The Perfect Syllabus: Star Wars Show Book Club
Catching Up With Ms. Baver’s Reading Group
Yes. These days, Star Wars is everywhere. So, it’s not hard to find someone to gush over about, say, The Mandalorian; or someone with whom to argue about the Sequel Trilogy. And, when it comes to comics — all you have to do is go to your local comic shop to find someone who is enjoying one or more of the series – this is fun. Try it.
However, it feels like there are far fewer resources for those of us bibliophiles; spaces to listen to other fans (and journalists) after they dived deeply into Star Wars books.
That’s where The Star War Show Book Club comes in.
