Look at this beautiful book! STAR WARS: PRINCESS OF THE REBELLION written by the one and only Claudia Gray with a stunning cover by Zoë van Dijk comes to a galaxy near you on May 4th, 2027. It's a perfect way to celebrate the 50th!

Got edits back on my work. Turns out, I do know a thing or two about Star Wars. And maybe my writing isn't just hot garbage!

I’m a huge space nerd. I live in Florida and have covered rocket launches & NASA missions. I wrote my thesis on Disney’s impact on the space program in the 50s-60s. I’m writing a book about public space history. I’m…underwhelmed by Artemis II. That’s probably on me for expecting another Apollo 8.

Why write book reviews if you don't have your own opinions on what you've read? Using AI to write a book review's substance in the way this writer did is so embarrassing and intellectually void. Ideally, you wouldn't even look up anything anyone else said about the book. (Or I wouldn't, at least.)

the funniest part of this article is when the author hits pause to be like "I personally don't read romance, I am in a book club called the Difficult Books Club where we read the Brothers Karamazov and kind of hate it." seems like the wrong person to be writing about romance and fanfic then idk
