On My List: February 21st

Happy Tuesday!

I haven't posted an On My List in a while, so I wrote a little one. First, is a book that's been on my bookshelf that I haven't read. Second is a TV show I want to rewatch and last is a movie I want to rewatch. What's on your list?


A Book on my Bookshelf that I Haven't Read:

Yesterday, I was looking through one of my bookcases and found Star Wars: Scoundrels at the back of one the shelves. I forgot I had this and definitely want to read it. It's a book that centers on Han Solo, Chewbacca and Lando Calrissian, how could I have forgotten about this book. I've moved it to the front of the shelf, so I'll see it and hopefully it'll remind me to read it soon.


Book: Star Wars: Scoundrels by Timothy Zahn

Description:

To make his biggest score, Han’s ready to take even bigger risks. But even he can’t do this job solo.

Han Solo should be basking in his moment of glory. After all, the cocky smuggler and captain of the Millennium Falcon just played a key role in the daring raid that destroyed the Death Star and landed the first serious blow to the Empire in its war against the Rebel Alliance. But after losing the reward his heroics earned him, Han’s got nothing to celebrate. Especially since he’s deep in debt to the ruthless crime lord Jabba the Hutt. There’s a bounty on Han’s head—and if he can’t cough up the credits, he’ll surely pay with his hide. The only thing that can save him is a king’s ransom. Or maybe a gangster’s fortune? That’s what a mysterious stranger is offering in exchange for Han’s less-than-legal help with a riskier-than-usual caper. The payoff will be more than enough for Han to settle up with Jabba—and ensure he never has to haggle with the Hutts again.

All he has to do is infiltrate the ultra-fortified stronghold of a Black Sun crime syndicate underboss and crack the galaxy’s most notoriously impregnable safe. It sounds like a job for miracle workers . . . or madmen. So Han assembles a gallery of rogues who are a little of both—including his indispensable sidekick Chewbacca and the cunning Lando Calrissian. If anyone can dodge, deceive, and defeat heavily armed thugs, killer droids, and Imperial agents alike—and pull off the heist of the century—it’s Solo’s scoundrels. But will their crime really pay, or will it cost them the ultimate price?





A TV Show I Want to Rewatch:

The Librarians

I loved watching The Librarians and too bad it was cancelled, it was such a good show. I loved the characters and all the interesting and weird cases and adventures they found themselves in. I really wish it had gotten renewed for a fifth season. Well, at least I can still rewatch it.


Description:

The Librarians centers on an ancient organization dedicated to protecting an unknowing world from the secret, magical reality hidden all around.






A Movie I Want to Rewatch:

Wonder Woman 1984

I have been wanting to rewatch Wonder Woman 1984, I really liked this movie. Because sometimes what you really want isn't always something that's good for you. And all the wishes the characters (Diana included) were making in this movie was making everything so much worse with each wish.


Description:

Diana must contend with a work colleague, and with a businessman whose desire for extreme wealth sends the world down a path of destruction, after an ancient artifact that grants wishes goes missing.
