This is 5 short stories set in the world of Dr. Who with River Song. (I absolutely love Alex Kingston in this role btw.) Overall I enjoyed this a lot. However, one of them almost immediately felt like it was written by a man. Spoiler alert, it was. Which was unfortunate because it was a great premise. It was still a fun book though.

Getting a flat tire yesterday, at an inconvenient time, means new tires today. It hurts the wallet, but at least it is doable. I'm aware that not everyone has that privilege. And it does give me some reading time.

Eye of Heaven | Jim Mortimore
Mehso-so

A high So-So verging on low Pick. For the most part, Leela, who narrates most of the chapters, is rendered well, but her knowledge of sailing ships is not plausible to me (those bits felt like “research“). I also found the story was told just enough out of order to be disorienting chronologically.

I thought there was a challenge for a recipe and then trying it out. Now I can‘t find the original post.

Here‘s a “snowglobe” drink and the recipe. Super easy - my kind of cocktail!

Overall, a good collection. However, one author clearly does not knit or crochet, because at one point the story « Death in New Venice » refers to a « crochet needle » (it‘s a crochet HOOK, and it would not make a good stabbing implement). And of course this is the one thing I trip up on in a sci-fi story ?

This was pretty good, leaning into Seven‘s more manipulative side and presenting some truly horrifying Cybermen. Maybe don‘t read this when eating lunch 😅

A fun way to revisit the first two seasons of Sherlock.
