Rated The Atheist's Guide to Christmas: Smart, Funny Essays on Atheism and Surviving the Holiday Season 8/10
Peppered with humor, it’s a quick, entertaining read. Probably what I enjoyed most about it was its reasoned, un-snarky approach to the subject matter. At no point does it devolve into petulant student arguments against religion, which are as bad as angry chuch-going judgements.<br><br>Its content is varied enough to provide some intellectual fodder for most everyone, save the super-religious who won’t hear otherwise. It’s not an attack, just another way of thinking. Though we may be past Christmas now, I think it’s still a worthwhile winter read.<br><br>(Full review can be found at <a href="http://glorifiedloveletters.blogspot.com/2010/12/atheists-guide-to-christmas-edited-by.html">Glorified Love Letters</a>)

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>

Rated Doctor Who: The Resurrection of Mars 10/10
Okay, this Part 2 vastly made up for my mediocre feelings for Part 1 (Deimos). Companion shake-ups! Classic villains! Moral quandaries! All that good stuff.

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.
