David McK (3557 KP) rated Star Wars Omnibus: X-Wing Rogue Squadron, Vol. 2 in Books

Jan 30, 2019

The second collection of X-Wing, this consists of the following stories:

1) X-Wing Rogue Squadron Special (basically a bit about Wedge's background and his influence on Rogue Squadron)

2) Battleground: Tatooine

3) The Warrior Princess

4) Requiem for a Rogue

Personally, however, none of the stories really seemed to hold my attention all that much: as a matter of taste, I think I still prefer a printed novel over a comic novel

Sarah Vowell | 2021

Book Favorite

"Perfect for a deserted island, since it is basically the history of the Hawaiian islands and its people. Sarah Vowell's morbid humor and tone make even the darkest and the saddest moments in Hawaiian history, dare I say, enjoyable. From its glorious days with Princess Ka'iulani to her culture-shattering dethroning under Western colonization, Vowell seems to know how to rip your heart wide open while suturing it back up at the same time."

Movie Favorite

"I would say Peau d’âne, by Jacques Demy, a French musical with Catherine Deneuve, because I fell in love with Catherine Deneuve. I was so impressed. I think that, because I watched her being a princess in that movie, that I wanted to be an actress. She was so amazing, and I love Jacques Demy movies. It’s like a real beautiful fairy tale and, I just watch that movie again and again."

Movie Favorite

"The casting in this film allows for so much nuance, from Nick Apollo Forte (who didn’t do anything else) to the borscht-belt comedians in Carnegie Deli, to all of Danny Rose’s clients, to the off-type performance from Mia Farrow as a side-piece and a mob-boss princess… They all amount to something that’s so inherently New York in a way that I hope NEVER dies. I am Danny Rose."

Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Eternal Darkness (The Amagarians, #1) in Books

When I bought this, I thought it was paranormal but its actually very much a fantasy from the writing style, which I couldn't get into, to the world building and the characters. I'm not a very big fantasy reader at all but if the style had been a lot more modern I might have managed to finish this because Drac seemed like quite the character though the Princess did nothing for me.
