Doctor Who: Apollo 23 | Justin Richards
Pickpick

A soft Pick for this because I do love a Moon-based Doctor Who story and Eleven was credible, but the mechanism for alien invasion was not entirely satisfactory.

I am posting one book per day from my extensive, and ever growing, TBR shelves. Some are old and some are new, some were gifts and some I don't remember why I bought them.

Mehso-so

I find the cover art super creepy and don‘t like that the Doctor Who logo is absent. It makes the story look pulpy (which it is, but shhh). This is one of those Fourth Doctor and Sarah Jane ones where they get captured about four times and Sarah Jane nearly gets killed twice (not through anything she did, just the fact that she‘s travelling with the Doctor). It‘s a quick read and probably better if you‘ve watched and enjoyed the TV version.

Entertaining essays that analyse every story in Jon Pertwee‘s tenure as the 3rd Doctor. The pieces straddle socio/political, academic writings and playful critique (which stops the whole project being too dry). This is the first Doctor I remember & I got a Britbox subscription so I could simultaneously watch and read this book. I realise now my reverence of Doc 3 is based more on the great Target novelisations I read as the show was pretty naff.

Bookwomble The Green Death is the story I most remember with the Third Doctor. I'm not sure if my revulsion for maggots predates it or was caused by it! 3mo
The_Book_Ninja @Bookwomble Same here, maggots and spiders. The effects look terrible now though😬 3mo
Bookwomble @The_Book_Ninja Yeah, my kids just laugh at original Dr Who and Star Trek effects! The Fourth Doctor "The Ark in Space" bubble-wrap monster is a personal favourite ? And don't get me started on Blake's 7! (which I also fondly remember). 3mo
The_Book_Ninja @Bookwomble Blake‘s 7, great ideas but trapped in an era of cheap visual effects 3mo

This book is so much Douglas Adams! James Goss did an awesome job making a book out of different text fragments and documents. I had so much fun with this and loved how the characters evolved. And yes, this book made me laugh, just as every book by Douglas Adams does. Very well done, Mr. Goss!

I am not too familiar with the Fifth Doctor‘s adventures. I enjoyed this book and it made me want to check out his season. This book gave me Aliens vibes. The Dark as a character was very creepy. The Doctor was very fallible in this story.

My #BookSpin is The Pirate Planet and can't wait to read a Doctor Who book again. #DoubleSpin is a book I've wanted to read since it was published last autumn. Suisse Miniature by X Schneeberger. Also, I'm trying to get a #BookSpinBingo again - Fingers crossed!

@TheAromaOfBooks

Jari-chan @TheAromaofBooks Thank you ❤️ 3mo
