A fun short little adventure. I do love a bit of glam rock, and the stylophone is such a neat instrument. Bonus: Bernard « Wilf, Donna‘s granddad » Cribbins has a major role in this one.

And with that, Series 3 of Dalek Empire concludes. I continue to think Galanar displays some Tenth Doctor vibes at times. His last little speech had a touch of the Fifth about it (from “Earthshock”, where Five describes to the Cyber Leader the value of emotions).
Happy World Book Day! I actually finished a book today due to lucky timing. Even though I have the physical copy, I actually listened to this one on librofm. I couldn't resist since Tom Baker was the narrator. He was the 4th Dr. on the series and my first doctor. The story was solid and very much fit his zany vibe. There is an extra interview with Tom at the end of the physical copy, as well as the history of how the story came about.
Fun #foodandlit fact:

Watch an episode for #Rwanda!
More of a low Pick than some installments of this series, but still good for a quick listen.
As soon as I finish listening to The Simarillion, this will be my next audiobook. Tom Baker wrote AND recorded it, and I've only heard good things.
I've been re-watching a lot of Dr. Who lately. New and old. I'm also going to listen to the tagged book after my current audiobook. And I might have also ordered a copy from ebay. If you press the button on K-9's back he says "Affirmative Master".
This is 5 short stories set in the world of Dr. Who with River Song. (I absolutely love Alex Kingston in this role btw.) Overall I enjoyed this a lot. However, one of them almost immediately felt like it was written by a man. Spoiler alert, it was. Which was unfortunate because it was a great premise. It was still a fun book though.
Getting a flat tire yesterday, at an inconvenient time, means new tires today. It hurts the wallet, but at least it is doable. I'm aware that not everyone has that privilege. And it does give me some reading time.
A high So-So verging on low Pick. For the most part, Leela, who narrates most of the chapters, is rendered well, but her knowledge of sailing ships is not plausible to me (those bits felt like “research“). I also found the story was told just enough out of order to be disorienting chronologically.
