 Novelizations are in a sort of grey area right now. I haven't seen any official comment on their canon/non-canon status since the "Legends" business. Same with the radio dramas.

The novelizations of the seven films--including The Clone Wars--are canon.

To clarify, movie novelizations are canon where they align with what is seen on screen in the 6 films and the Clone Wars animated movie.

As for myself, I too have my own personal canon. But I don't discount the importance of there being an official canon. They need a clear timeline going forward so that they can remain internally consistent and not start having to retcon themselves every other week as the case was in the old EU.
