There’s a lot out there that’s good!

There’s two lines of books: what’s currently canon, and the Expanded Universe. Your mileage might vary a bit with either, but in the old EU, I highly recommend the Thrawn trilogy and the X-Wing series to start with. The EU has some incredible books, even if it isn’t canon any longer.

I hope so. These are really neat stories, and hopefully shining a light on them will break them out a little more.

Get on that!

I have to say, I really like how simple the prose is: I just sank right into it.

How is the audiobook?

Enjoy! I really liked it.

I’m not convinced of that, although the show is likely driving some of those sales.

However, 125,000 copies in just a month is a huge number: I don’t think that the show has created that amount of demand just yet.

Atwood’s book has also been increasingly popular in recent years, and it’s been frequently cited by readers and activists as an increasingly relevant book in the last couple of years. I think Trump’s election is a culminating point for a lot of the concerns that readers and the left as a whole are experiencing.
