Well, this category is about books. Not just reading, but often for me, listening, as I do love audiobooks a lot. Although you can probably tell that by now.
I really enjoyed this 8th Doctor story, once again with Charlie as the companion. Whilst I always enjoy a good a good Dalek story, this one had an interesting story line and some good twists too.
There wasn’t much in the way of any continuation of the story arc sadly, just a brief mention at the end. But never mind, it was still a great story and that’s what counts.
I’m slowly getting my collection of 8th Doctor stories towards completion. Seasons of Fear is a good standard story. I like the Charlie character, she’s a good companion in these stories.
Another good audio book with Paul McGann. Some interesting concepts in this story with the 8th Doctor and Charlie, and a little extra on the overall story arc as well. Nice.
I found all my copies of the Unknown Public today. I’d forgotten about them for the most part, so I may decide to re-listen to the entire collection from January.
I wish that the Unknown Public hadn’t finished. It was such a good idea. It was meant to be a quarterly publication about new music. I don’t think it ever managed to be quarterly. At best you might see 2 a year published. It started in the 1990’s and is long gone now although the website still exists. As far as I can see it hasn’t been updated in a long time now, but never mind. The editions I have are still lovely.
I love this book. I have the paperback edition somewhere but I can’t find it right now, so I decided to buy the iBooks version as part of a plan to be able to make some of the circuits using iCircuit on my iPhone.
I realise that this sort of defeats the object, but when you’re on a train it isn’t easy (or advisable) to start soldering. There would be unpleasant consequences I should imagine.
Anyway, that’s my plan, and we’ll see how it works out, but if you don’t know this book, then it is excellent if you want to get into DIY electronics.
I finished listening to the 3rd part of this new 4th Doctor story today. I have to say it was very unusual indeed, but I really enjoyed it and I have no idea where the story is going now.
I’m hoping that the last 2 episodes will get released before Christmas. Something to look forward to right?
I’m really looking forward to getting this. I’ve enjoyed this series so far and this will be the third of 5. I hope that they all come out before the end of the year.
In January next year! And Big finish have the titles of some of the stories. You can find them at the pre-order page here.
So now I’m seriously thinking about ordering the lot.
I read the 4 books of the Saga of the exiles years ago, in fact a lot of years ago. Anyway, it’s one of these books that I’ve always thought about reading again, but I know I’d never get around to it. Then I found it as an audio book. Only the first book sadly, but I thought I’d get it anyway.
It’s fun so far, not wonderful. The story is ok, but the narration leaves something to be desired. I’ll probably stick with it, and my real hope is that they bring the other 3 books out as audio books too. If they don’t it’ll be a real shame.
I was really tempted to pre-order the new Tom Baker series of stories that are coming from Big Finish. Then I read a post at Tom Baker’s blog which said that they aren’t due to be released until Jan 2012!
I had really thought that they would be out much sooner, but I guess I have no option but to wait, and I’m sure that they’ll be really good. Still, I had hoped that these stories would come sooner.
