Welcome to Litsy!

I don't mean to blow my own trumpet, but I'm a very fast reader, and good at filtering out gibberish....

Is Ludwig a Litsy member?

We've come to Durham for a few days' break, which means that the country has had a typical month's-worth of rain in one day! 🌧️☔ Expecting such weather as our usual lot, at least there's lots of indoor things to do.
Books will be bought on this trip, starting with these two that I got from the supermarket charity table ½ mile from my front door when we stopped for takeaway coffee for the journey 🤦‍♂️

These collected essays from Sandifer‘s Doctor Who blog have each series/season of the show deconstructed with critical reflections of the social & political climate at the time of release on both a personal & wider level. This isn‘t always as dry as it sounds but I did skip a few filler essays. This volume is number 4 but the 2nd I‘ve read (I wasn‘t born during Hartnell/Troughton years so skipped those books). I watch the show as I read the essays

80/150 I love Doctor Who, and I've enjoyed many of his written adventures, but this isn't one of them. Slow and tedious, I thought the author was building atmosphere, but then nothing much happened. The Cybermen never really come off as a scary threat, lumbering along like slow zombies, ultimately defeated by some last second techno babble on the Doctor's part. Also, I felt the story suffered because the Doctor was without a companion. ⬇️

In a landscape blend of all colour, Stefan was digging his own grave.

Another great Doctor Who short story narrated by David Tennant. This was my #DoubleSpin and my 2nd finished book for #SciFiSummer

"When I am in the country," he replied, "I never wish to leave it; and when I am in town it is pretty much the same. They have each their advantages, and I can be equally happy in either." Mr. Bingley - Chapter 9

#Pemberlittens Chiltern Classic another that needs added to the database. ?

"That is very true," replied Elizabeth, "and I could easily forgive his pride, if he had not mortified mine." - Chapter 5

#Pemberlittens today's Pride and Prejudice is beautiful edition that includes recipes from Martha Stewart and the most amazing cookie art.

I was craving a classic afternoon tea so in my cup is Twinings English Afternoon tea. ???

Yes I know this is a radio show from the BBC. It is on Audible and it is listed on Goodreads so I listened to it to get me out of a reading slump that I am in for the past couple of days. I rated this a 5 out of 5 stars. I just love Benedict Cumberbatch!!! I listened to it on YouTube.

A soft Pick for this because I do love a Moon-based Doctor Who story and Eleven was credible, but the mechanism for alien invasion was not entirely satisfactory.
