I love this time of year

First, the weather.  We're supposed to hit 80 degrees F today, but I was still reluctant to leave without a jacket this morning.  You just never know when the weather reporters on the radio are either stupid or lying.  But I took a chance anyway, because it just felt so good outside.

Second, Star Wars!  Yesterday one of my coworkers was asking me for advice on how to buy tickets to a midnight show.  Then on the bus last night and this morning, I saw two (rather cute) guys who were halfway through the ROTS novelization.  And even though I'm assiduously avoiding spoilers, I couldn't help craning my neck to get a glimpse of the text.  I managed to catch the beginning of two sentences, which I will present to you now (without cut tags!) so that you can all be as spoiled as I am:

"The Sith Lord"

and

"There's no way"

There, now I've done it. 

For my own part, while I haven't yet bought ROTS, I've been reading SW on the bus myself, trying to catch up on the interim novels I haven't read yet, so that I'll be up to speed with all the character and political goings-on before the movie.  I'm about halfway through Jedi Trial at the moment, and have The Cestus Deception waiting on my desk.  What else is a must novel-wise for me to be up to date?

But in the meantime, the annual spring cleaning of the workspace.  Woo.

You must read Labyrinth of Evil. It is one of the best SW novels I have ever read, and takes you right up to the opening of RoTS. I read it in 2 days, it was that good.

LOL! That's what I would usually do, actually. But I swore I was going to stay as spoiler-free as possible, this being my last chance to do so. *g*

I flipped through the young adult novelisation of ROTS and saw the words "Obi-Wan regained consciousness". Yay!!!!!!!

Hee! Yes, that does sound promising, doesn't it?
