So I'm making a list, a weird list a very very VERY weird list.

Basically it's this "If your favorite character were a lip balm,what flavor would he/she/it be?

This is what I have so far (that I'm willing to share) I admit a few of these, for me were no-brainers.

Ginny (HP) = Cherry or Chocolate-covered cherry
Harry (HP) = Chocolate
Luna (HP) = Lime
Ron (HP) = Orange
Albus (HP) = Lemon
Leia (SW) - Cinnamon Rolls
Laura (LHotP) = Apple or Apple Cider
Jack (PotC) = Rum
Ichabod (TLoSH) = Pumpkin


That's just to start out with for me, I may update this later. Anyone else have any ideas?

Did that seriously just happen?

To me?


I got a DM on twitter a few hours ago, which I didn't see 'til about an hour or so ago, from a book publicist wanting to send me a copy of PRIDE AND PROMETHUS (!!!) in exchange for a review to be posted on my twitter and instagram on the release date (February 13, 2018). Oh boy I've never had a deadline before *keels over*

They're sending out copies of the ARC(?) later this week and I CAN'T WAIT!!

Have I mentioned it stars Mary Bennet (who's Elizabeth Bennet Darcy? I don't have a clue! *winks*)and Victor Frankenstein??
I first read the short story with the same name years ago and it NEVER left my mind and when I found out the author (John Kessel) was doing  novel-length version I squealed with delight! And since I read that DM I haven't stopped squealing!

The very last time I got a free book in the mail it was the Star Wars EU novel in which CHEWIE GETS KILLED OFF BY A FREAKING MOON

Since I have to real place to put my review on twitter I think I'm going to post it here THEN link it to Twitter and the on instagram ( need wi-fi for that. So watch this space!!


The only thing better than me getting a copy of the Pride And Prometheus ARC would be getting a movie based on that books (Please gods of books and movies MAKE IT HAPPEN!!)

For those interested, my instagram and my twitter accounts are under the same username (brandyjewelle)

Posted a great batch of Star Wars icons over at [livejournal.com profile] bellacreations just now. My best SW batch yet (not that there's been many , heh) For some reason I love the idea of Padme in a cloak. I guess I've always loved the concept of Padme being a Jedi. :p

Corphelion Interlude by Troy Denning

A flight of comets hung just beyond the observation dome, their luminous heads arrayed in a ragged double arrow, their long tails striping the dark sky with silver splendor. The largest were visibly creeping across space, and one—a blazing giant with a braided tail that seemed to stretch across half the system—was rapidly swelling to the size of a hubba melon. The panorama was just as advertised, the perfect honeymoon view, and Han Solo could tell by the gabble of three-hundred beings packed onto the small viewing floor that everyone else thought so, too.

At Han's side stood Leia, dressed comfortably but fashionably in a sleeveless doublet and a pair of slinky zoosha pants that Han found especially alluring. Her brown eyes were fixed on the patio below, and on her face, she wore a cordial diplomat's expression that was more mask than smile.

Behind them, a swarm of droning Kubaz spilled out of the turbolift and brushed past, making pointed comments about blocking access to the viewing floor.

"Sorry about this," Han said to Leia. A stop to watch the Corphelion Comets had seemed a romantic way to start their honeymoon—at least until they had discovered that it was the height of the season and every resort on the asteroid was badly overbooked. "I guess the private dome isn't so private, either."

I hope any random observers liked these two rare treasures.

Judge's Call by Timothy Zahn
An original exclusive short story


The two small, potbellied aliens bowed low in front of Luke Skywalker. "I hear the Jedi and obey," one of them intoned, his nasal voice hitting three distinct notes at the same time.

"I also hear and obey," the second said, somewhat less enthusiastically. Bowing again, they backed away.

With a quiet sigh, Mara Jade Skywalker looked at her datapad. These two had been the twenty-ninth and thirtieth complainants since Luke had started this session at sunrise this morning. Thirty complainants down. Five billion to go.

I put this here so I may read it later just in case Random House puts something else up *here* for Valentine's Day. There's also a Han/Leia Story from the Previous year which will be up in the next post.

Here I was, sitting here wodering what the names of the creatures (Big white look like horses but.... not )were that pull Padme's casket in RotS . I KNEW it was in the book but I couldn't find the book. So here I was on the very verge of getting ready to ask the starwars comm , what they were, when I FIND the book and find out that they are "gualaars"
Heh.

I just saved myself some trouble

Ducks in Star Wars?

It's true!


Duck:


Homeworld:
Naboo

An enigmatic waterfowl from worlds scattered across the galaxy, ducks are often referred to in a number of colorful expressions. During Queen Amidala's escape from Naboo, Captain Panaka was heard to lament the likelihood of their being hit by Trade Federation cannonades. He likened their position to being "sitting ducks."
*~*~
When first training Luke Skywalker in the ways of the Force, Obi-Wan used an analogy, explaining that even a duck must be taught how to swim. Luke's rather provincial response was, "what's a duck?"
