Rated Auberon 8/10
<div>Okay! I started out thinking this book was post-book 6, then realized it wasn't, put it down, read Book 7, then read this and realized it's post Book 8, BUT I don't think I've spoiled myself on anything that didn't seem like it was coming anyway, plotwise. It's separate enough of a story. Outside of all that, I very much found this interesting and I'm curious to see how it relates to Book 8, once I get on that.</div>
Rated ATA Girl 2 10/10
<div>Maybe it's because this set has only has 2 instead of 4 stories — or maybe because I was better acquainted with some of the characters, having just listened to the first set — but everyone was much easier to differentiate this time around. Loose ends from the previous installment are wrapped up, the story content remains strong, and I enjoyed listening a lot.</div><div><br></div>
Rated Barnyard Battle 7/10
<div>Read this (possibly a reread?) for a "Childhood Fav" category in a reading challenge I've been doing this year. I read every Sweet Valley book I could get my hands on in elementary school, and these characters still felt quite familiar 30+ years later. Lila sucks as a friend! The boys have early 90s misogynistic ideas! Jessica is a bit of a brat! I had also completely forgotten they have an older brother.<br><br>Read it all in about 90 minutes. Not a terrible way to spend an evening. </div>
Rated Clay's Ark 8/10
<div>This was a strange, but interesting one. I'm unsure yet how it fits in with the previous two books in this series, but we'll see with the last book. All the content warnings though, whew.</div>
Rated Dalek Empire I: Chapter Four - Project Infinity 8/10
In the end, this series ended up being pretty enjoyable. Not one of my favorite Doctor Who universe[s] stories, but worth listening to via Spotify.
Wants to read Beautiful Shadow: A Life of Patricia Highsmith
Rated Bernice Summerfield: Treasury 8/10
<div>A solid collection of Benny short stories. Figures that Stephen Moffat's is another "boy has mysterious lady in his life" (AND there's a character named Irene!), but the man knows what he likes writing, I guess!!</div>
Wants to read Classifieds: An Anthology of Prose Poems
Rated Black and Blue 8/10
<div>A good mystery, though not everything from the mid-'90s holds up today</div>
Rated Bobby March Will Live Forever 8/10
<div>I really enjoy this series, even when there are a couple of plot points that conveniently tie up some loose ends.</div>
Rated Doctor Who: Memory Lane 8/10
More about memory, so I hope this eventually leads to some sort of conclusion.
Rated Bloody January 8/10
<div>A really solid, suspenseful mystery, but WHEW is it GRIM.</div>
Rated Broken Ground 7/10
<div>This one's not quite as good as some of the others, but it was fine. The research seams show too much, and I wasn't as invested in the case.</div>
Rated Come Away 8/10
Good, with lots of wonderfully written passages, though some bits felt incomplete in a way I haven't yet been able to put my finger on. Review forthcoming.
