Life Update

Hi everyone, BookishandBliss here! Life has been crazy over here but I hope it has been well for all of you, my followers! We recently had baby number 2 (little girl!) so let’s just say my reading life has been primarily settled on picture and board books for littles. I’ve been trying to make some time to read but until we start getting little lady on some sort of a schedule (she’s still too…

Queen's Peril, and Triumph!

Queen's Peril, and Triumph! I review Queen's Peril, a YA Star Wars Canon novel by author E.K, Johnston

When fourteen-year-old Padmé Naberrie wins the election for Queen of Naboo, she adopts the name Amidala and leaves her family to the rule from the royal palace. To keep her safe and secure, she’ll need a group of skilled handmaidens who can be her assistants, confidantes, defenders, and decoys. Each girl is selected for her particular talents, but it will be up to Padmé to unite them as a group.…

Solo: A Star Wars Novelization

Solo: A Star Wars Novelization, a Review

Publishers Summary: “Though Han Solo has thrilled Star Wars fans for decades, the notorious wisecracking scoundrel was chasing adventure and dodging trouble long before he walked into the cantina at Mos Eisley spaceport. Young Han dreams of someday soaring into space at the helm of his own starship and leaving his home, the gritty industrial planet Corellia, far behind. But as long as he’s…

NaNoWriMo 2020, COVID-19, and My Life

Long time no chat, Bookish and Bliss followers.

2020. Has. Been. A. Year. Jeez.

Started off beautifully. Our baby boy came into the world on NYE so we ran in the new year exhausted, half asleep, turning on the tv long enough to catch the ball drop and then we were passed out, well as much as 8 hour fresh parents could be.

Then, COVID hit. As a new mom it was super isolating to say the…

“The Force is all around us,” and How it Connects Even Non-Force Wielders to Black Spire Outpost

“The Force is all around us,” and How it Connects Even Non-Force Wielders to Black Spire Outpost #BlackSpire #BlackSpireBook

Star Wars: Black Spire is written by Star Wars alumni, Delilah S. Dawson. This novel is a direct follow up to Dawson’s Phasma that released in 2017. The timeframe of both of these novels spans just before The Force Awakens and just between The Last Jedi and The Rise of Skywalker.

Now, for Black Spire, why is this book important and why is it important to me? Let’s just say, despite it being…

The Rise of Kylo Ren or the Rise of Snoke? My Review of The Rise of Kylo Ren Issue 1

With The Rise of Kylo Ren, we finally get some more back story behind the tale that Luke Skywalker and Ben Solo told in Force Awakens and how Ben Solo became Kylo Ren.

This will contain spoilers (to both the comic and The Rise of Skywalker) so if you haven’t read the comic yet and don’t want it spoiled, you may want to stop here.

Why Star Wars Books?

Well, this question is easy for me to answer. If you’re new around here, you might have noticed a trend as of late as to what I have been reading. Let’s just say, I jumped on the book train in the Star Wars Universe and I have been unable to get off it!

There’s just so much out there besides the new canon novels and, I must say, it’s a lot of fun reading about what all these different authors…

Phasma Book Review

Phasma Book Review #Phasma #PhasmaBookReview #StarWars #StarWarsBooks

So I finally finished Phasma a few weeks ago and realized I neglected to post a book review. I guess that’s what happens when you are 9 months pregnant! Things get forgotten. Right now, I’m finishing up a few things so I can do some posts for y’all to get caught up with what I’ve been reading (still mostly Star Wars but with The Rise of Skywalker coming out in just a few short weeks, are you…

Comic Overview: Star Wars Allegiance, Issue 1

Comic Overview: Star Wars Allegiance, Issue 1 #StarWarsComics #Allegiance #JourneytoTROS #TROS

Okay, comics, I know. This isn’t my usual review as I haven’t covered comics before. I, just recently, got into some of the Marvel Star Wars comics and I’m surprised at just how good the storytelling really is. I wanted to cover just a few over the course of the next two months. I’ll still be doing a lot of books and book reviews but how about something a little different just for today?

Alleg…

Spark of the Resistance Review

Just a few weeks ago I got to read the Spark of the Resistance by Justina Ireland. This is a junior novel written towards a little bit younger audience than most YA books but was still enjoyable to read as an adult. I’ll get to more of it here in a bit but here’s a quick run down of this book:

This is focused on three of our Resistance Heroes, Rey, Poe Dameron, and Rose Tico. They’ve got the…

My To Be Read Pile, AKA What's Next!

My To Be Read Pile, AKA What’s Next!

I decided to update my To Be Read pile to reflect what I will be actually reading coming up and what reviews you can expect. I decided to change it up a bit since I needed some new reading inspiration and was having issues with becoming invested/interested in picking up new things (and trust me, I have a lot of new things to read). So here’s the breakdown of my new reads/reviews, and their…

Why Blog about Books?

Why Blog about Books?I #Bookblog #bookblogger #fiction #fantasybooks #fictionbooks #whyiblog

How in the world did I get here?

Since I could learn how to read, I have been obsessed with books. If you were a child in the 90’s you would’ve been familiar with the Accelerated Reader program. Let’s just say I was reading as many books as I possibly could to get more points, and because I enjoyed it. Luckily, my parents supported my reading obsession by buying me books and taking me to the…

Young Jedi Knights: Shadow Academy Review

Young Jedi Knights: Shadow Academy Review #bookreview #StarWarsBooks #StarWarsBookReview #YoungJediKnights

This is the second book in this series I have read in my adult years and the second in this series. I’m not sure if I mentioned it before but my first intro into Star Wars was getting two of these books when I was a kid but the ones I received were from the middle of the series so this is my first time reading it all the way through from book one to the last.

I, overall, have given this one…

The Importance of Fandom

The Importance of Fandom #Fandom #Fandoms #FandomCommunity

I guess you could say, from the moment “fandom” became a thing for me, I would get hooked on whatever I possibly could. I would look up everything about said thing and I’d latch on for dear life. For me, I am definitely involved in a few different fandoms, most stemming from my love of reading books, while one did not start out that way but it has definitely brought books into the fold recently…
