Complete Star Wars Novel and Review Index

This is the full list of the books and e-books we're reading, sorted by in-universe chronology. The Expanded Universe sets all dates as relative to the Battle of Yavin, which is the pivotal battle in which Luke Skywalker and friends destroy the Death Star in the original movie. This list shows dates as Before Battle of Yavin (BBY) and After Battle of Yavin (ABY).

When we started the Rancors Love to Read program on May 25, 2006, we had a list of 96 books that were currently available. The original intent was to stick to that list the whole way, since new books are constantly being published that may or may not fit where we are in the overall chronology. However, we've ended up reading new books as they are published (with the exception of the new books at the far end of the timeline: we'll read those in their natural order when we get there).

This list mirrors the sequence and dating presented in the official Del Rey timeline at the front of most Star Wars novels.
