I recommend you give it another chance at some point, I adore that book to bits!

I’ve just finished ‘To the Death’, 8DAs season 4 finale. I’m just… devastated, I think is the word. God. Real, proper tears, sobs and everything. What a great season this was.
Monk, if I ever catch you, it’s on sight

To The Death literally ruined me… I’ve rarely cried so much at an audio, ever

I plan on it at some point, but I feel it’s one I’ll need to read instead of listen to.

Started listening to The Ravenmaster today. It’s really good. Read by author, a Yeoman Warder originally from Dover, it’s an easy listen that’s a lot of fun to listen to.

Realised I forgot to do that Creatures of Beauty relisten for the audio club, so started it now as I do some late night cleaning in advance of a flat inspection Thursday

Decided after having seen The Savages today I would finally dip into the 1DA’s with The Living Darkness. I went in not knowing any story details, so was quite surprised at the tone they went with this one. I’d only previously heard Noonan in special releases like Deathworld, but thought he was really great here. I definitely want to hear the other Noonan 1DA’s now!
My (unusually) long review below!

Just listened to Hooklight. Im not usually a fan of the 5th Doctor, and it can be confusing at times but bloody hell its brilliant.
Its definitely one of the best releases so far this year.

I just finished the “Previously, Next Time” two-parter (Time War 5)
It fits perfectly with the rest of Time War 5: Cass - good but unremarkable.
What was the point of bringing back Cass, in a box-set season with her name as the title, and then basically do nothing spectacular with her?
And the Doctor is being incredibly blasé about having Alex travel with him after what happened last time they were together…
Here’s hoping Time War 6 has more oomph to it

Disclaimer from video description:
As we typically do, we recreated all of the lyrics for this song, which meant including the insensitively worded opening line of the second verse. We’re aware the line was deliberately removed from the scene in “The Giggle”, but it came across really weirdly when we tried to excise it ourselves. It’s there for completion’s sake only and no offence is intended on our part.

Finished The Sands of Life. Been ages since I’ve listened to this one.

Listened to Dark Watchers of California. A beautiful little tale which has so much trans energy in it, I deeply enjoyed it and found it quite moving and learnt a new piece of history.

This morning, The Evil One and Last of the Colophon.
The former had some interesting elements and a couple of bits that amused me. The latter just didn’t pique my interest for most of the runtime, though I did get more out of it towards the end.

I started to listen Doctor Who: Short Trips Volume 1 today. First audio story in many months.
I will listen Volume 2 tomorrow, I think.

Been feeling sick the last couple days and I see I’m in for another bed/sofa home day.
On the third episode of The Ninth Doctor Chronicles and listening to this while being sick like this is giving an interesting sense of nostalgia, think I’ll throw on an audio with Eccleston in it later.
Continuing Emancipation of the Daleks, halfway through. Quite dark but I like it. I do find my mind wandering sometimes, but it’s definitely an ambitious story.
Protect and Survive. OMG. A new favourite, so incredibly dark and I adore how the story unravels. Peak Seventh Doctor. I like Nuclear Apocalypse fiction so this was such a story for me and while not one I’ll probably revisit for a while as it is intense, it’s a story I’ll definitely return to.
