Thankfulathon: Update 1

Update 1
I've read over 23 items so far this month though none of my challenge books😆. That happens to me all the time when I have to pick specific books to read!! Here is hoping I finish at least one!


I discovered this fun readathon on Twitter. The theme is to read books that you are Thankful for! I've started my journey with Library books. I'm soooo Thankful for my library and for the Libby app! I've started a journey to read all the Hercule Poirot novels and novellas as well as other books . Here is what I read so far:

Seasonal Reads 2019

Fall is here at last! Despite the California sun continuing to heat things up I'm in the mood for creepy reads and seasonal stories. Here are some of the books I have been reading :
 

Review: Return To Vader's Castle Issue 2

Creators:  Cavan Scott, Francesco Francavilla, Kelly Jones, Michelle Madsen, AndWorld Design
In this second story of the series we get a story from a captive at Vader's Castle Lt. Thom Hudd. Tarkin is the focus of this story and it was really wonderful to see aspects of Tarkin from the new canon novel be showcased in this story. The story opens when Tarkin is giving a surprise inspection on an Imperial ship. 
The tour is interrupted by a transport crashing into the Imperial ship and a large monstrous creature emerges and screams for Tarkin. This series gives all the creature feature feels. It also has some echoes of Peter Cushing's  Frankenstein days. Another gorgeously illustrated volume with lots of action and a cameo visit from a Rebellion leader. 
Really loved this issue, a perfect Halloween read.
