I’m reading Fear Death by Water right now. Imo, 15th Doctor’s books tends to be hit or miss, but I’m enjoying this new one for the moment

Tried to work out of this or Conundrum was better and couldn’t, so I guess I’m doing my first reread.
Review to follow shortly

That’s a great one for sure. Maybe the best thing Mark Gatiss has ever written for the franchise?!

Instruments of Darkness or Time’s Champion. Haven’t decided yet; whichever has fewer pages haha.
Edit: The former.

So… since that VNA will be the next in the Book Club, and I am already familar with one Version of the Story, I decided to pick up Birthright as my next VNA. Sadly I think this might be one of the lesser ones that I read so far, still have a good Chunk of it left.
Speaking of working through a Book, I am doing the same with Only Human, my NSA Speed has been very slow, but hey I am almost there!
Activiely reading also the EDA Dreamstone Moon and the VMA Time of your life, I might try and finally finish the Target Storybook around the next Month, considering I have only two Stories left.
Oh, and working on This Town will never let us go with Faction Paradox, considering how long I took with Dead Romance, I imagine the same will be true for that one 
…Yes I start too many Books, yes, I will try to finish them all (minus the FP one) next Month or at least plan to

How are you liking it? It didn’t tick any boxes for me, but I’m really not a fan of the cyberpunk/-esque novels the Virgin/BBC Books ranges constantly put out back then (amongst other reasons I didn’t care for the story). Grant is no Mel haha.

Only around Page 100 or so, so my Opinion on it can shift, but so far I rather like it! But then again my Experience with Sixie on Prose is limited to mainly Short Stories and the few Books I read with him sadly didn’t get me, this one is more like it! Don’t really have much of an Opinion on Grant, I must say, but maybe I will like Grant more when I get around Killing ground, hah!
I do get what you mean to me, it really depends on times with Cyberpunk-esque Stories, especially in Who. I do think this one works well enough, even if it’s necessarily my ideal Sixth Doctor Book so far, then again he is hard one to emulate on Prose in my Opinion anyways.

It just goes to show there’s a horse for every course. There’s always someone who likes something!
The more I read, the more I’m starting to realize that I’m not a DW novel person. Out of the thirteen Six books I’ve read (this isn’t counting Choose Your Own Adventures, novelizations, anthologies, or children’s books), I’ve only given four a rating better than three stars. Most are below that. It’s not a matter of characterization, but I just don’t care for how these books are structured. There’s always too many characters, the plot is convoluted and often just straight-up not interesting to me, and they’re too long so the story seems to extend past its welcome. The books that are good are really good, and the ones that aren’t are just a slog.

The classic DW issue: introducing a million pointless side characters who take up half the book for no reason just to die pointlessly at the end

I’ve started on Sick Building ahead of tomorrow’s Book Club. Paul Magrs, an ice planet, Ten and Martha, and a sandworm from Dune - what could possibly go wrong?!

Sounds intriguing! I might start the audio book tomorrow then

I’ll do my math on this:
- Paul Margs?
- Ice Planet?
- Ten?
- Martha?
- Dune Sandworm?
The s have it
