I’d be down to do Benny

Maybe try the Big Finish adaptation of Love and War to get the story and the voices in your head and then go back to the print to get everything that didn’t make it into the audio.

I really love the Love and War adaptation. It’s a great piece of work, and definitely slims the story down to the essentials.

Apologies also for how hetero-normative this joke is.
I’m aware there may well have been a whole group of fandom more interested in touching Abslom Daak than Benny or Ace…
Or any other possible combination…

Yes, I know how ridiculous the situation is. Especially I haven’t opened any of them in the last three days yet now I’m reading Vampire Science for the third time. I can’t stop thinking about Dr. Shackle now…

I’ve started on the NSA Wishing Well. Interesting premise so far,and I’m hoping that it’ll be good, because I’ve liked all of the 10 and Martha NSAs I’ve read.

Read some comics for the Comic Club yesterday. Might continue today. I am hoping to catch up before the next club.

In a quest to confuse myself as much as possible I began the Faction Paradox range recently, having finished and loved Alien Bodies. The Book of the War is absolutely fantastic so far, some genuinely genius ideas and the encyclopaedia format instead instead of having the War in Heaven told chronologically is really testing me in the best way possible. I’m looking into getting into the rest of the novels after The Book of the War and was hoping to ask, does anyone know how chronological these books are? I know it’s kinda hard to tell with the nature of the characters, but I was just wondering if I had to read them all in order or if I could jump straight to some of the later ones that sounded more interesting

Read the Thrawn comic last night. Good art and a decent condensing of the novel. Thrawn as always was brilliant.

Finished Storybook 2008. My favorite is definitely the Christmas story The Box Under the Tree, my least favorite being Kiss of Life, only because it was too much of a direct lift-and-shift of Cinderella (I’m down on Time Lord Fairy Tales for much the same reason, too many stories are too much of a copy).
Anyway, I’m finding these Storybooks well worth my time, and it seems a shame someone seemed to think only Tennant could sustain them.

Stephen Cole isn’t a writer who I am particularly enamoured with per say, but I found Longest Day (written under one of his pseudonyms) to actually be a pretty entertaining read.
It’s not spectacular - a lot of it drags - but it feels very classic sci-fi and actually makes Sam interesting as a character.
Definitely not deserving of it’s massively low score on TARDISguide and it’s made me very excited for the rest of the Finding Sam arc
(oh wait, the next book is written by John Peel, never mind)
Full review here, if you enjoy, feel free to drop a like:

Totally agree that Longest Day is underrated! There are some great, weird sci-fi ideas in there.
I purposefully skipped Legacy of the Daleks because I couldn’t face another Peel book, but Dreamstone Moon is a great piece of world building (and also really underrated imo) and Seeing I is a downright classic and one of my favourite Who stories. Plus, if you’re frustrated with Sam’s character, Seeing I does a lot of fantastic character work with her!

I actually enjoyed Peel’s Dalek books. War of the Daleks, despite the continuity overhaul, is a fun action movie of a novel with Davros, Eight, Thalls, and a Dalek Civil War.
Legacy of the Daleks is interesting sequel to Dalek Invasion of Earth with some interesting ideas about England dividing up between feudal lords with a very different fate for Susan from what Big Finish gave us and the Delgado Master in what becomes a prequel to Deadly Assassin.

That is great because those first seven books (Alien Bodies excluded) we’re real rough, especially with when it came to Sam Jones.
She just felt to me like an amalgam of other, better companions.

Started reading The Cradle from The Decades Collection.
Has been very engaging so far. Wasn’t expecting one of these stories to deal with such heavy subject matter.

Nearing the end of my NA journey, on that mythical doctor who book known as Lungbarrow. So far it’s quite good, the stuff with the doctor’s cousin’s in their house is reminiscent of Ghostlight. And the Leela and Romana sections feel like a secret extra Gallifrey episode set between Zagreus and Weapon of Choice.

(And if we ask @BillFiler, I am also reading The Day of the Doctor novelisation).
