Rated Doctor Who: Travel in Hope 8/10
<div>I was maybe a little less into the middle story, "The Butler Did It," compared to the others, but it's still good. I'm always very happy to have new Ninth Doctor stories.</div>

Rated Doctor Who: Trial of the Valeyard 10/10
Very much enjoyed this, and it adds some context to the "12 regenerations only" myth that had to be tinkered with because the show lasted so long!
Finished reading Nettle & Bone
Rated Doctor Who: The Maltese Penguin 6/10
An amusing noir and my first exposure to Frobisher the penguin, though I was aware of his existence prior.
Rated Doctor Who: The Next Life 6/10
A bit drawn out, though there's some nice revelatory background bits.
Rated Doctor Who: The Legacy of Time 10/10
I loved this! Sure, there were some stories within that were a little more my jam than others, but it was all great. I loved having a bunch of the women there too, being practical and kicking ass, and this was a really lovely way to celebrate Big Finish's 20th birthday. I won't say more so as not to spoil anything.

Rated Doctor Who: The Second Doctor Box Set 7/10
<div>Simon Guerrier does a good job sprucing up a '60s script for a modern audience in the first story, but if you know me, you know I mainly bought this because Jean Marsh narrates the Daleks pilot script in the second half of the release. I'll take any additional Sara Kingdom content I can get my mitts on.</div>
Rated Doctor Who: The Sword of the Chevalier 6/10
Rated Doctor Who: The Sixth Doctor - The Last Adventure 10/10
This was a great set of stories and eventual regeneration send-off for the Sixth Doctor. He finally gets his moment! All sorts of great companions too. I was very pleased to finally listen to this (though I waited until I was done with the Sixth Doctor's run in my recent Classic Who viewing).

Rated Doctor Who - The Vault: Treasures from the First 50 Years 10/10
Really great in a nuts-and-bolts, behind the scenes sort of way. This is not the book you want if you need detailed descriptions of every episode, but this is perfect for the overarching details and almost everything that has gone into making the show over the past 50 years. I could've used a little bit more on the Big Finish productions, since the Eighth Doctor content is so scant, but by the time this book was in production, I don't think they'd even made the audios canon yet through <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-U3jrS-uhuo">"Night of The Doctor."</a> But that's a small quibble because I am so Team Eighth Doctor. Otherwise, excellent stuff and worth the money for hopeless obsessives like myself.

Rated The Confessions of Dorian Gray: Isolation 6/10
An interesting, short one-off for these interesting times.

Rated Doctor Who: The Tenth Doctor Adventures, Volume 1 10/10
This was so great. As great as the best DoctorDonna TV episodes. I love that she calls him on his shit, and I love the great enthusiasm of their stories. The behind the scenes bits are also quite amusing.
