A very strange collection of stories. Some are good, a lot are not, and a select few were amazing. 

This is a collection of poems A.A. Milne wrote among his other works. The Pooh Bear cover is a little deceiving since he is only in one of the poems at the very end and this book is included among the Winnie-The-Pooh collection of stories Milne has. It was cute but unexpected, though as always, the narrator did a great job.

Of course the last story in this audiobook was Christopher Robin saying goodbye. Made me all nostalgic for rewatching the Christopher Robin movie immediately afterward so they can be reunited again. The narration is once again perfect and now there is no one else who can narrate a Pooh Bear story better!

I felt like a kid again listening to this, following along with Pooh Bear and Christopher Robin on their adventures. The sound effects added in the background while the narrator voiced our beloved characters so brilliantly was a great touch. This is going to become one of my top audiobooks to listen to when I need a laugh or when trying to fall asleep.

A great graphic novel shedding some light on who Mara Jade was before we meet her in Heir to the Empire and learn more of her past. The reader gets to see Mara as the Emperor's Hand conducting a mission and communicating with the Emperor in a way that was only described in the books. We also get to see the lead up to what she was doing before and during Return of the Jedi and how the Emperor's death effected her. Mara Jade is such a great character and it was fun to see something dedicated specifically to her and get deeper into her inner thoughts and how she goes about her missions and how skilled she was at being the Emperor's Hand.
