Hello again, Readers!
If you have an interest in wine, especially local Loudoun County wineries, and you enjoy a good book, hanging out with other women enjoying wine, and talking about books as well as socializing, then this group is for you! Very relaxed, fun, and no pressure.
Loudoun County Women’s Wine and Books Meetup meets mothly to discuss a book over WINE first and foremost. We do end up at other places like cideries, even breweries on occasion. We stay local, in Loudoun County Virginia.
There’s a plethora of books the group reads, since we change it up monthly, but we usually don’t have a theme. Or a timeframe for when that book was written. For example, we’re going to be reading Agatha Christie’s Mysterious Affair at Styles for her 100th anniversary of publishing the book.
Now, into the nerd portion of this post…
Part of the sublevels of the Great Library complex on Ossus, the Chamber of Antiquities referred to the labyrinth of vaults and rooms that made up the second sublevel. Accessed by two lifts from the first sublevel, the level was offlimits to most visitors, as it contained the most dangerous items within the collection. Overseen by the Keeper of Antiquities, this being alone could grant a curious Jedi access to the collection. Among the treasures held within the vaults were dark side lore, including Sith holocron, the earliest known documents relating to the Jedi Order, and other sacred tomes. Several heritage tapestries detailing a pictorial history of the First and Second Great Schisms were kept on the walls, along with hard copies of ancient star-charts. During the Massacre at Ossus, Dark Lord of the Sith Exar Kun violated the Chamber of Antiquities and assaulted and murdered Odan-Urr before stealing the Dark Holocron from him and leaving his corpse to rot. When the Cron Supernova rendered Ossus inhospitable soon after, the Chamber and the rest of the Great Library’s sublevels became tomblike, preserving the ancient tomes for millennia. By the time of the Galactic Civil War, Odan-Urr’s skeleton still remained sprawled at the feet of his great chair in his office, while two stone guardians stood as silent sentinels to protect the chamber from intruders.

These tomes were destroyed in the latest Skywalger Saga trilogy, but if we know anything about the universe at this point, its that nothing is truly missing – just look at Luke and Yoda!
Recently, I made some purchases of great books for my collection:
- Star Wars – Trilogy
- Star Wars – The Han Solo Trilogy
