That cover is gorgeous!!!

Can’t wait to get to the Fifteenth Doctor NSAs I haven’t read yet, these Tenth Doctor ones can be a bit of a slog

They really are hit or miss. They feel mass-produced.

Almost half of the NSAs[1] are Tenth Doctor ones. I’m not surprise that they are very up-and-down quality-wise!

I feel like they made about 100 for him,
Always seeing them in charity shops.
Wish they made some more for 11 12 and 13

It was when the show was at its peak popularity-wise, so it makes sense. But it is a shame that 13 only got three. Fortunately, she got some other types of books as well.

I would love the BBC to do a version of the Past Doctor Adventures, so we could get some more novels for the modern Doctors who had less

I kind of hope that we get that next year.

The tenth doctor NSAs vary WILDLY in quality. When they’re bad they’re really bad. The majority of mid. A handful are them are some of my favorite pieces of Doctor Who media across any medium. I think when I finish them I’m going to compile some sort of list of “skip these, these are good if you’re just looking for more ten content (even if it’s sort of mid), and these are amazing.” The NSAs also moved Martha Jones up from my second favorite companion to probably tied for first. Her character gets expanded on so much more in some of those books. Martha “he wasn’t a proper doctor, but she was” Jones. Martha “twisted sense of duty” Jones. Martha “figurehead of the rebellion” Jones. (First two quotes from Pirate Loop, third one from The Story of Martha).

Read Ruby Red today because I’m still in mourning. Really, really good! Felt like it could have slotted right into s1 between TDC and Boom. Very unique setting too, and I loved the Space Amazon mercenaries.
