Rated Doctor Who: Short Trips - Volume 1 8/10
I dig these. They're more like short story audio-collections in that there is more narration than most of the Big Finish. Some stories are better than others, but overall this is a good set.
Rated Doctor Who: The Company of Friends 8/10
This was a lot of fun. <br><br>ETA: And just as much so on the second listen through.
Finished reading The Night Circus and Other Stories
Finished reading The Fallen
Rated Doctor Who: The Forgotten 8/10
More of a 3.5, but the Body Snatchers story was really excellent, so let's round up.
Rated Doctor Who: The Further Adventures of Lucie Miller 8/10
Quite enjoyable. Lucie is always a fun companion.
Rated Doctor Who Short Trips: War Stories 10/10
<div>This might be the best winner from the Paul Spragg contest yet.</div>

Rated Doctor Who: The Ninth Doctor Adventures - Star-Crossed 10/10
<div>One of the best sets of audio adventures featuring the Ninth Doctor.</div>

Rated Dolly Parton Songteller: My Life in Lyrics 8/10
<div>You're not going to get a deeply personal memoir from Dolly, but that's ok. She knows what she's about, and like she says, it all goes into her music anyway. This is still an interesting look at decades of songs — maybe not EVERY song, but LOTS of them, and I learned a lot. I listened to this via Audible streaming, so it's in her own words (with some transitions by Robert K. Oermann), and there are snippets of some of the songs. Worth a listen if Audible throws you a free month.</div>

Rated Doctor Who: Short Trips, Volume 4 8/10
All varying degrees of good, but I was a bit underwhelmed by the Seventh Doctor's story, "The Shadow Trader."<br><br>The Eighth Doctor's story, "Quantum Heresy," is probably the best, but K-9 shooting lasers at teenagers is "The Old Rogue" is pretty funny.

Finished reading We Computers: A Ghazal Novel
Rated Doctor Who: Stranded 1 10/10
Oh wow, this was super great. I love all the new characters and the idea of the Doctor having to slow himself down a little. Nice to see Andy and the Curator pop up too. Really looking forward to the next set of stories.
