Hello! Welcome to the next stop on the Star Wars Galaxy's Edge: A Crash of Fate blog tour hosted by Rockstar Book Tours. I was supposed to review this book for the tour, but one of my monsters spilled juice all over the computer's keyboard, and I wasn't able to get my post up on time. Sadly, I haven't been able to do any posts while waiting for a replacement. This is just a spotlight post, which highlights information about the book and the author, but with the added benefit of a giveaway!

My Weekly Pull [60] & Can't Wait Wednesday [30]

My Weekly Pull is something I do every Wednesday to show which comics I had pulled for me that week! If you're into comics, or you're looking to start, please join me! If you decide to do your own post, there's a link-up at the bottom. I would love to stop by and check it out!

Star Wars Age of Republic Padme Amidala #1 by Jody Houser, Cory Smith, Paolo Rivera

Jacob's comics for the week!

Amazing Spider-Man #16.HU by Nick Spencer, Iban Coello, Greg Land

Deadpool #10 by Skottie Young, Scott Hepburn

Jacob brought Star Wars Age of Republic Padme Amidala to my attention (that title is a mouthful!), and I've been on the fence about whether or not I want to read it. I'm getting the first issue because I've always liked Star Wars, and I'm curious how the story will look in a comic. I'm sure it'll be a different perspective, which is always interesting. Also, I love Padme! She's a fierce female that isn't afraid to fight for what she believes in. She's also competent, intelligent, and badass.

It's also written by Jody Houser, and I love her writing. She wrote Amazing Spider-Man Renew Your Vows and Spider-Girls. Both are excellent! Renew Your Vows is easily an all-time favorite!

Can't Wait Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Tressa at Wishful Endings, that highlights upcoming releases that we're anticipating and excited to read. It's a spinoff of the feature Waiting on Wednesday that was hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine.

Fame Adjacent by Sarah Skilton

Expected publication: April 9th 2019

Synopsis (via Goodreads): The child star that was left behind is about to get her moment to shine in this swoony romantic comedy inspired by a unique, beloved facet of pop culture history: The Mickey Mouse Club.

Holly Danner has a complicated relationship with fame. It's not easy being the only cast member of a 1990s song-and-dance show who didn't become famous. When she was eleven, she used to do anything for a laugh (or at least a laugh-track) on "Diego and the Lion's Den." If she talked about it--which she almost never does--Holly might explain how her childhood best friends came to dominate the worlds of pop music, film, and TV while she was relegated to a few near-misses and a nanny gig for her niece. She'd even be telling the truth about making peace with the whole thing years ago.

But when she finds out there's a 25th anniversary for the show planned--a televised reunion, clip show, and panel--and she wasn't invited, it's time for an impromptu road trip to crash the event and set the record straight. Three problems: she's currently in Internet Rehab (perhaps she's not quite as well-adjusted as she believes...), she has no cash, and the only person who can get her across the country in time is Thom Parker, a handsome, infuriatingly level-headed patient who doesn't think she should confront her famous ex-friends.

If the book is anything like its blurb, I'm going to love this!
