Goodbye 2020 and hello to a new year and new books. With the exception of January's book selections for Book Club which are a continuation of last month's picks. December was not a good reading month for me which is why I wanted to keep these picks for book club because I know they're good reads. I just didn't get a chance to read them.
The information about the book club picks below is from December 2020:
For The Book Girl's Book Club we will be reading The Trouble with Hating You by Sajni Patel, I figure we could read a bit of romance for the month. As for the Comic Book Club, I picked Adventures of Supergirl by Sterling Gates which are stories tied-in the Supergirl TV series. Last is the Star Wars Book Club where we will be reading Lost Tribe of the Sith by John Jackson Miller.
The Book Girl's Book Club
Book: The Trouble with Hating You by Sajni Patel
Description:
Liya Thakkar is a successful biochemical engineer, takeout enthusiast, and happily single woman. The moment she realizes her parents' latest dinner party is a setup with the man they want her to marry, she's out the back door in a flash. Imagine her surprise when the same guy shows up at her office a week later -- the new lawyer hired to save her struggling company. What's not surprising: he's not too thrilled to see her either after that humiliating fiasco.
Jay Shah looks good on paper...and off. Especially if you like that whole gorgeous, charming lawyer-in-a-good-suit thing. He's also infuriating. As their witty office banter turns into late-night chats, Liya starts to think he might be the one man who truly accepts her. But falling for each other means exposing their painful pasts. Will Liya keep running, or will she finally give love a real chance?

Star Wars Book Club
Book: Star Wars: Lost Tribe of the Sith by John Jackson Miller
Description:
At last in one volume, the eight original installments of the epic Lost Tribe of the Sith eBook series . . . along with the explosive, never-before-published finale, Pandemonium—more than one hundred pages of new material!
Five thousand years ago. After a Jedi ambush, the Sith mining ship Omen lies wrecked on a remote, unknown planet. Its commander, Yaru Korsin, battles the bloodshed of a mutinous faction led by his own brother. Marooned and facing death, the Sith crew have no choice but to venture into their desolate surroundings. They face any number of brutal challenges—vicious predators, lethal plagues, tribal people who worship vengeful gods—and like true Sith warriors, counter them with the dark side of the Force.
The struggles are just beginning for the proud, uncompromising Sith, driven as they are to rule at all costs. They will vanquish the primitive natives, and they will find their way back to their true destiny as rulers of the galaxy. But as their legacy grows over thousands of years, the Sith ultimately find themselves tested by the most dangerous threat of all: the enemy within.
