Welcome to Litsy!

I've been re-watching a lot of Dr. Who lately. New and old. I'm also going to listen to the tagged book after my current audiobook. And I might have also ordered a copy from ebay. If you press the button on K-9's back he says "Affirmative Master".

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.

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.

Dalek Empire 3.3: The Survivors was my December pick for #12BooksOf2024. It was a really good listen and has me racing through this story arc a little faster than I normally read audiobooks!

This was such a good installment of Dalek Empire! David Tennant does an excellent job as Galanar, and the dramatic cliffhangers continue to pile up. I refreshed my memory of earlier Dalek Empire arcs, and this is building on the story really well.

I love these stories. My favorites are All I Want For Christmas, The Red Bicycle & The Gift 💙

This is the novelization of Rose, the restart episode for the newer Doctor Who. It was good, but some of the additions seemed a little trite.

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!

Say WHAT! That ending was a jaw-dropper. Nice work.
