Star Tales was alright, nothing special. (But there may have been a reference to The Turning of the Tide).
I bought The Missy Chronicles for the Thirteen story, and I was disappointed that she only had a tiny cameo.
But that can be excused when the stories are this fun!

Well, I have read The Mary-Sue Extrusion, but only when it was new. Can’t tell you anything much about it. I don’t think the narrator is any regular character, but I can’t promise that.

Thanks. I can’t even abandon it. My fan brain won’t let me, especially as I know it’s part of this final arc in the Benny books (and it would be gap on my TARDIS Guide!! 
)

Read the Monstrous Beauty collection last night. A solid collection with mostly good art and decent stories. And it really boosted this year’s comic percentage in my stats.

Oh I’ve done most of it when it was current (or shortly after[1]). Monstrous Beauty was the only major piece that I didn’t read because I didn’t subscribe to DWM and it’s only just recently that it’s been collected in a form I could get my hands on.
depending on how soon my library could get the books ↩︎

Just finished Dead Romance recently after taking quite a bit with it. Certainly an odd Choice as a third VNA, but I still have to say that I quite enjoyed it, especially as an Entry for FP. Probably need to sit on it before I could probably articulate my Thoughts on it, but really good! Highly recommend it!
Especially, reading the Foreword from Miles in the Reprint was quite interesting. Seeing Miles’s Thoughts about his own Work was quite good to read, I wish this was done more with reprints, where said Author (if they want to/are able to) can reflect on said Work.

Started Option Lock as I have been craving another EDA and around 40 pages in I am enjoying it very much.

I just finished the last 100 pages of “The Maze of Doom”.
I have really enjoyed the two David Solomons books (the other is "The Secret in Vault 13 ")
He has a really witty writing style paired with a clear fannish love of Doctor Who.
This might be the best Nimon story out there.
And I love how all of the Fam gets something to do. Graham doing bus shenanigans was hilarious
The paradox phone call from the Doctor to Yaz was a nice touch, and worked much better than 15 giving himself the code in the Time Hotel in “Joy to the World”
4,5/5 
I definitely recommend these two books

I want to complete all the War Doctor stories so have done a couple of short stories I hadn’t done, The Third Wise Man and Decoy, over the last couple days, and am going to begin making my way through the comics where he appears, though it may take a while to get to them.
Also around a 100 pages into Option Lock now and loving it!

I’ve read the two first short stories from “Star Tales”.
“Chasing the Dawn” by Jenny T. Colgan featuring Amelia Earhart was a really good shout tale. I love how it was presented like the Thirteenth Doctor caring for Yaz and telling her a story from when she was the Eleventh Doctor.
4/5 from me.
“That’s All Right, Mama” by Paul Margs featuring Elvis Presley was well-written and had a nice idea at it’s core but fell a bit short for me, and I never really connected emotionally to what was going on. 3/5

I started and finished The Harvest of Time, a Third Doctor novel, on my cruise. I found it good, if not incredible.
In other words, I was reading Pertwee at sea.

My favourite part of that story was when the tides came in.
Because, well, you know…

Is that story a codename for Turning of the Tide?

Sadly not but I genuinely laughed at loud at what was definitely[1] a reference to Turning
it was just a coincidence ↩︎

Finished Anachrophobia and I think it’s one of my favourites from the Eighth Doctor Adventures series so far. Maybe not the favourite - that goes to Unnatural History and is a hard act to follow - but definitely up there. It’s slow and creeping, with some really nice body horror and time-travel-y shenanigans
