Rated Doctor Who: The Carrionite Curse 8/10
<div>Enjoyed this installment of Classic Doctors, New Monsters, but then, I have enjoyed all of Simon Guerrier's other Big Finish work so far, so I suppose this is not a surprise! </div>

Rated Doctor Who: The Eleventh Doctor, Vol. 1: After Life 10/10
Though I liked the IDW Doctor Who comics, the Titan-published ones are way more complex and have better artwork. I'm enjoying seeing where this story goes, and Alice is a great companion.
Rated Real Tigers 8/10
<div>I remembered the TV season better for this one, but still a good time.</div>

Rated The Best American Essays 1988 6/10
<div>I picked up this 34 year old collection of essays, along with the 1990 edition, during one of the times I went to our local school district's free book giveaway day (when they pull some older books from circulation). It sat around for a long time before this challenge, but I enjoyed reading it for the most part. Most everything holds up, and the lived history from some people who are (presumably) no longer alive was interesting to read. Fav essays include work from Anne Carson, Mary Lee Settle, and Paul Horgan.</div>
Rated The Cows 10/10
I love everything about this little chapbook. I first read this in Electric Literature, but loved it enough to buy the standalone copy. Perhaps this will only amuse/enamor a certain type of reader, but I am that reader.
Rated The Distant Echo 8/10
<div>What a difference a murder mystery written by a woman makes! No lingering breast descriptions, no looking women up and down as if it's the correct way of operating, actual thought put into having women police officers present, but hardly any lionization of the police in general. Not everything holds up (this came out in 2003), and some character choices are a bit abrupt, but overall, a good, solid book. I kinda saw the ending coming, but hey, I DO watch a lot of this stuff on TV.</div>

Rated Doctor Who: The Feast of Axos 8/10
Rated Doctor Who: The Elite 8/10
<div>I'm not usually a Fifth Doctor gal — he's fine! but there are others I gravitate to more often — but John Dorney wrote this, so I needn't have wondered if this was a good one. The Doctor is crankier with Tegan than normal, and it's interesting.</div>
