:

I do like how these are in the characters point of view like Count Dooku. I also like how all the stories are based off the show. What I didn't like is how these are short stories, but it is a nitpick so I won't get crazy over it. I honestly liked this book.

If you are a star wars nerd or want to give your kid a star wars book to read. then this is the book for you!


4/5

A Dark Spring (Stories That Twist & Tangle) - R.M. Gilmore,M. (Mary) Billiter,Barb Shuler,Kim Deister,Laura N. Andrews,Kenneth Jobe,Ricky Wells,M.C. St. John

@Archaeolibrary, @ttpubs, #ADarkSpring_Tour #Suspense #Thriller #Anthology #TTPubs

 

Eight original tales of suspense that will tangle your senses and keep you gripped. From murder to the unknown, the everyday world is explored in these tension-fuelled and twisted novellas. Be prepared to get tangled.

 

***

 

A Tangled Oracle by Laura N. Andrews

In Oracle Vardalos’s dreams, people are murdered. News stories follow and the evidence piles up against her. She must save those she loves; even if it’s from herself.

 

The Burning Rock by M. Billiter

They agreed it would be easier this way. Still, when it was over, all that remained was an empty saddle and a closed casket.

 

Tangled Love by Kim Deister

He's the Gomez to her Morticia, the center of her world. But everything changes when Tessa sees something she was never supposed to see. Love and sanity become tangled, leaving her teetering on the edge of the cliff, wondering if her life will ever be the same again.

 

Gnarled by R.M. Gilmore

Carter Kennedy returns to her father’s hometown after nearly twenty years to claim her inheritance. She quickly discovers why her father had kept her and her brother away from Scully’s Hollow and the people who inhabit it.

 

Early Retirement by Kenneth Jobe

Loyal husband and hard-working employee Richard Griffith has his world turned upside down. When he is dealt yet another bad hand and uncovers the identity of his wife's lover, he reaches his breaking point.

 

Tangled Obsession by Barb Shuler

Injured and stranded on a mountain with the sun setting and no help in sight, Elsa Malloy has only two options—fight or die. Believing her loved ones are dead, and fighting against the elements of the mountain, Elsa is left to fend off a sadistic killer alone.

 

We Only Want to Play by M.C. St. John

Teacher aide Julie Trudeau has noticed something odd among the remaining summer school students: they are playing a game of Telephone without moving their lips. When recess turns violent, it's up to Julie and a ragtag group of staff and students to survive after the last school bell.

 

The House on Oak Street by Ricky Wells

Spring break approaches and three middle schoolers look forward to their mini-vacation. But when one of them goes missing, Ann and Roger find that no one will listen to them. It’s up to them to rescue their friend or are they the next victims of the House on Oak Street?

Halloween Pre-Party 2019
The legend of Sleepy Hollow - Washington Irving
The Lovely Bones - Alice Sebold
Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark - Alvin Schwartz,Stephen Gammell
Pet Sematary - Stephen King
The Haunting of Maddy Clare - Simone St. James
Dangerous - Amanda Quick

 

Ghost stories are a little tough to really scare me because I'm 99% sure I don't think they exist. When I was younger, Scary Stories to tell in the Dark was a sleepover staple, we'd read (ok, me) aloud trying to scare the bejebus out of each other.

The Legend of Sleepy Hollow was one I read somewhere in early teens and remember loving the setting, slight creep factor, and relationships.

Pet Sematary I probably read in mid-teens and while I didn't feel too scared being an animal lover drew out the emotions in me. 

The Lovely Bones seems to be a book that likes to divide people. It seems weird to say I enjoyed the story because of how freaking awful some things in it are but gawd, talk about a story that will emotionally wring you out. 

I think it was last year for Halloween Bingo I read The Haunting of Maddy Clare and I still remember that barn scene, hair on neck standing up.

And because I'm a punk, I added a romance that has a main character that likes to investigate the supernatural and a ghost, seemingly, comes to the rescue.

 

Shout-out to people doing today's prompt, adding some to my potential Bingo reading list :)

The Weird: A Compendium of Strange and Dark Stories
The Weird: A Compendium of Strange and Dark Stories - Jeff VanderMeer,Ann VanderMeer I heard about this book from a Q&A episode of one of my favorite podcasts, Archive 81. I started reading in January and set a goal to read 100 pages a month. Eleven months later, I've finally finished it. And what a great book to keep me company in different cycles of growth through this year! There were a lot of amazing stories in here, my favorites being:

- "The Willows" by Algernon Blackwood
- "The Dissection" by Georg Heym
- "The Spider" by Hanns Heinz Ewers
- "Sandkings" by George R. R. Martin
- "Window" by Bob Leman
- "The Autopsy" by Michael Shea
- "The New Rays" by M. John Harrison
- "Bloodchild" by Octavia E. Butler
- "The Ocean and All Its Devices" by William Browning Spencer
- "The Meat Garden" by Craig Padawer
- "The Genius of Assassins: Three Dreams of Murder in the First Person" by Michael Cisco
- "The Beautiful Gelreesh" by Jeffrey Ford
- "The Brotherhood of Mutilation" by Brian Evenson - the only story in the anthology that actually physically disturbed me.
- "The White Hands" by Mark Samuels
- "Flat Diane" by Daniel Abraham
