Book #77: Bomber Command, by Jason Fry

NO ONE TOUCH ME I AM HAVING FEELINGS

So this is Paige Tico's account of her mission as part of Cobalt Squadron. It's part of the journal-style series that also has books about Rey, Finn, and Poe (Rey's is relentless and most of Poe's is from the POV of the First Order, which is actually super funny), so it includes fold-outs with maps and diagrams, and is written like a journal. It also includes one of Leia's speeches to the Galactic Senate (DON'T TOUCH ME), and a couple of technical entries from Rose, explaining the machine she built for the Cobalt Squadron book.

I really like it. It covers basically the same ground as Cobalt Squadron, but Paige's POV makes it worth it. I would recommend reading CS first (because it actually has a plot), but it probably doesn't matter. Just, you know, bring tissues.

(The only thing I DIDN'T love was the use of "he/him" for vague-singular. Which is made extra weird because one time, they DID use "his or her", and also THE CREW CHIEF IN QUESTION IS ACTUALLY FEMALE, so it made, like, zero sense.)

Book #78: The Last Jedi Visual Dictionary, by Pablo Hidalgo

Equal parts random information and inside jokes, this is the book you get for the person who wants to know the names of every pilot, gambler, and bad guy in Star Wars (because they all have names). I enjoyed it immensely, even though I mostly bought it for kicks. The photo quality is really good.
