Finally found the time to finish The Empire of Glass! Such a good book, the historical detail was great and also, BRAXIATEL 
Steven and Marlowe definitely kissed, right?

Halfway through ‘The Taking of Planet 5’. I have read it before, ages and ages ago, because a friend had a copy (that I should have stolen, but didn’t). I remembered very little except that it was confusing (I thought all the war stuff they talked about was the revival’s Time War, for instance), but that I liked it. Happy to say it makes a loooot more sense now with the context of the earlier EDAs, particularly ‘Alien Bodies’ and ‘Interference’. Loving it so far!

I’m about a third of the way into “The Minister of Chance”.
I am not quite sure if I really get what is going on yet, but it is building a really great world which interweaves science and magic (without feeling steampunk-y).
The prose flows in a really good way and is gripping. We’re off to a good start 
I haven’t heard the audios, but this is a novelisation of those right?
( @turlough is probably the one to ask here 
)

Yeah it’s a novelisation of the audios, I preferred the novel tbh as the science and magic you mention feel a lot more real and well developed

But while reading I can imagine the Minister is voiced by Stephen Fry

Night of the Humans was good.
I’d say I got through it really quickly.

Since my Marvel comics reading project currently has me at the equivalent of 20th June 1964 (the day the first episode of The Sensorites aired), I’ve decided to wait to watch it until I’m a bit further along, so I’m going to read the 1964 Dalek Annual, ‘The Dalek Book,’ today instead.

Continuing my EDA journey with ‘Frontier Worlds’ (EDA #29). I think this one now holds the record for how fast the Doctor gets badly injured: page 15, or at 3% of the book according to my Kindle.

Well, I enjoyed the TV story, and the novelisation is a great adaptation of it. King James is such a fun character!
I look forward to reading my first original 13th Doctor novel!

Close to the end of Seven Deadly Sins. I’m finding the framing device really interesting, and most of the stories have been pretty good! Only one more to go now…

Finished Short Trips: Seven Deadly Sins!
It was a fun collection. The framing device was fun and interesting, though it did get a bit stayed after a while; I was surprised and pleased when the sixth story turned out to be a prequel to the framing device.
The highlight of the book was easily Suitors, Inc by Paul Magrs. A delightful romp where (slightly nsfw?) Iris Wildthyme makes pleasure-robots in the shape of Four and Three! Hilarious, but more importantly got the characters of Four, Romana, K9, Sarah and Harry exactly right. I loved that Four and Romana take the time to just go out for an Italian in one scene. Of course they do. And K9 is jealous…
A fun anthology all round! Looking forward to Farewells which I’ll read in a bit.
