In this 58th episode, I review the Heir to the Empire (Star Wars: The Thrawn Trilogy, Vol. 1) by Timothy Zahn. Listen to hear why I thought it was an amazing book that did a fantastic job of handling some of the most beloved characters in fandom. Timothy Zahn knocked it out of the park in this one. I also talk about how amazing the audiobook narrated by Marc Thompson are because of his ridiculous talent for doing all the voices and all of the extra production that went into it with sound effects and music.Download the .mp3Buy the Book on Amazon (Affiliate Link):Heir to the Empire (Star Wars: The Thrawn Trilogy, Vol. 1)Learn more about the author:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timothy_ZahnMusic Attribution:Music by Kevin MacLeod at http://www.incompetech.comLicensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/Visit my website: www.DanDanTheArtMan.comSupport the show AND get a free audiobook!http://www.audibletrial.com/DansBookReviewsAudiobook Pick-of-the-Week:Star Wars: Heir to the Empire (20th Anniversary Edition), The Thrawn Trilogy, Book 1 (Affiliate Link)Written by Timothy ZahnNarrated by Marc ThompsonThis episode of Dan Dan The Art Man's Book Reviews has been brought to you by Audible.

In this 56th episode, I review the book "The Way of Kings" by Brandon Sanderson. It's his first book in his epic fantasy series called The Stormlight Archive. Listen to hear why I struggled through the first 3/4 of the book, only to fall in love with it at the end and be super excited for book 2 in the series.

In this 54th episode, I review the book "The Fault in our Stars" by John Green. Listen to hear why it was an instant classic for me and falls into the class of books I know I'll read again over the years. Unlike most episodes, where I stick to strictly reviewing the book, I do a bit of rabbit trailing about why certain books seem to be my favorites—including The Fault in my Stars. My favorite genres are Sci-Fi and Fantasy adventures, but somehow my favorite books end up being coming of age literary dramas.

In this episode I go through the 6 goals and share how I've been doing. Frankly I have not been hitting many goals. I did one sketch, though it was more of an illustration, I went for one run, I wrote one for about 900 words, and other than that I just didn't achieve many goals but I did have a pretty good week because at least I went for a run.Download the .mp3My websites:Blog for this podcasthttp://6goals.blogspot.com/My writing bloghttp://www.DanDanTheArtMan.com/

I went for one run and I finally ran in under ten minute mile pace.
