Doctor Who: The Legends of River Song
Doctor Who: The Legends of River Song | Jenny T. Colgan, Jacqueline Rayner, Andrew Lane, Steve Lyons, Guy Adams
32 posts | 14 read | 27 to read
Hello, sweetie! Melody Pond, Melody Malone, River Song...She has had many names. Whoever she really is, this archaeologist and time traveller has had more adventures (and got into more trouble) than most people in the universe. And shes written a lot of it down. Well, when youre married to a Time Lord (or possibly not), you have to keep track of what you did and when. Especially as it may not actually have happened to both of you yet. These are just a few of River Songs exploits, extracted from her journals. Sometimes, she is with the Doctor. Sometimes shes on her own. But wherever and whenever she may be, she is never far from danger and excitement. This is just a tiny portion of her impossible life. But it will reveal more than youve ever known about the legend that is River Song.

Overall, a good collection. However, one author clearly does not knit or crochet, because at one point the story « Death in New Venice » refers to a « crochet needle » (it‘s a crochet HOOK, and it would not make a good stabbing implement). And of course this is the one thing I trip up on in a sci-fi story ?

Happy DrWhosday! I didn't want to start another book with The Monster Baru Coromant about to come out, but I needed something to read on a plane so I decided to start this short story collection knowing I could stop midway through. So far it's just okay. Some things translate well from screen to page, but Alex Kingston's performance (and glorious hair) doesn't appear to be one of them.

Um, no. Once the Doctor deletes himself from everybody's memories of the timeline, they let River go. Can't keep her incarcerated for killing someone who's never existed.

Wut? Are you kidding me? And on the next page she thinks she should have a child now because she isn't getting any younger. There are so many things wrong with this! Where is the real River Song? What was this author smoking?

rabbitprincess Not cool! (But I did like your use of the spoiler tag on this post. Very appropriate for River 😉) 7y
Leniverse @rabbitprincess Yes, I think all posts about this book should have the spoiler tag. 😂 7y

Dopo averla rivista ne "Le Ombre Assassine" (la sua prima apparizione nella serie, straziante se si conosce la storia) è stato immediato voler leggere questi racconti che mi aspettavano sulla mensola....
Spero un giorno nel diario completo ❤

Two of my #favoritecovers feature my two favorite characters from Doctor Who. I love reading the stories from characters who aren't in every episode to see what they're up to when the Doctor isn't around. 💙💙#riotgrams

The best romantic pairing on Doctor Who is the Eleventh Doctor and River Song (sorry Rose Tyler fans). While River's introduction came in a Tenth Doctor story and her final (?) appearance was with the Twelfth, River's best moments were alongside Matt Smith. Their chemistry was off the charts, and for the first time since Romana it felt like the Doctor had a partner who was not only his equal but his better half.

Picture for attention - does anyone else get unreasonably angry (or sad) over spoilers? I mean, I don't get upset if the book is decades old or something, but come on - if a book just came out this last year, I should be able to scroll through #bookstagram without having huge plot points spoiled. 😞

On another note, does anyone else adore River like I do? #goals 😍#doctorwho #whovian

Suzze Don't watch Dr. Who, but I can't look at her (forget her name) without thinking of ER. 8y
howlinglibraries @Suzze That's how it was for me at first, too! 8y
PnwBookworm Love River! And I haven't had any books spoiled on bookstagram but I would be really annoyed if it happened. I'd probably unfollow someone who posted a spoiler without at least warning the caption contained on. 8y

It's Dr Whosday and I'm currently listening to the second series of The Diary of River Song which features the Sixth and Seventh Doctors! I love that the Seventh Doctor, upon learning River is an archeologist, mentioned his *other* archeologist friend (Benny) since it's widely presumed that Professor Song was based at least in part on Professor Bernice Summerfield. Still three episodes to go, but so far I'm really enjoying this box set!

Crinoline_Laphroaig There are River Song books! Squealing! How could I not know that???? 8y
saresmoore @missnavigation I know, right?! I found this one randomly on Amazon. It's a collection of short stories by various authors from River's perspective. (I mean as far as I can tell since I haven't read it!) 8y
Laura317 It is pretty good! Not great, but good. 8y

When I purchased this, I didn't realize it was a collection of short stories. All are written by authors who have experience writing in the Doctor Who world. The first story was the weakest, mainly because it felt more like a children's story than anything else.

If you are a fan of Doctor Who, and especially River, you will enjoy this book. A quick and easy read, it is fun to see what River does when she is not running around with the Doctor.

Laura317 Loved this book! 8y

After posting about River Song last week, I started listening to the first series of Big Finish's Diary Of River Song audio play. I'm one episode in, and it's very fun. Nice to see River going solo, although the Doctor will be making an appearance in the finale.

Oh River Song, how I adore you. Easily my favourite New Who creation, River is the only person who can keep up with the 2,000 year old Time Lord. And while we likely saw her last on-screen appearance this past Christmas, the folks at Big Finish are now producing River audio adventures! 👠💄📘🚀🎶=💁

Trav I love River Song! She had such great chemistry with Peter Capaldi. 8y
Anton @Trav I know! I'd love to think we'll see more of that pairing, but the Christmas special felt very final (of course, so did The Name of the Doctor). In the audio plays she's met Paul McGann (next up in my audio queue) and she'll be meeting Sylvester McCoy & Colin Baker next year! 8y
Trav Moffat said in an interview last year that River Song 'cannot be killed off', so I'm hopeful she will return at some stage down the track, even though the Christmas special did feel like the perfect send-off. I will check them out -- thank goodness for audio plays! 8y

I adored this book of 5 short stories. They read as journal entries in River Song's diary. Although written by 5 different authors, I could easily hear River's voice clearly in the writing. All in all, a quick, delightful read for Doctor Who fans.
