That is why my mother, &lt;a href=&quot;http://gohealthgirl.blogspot.com/2005/10/whos-that-health-girl-finally-photo.html&quot;&gt;Amy Jane&lt;/a&gt;, created this blog for me. And because she does NOT want to hear another word about Star Wars or the Star Wars books that I am reading from here on out or here on in.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;OK, obviously Jedi Jordan didn&#39;t write this. This was just to get the blog going. So here&#39;s to you Jedi Jordan- welcome to your BLOG! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~luv mum</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://read-star-wars-books.blogspot.com/feeds/112906889969825686/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/17741176/112906889969825686' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17741176/posts/default/112906889969825686'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17741176/posts/default/112906889969825686'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://read-star-wars-books.blogspot.com/2005/10/read-star-wars-books-with-me.html' title='Read Star Wars Books With Me!'/><author><name>(c) Amy J.
