Year: 2025

  • Fluent Forever

    Fluent Forever

    Pretty good, very compelling, focused on pronunciation first, spaced repetition, and focusing on what’s interesting.

  • Resistance Reborn

    Resistance Reborn

    Fills in a bit between Last Jedi and Rise of Skywalker, great to see more of folks from the other novels, especially the Aftermath series.

  • The Artist's Way: 30th Anniversary Edition
  • Star Wars: The Acolyte: Wayseeker

    Star Wars: The Acolyte: Wayseeker

    Not bad, I think I expected a little more about Qimir, but it was good to see more of the relationship between Vernestra and Indara.

  • Battlefront II: Inferno Squad

    Battlefront II: Inferno Squad

    I have not played any of the video games (I want to now!), but this was good, not what I expected (after the first Battlefront book), well written, melancholy sad.

  • Shadow Fall: An Alphabet Squadron Novel

    Shadow Fall: An Alphabet Squadron Novel

    Another good Alphabet Squadron book… wild turn at the end there with Yrica!

  • Catalyst: A Rogue One Novel

    Catalyst: A Rogue One Novel

    Great back story, really cool to get more of the back story between the Ersos and Orsen Krennic. The guy is so calculating!

  • The Beginner’s Guide to Urban Sketching
  • Everyday Sketching and Drawing

    Everyday Sketching and Drawing

    Breaking down things into their 3D shapes, and the approach of layering in greyscale to color to couture lines and then white gel was really good. Could have been covered in 3 pages, but the book is full of great examples.

  • The Year I Stopped to Notice

    The Year I Stopped to Notice

    This was a favorite, fun little read, I laughed out loud on a few of these. This might be a book that I gift.
