"When I am in the country," he replied, "I never wish to leave it; and when I am in town it is pretty much the same. They have each their advantages, and I can be equally happy in either." Mr. Bingley - Chapter 9

pickYes I know this is a radio show from the BBC. It is on Audible and it is listed on Goodreads so I listened to it to get me out of a reading slump that I am in for the past couple of days. I rated this a 5 out of 5 stars. I just love Benedict Cumberbatch!!! I listened to it on YouTube.
pickA 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.

so-soI 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.
pickEntertaining 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.
pickThis 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!

pickI 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.
