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.

The trouble with reading an excellent, supremely funny book is that I could probably read the whole thing aloud to passerby (though some of it not while small, parroting children are present), and as such, I could flip open just about any page and excerpt it here. Shukert never falls into the navel-gazing, “look how important and witty I am” trap that other memorists might — she is who she is, and that’s how she writes. It’s refreshing, having an author talk about both good times and also the most embarrassing, since any good writer knows that the humiliating stuff is really just more writing fodder.<br><br><br>This is not a group-hug, Elizabeth Gilbert-style memoir, and the world is better for it.<br><br><br>(Full review can be found at <a href="http://glorifiedloveletters.blogspot.com/2010/09/everything-is-going-to-be-great-by.html">Glorified Love Letters</a>.)

Rated Doctor Who: Time Lord Victorious - The Enemy of My Enemy 8/10
A great part 2 to this Eighth Doctor trilogy. And all that dark wave music! I'm looking forward to the next one, and then jumping into some of the Tenth Doctor elements of this storyline.
Rated Doctor Who: Trouble in Paradise 8/10
This was pretty good and reminded me I should listen to more of the Sixth Doctor adventures. I'm glad they made Columbus an asshole (to put it lightly), just as he was in real life.

Rated Electric Literature No. 6 6/10
After absolutely loving No.5, I had high hopes going into the latest volume of Electric Literature. Perhaps too high, as no ongoing literary magazine is going to be loved by a specific reader every single time. No.6 links together five stories of quiet resignation and detached violence, and though I found the stories and characters interesting enough to keep going, they did not stay with me. They're perfectly fine, well-written stories, but their complications were not the sort of complications I typically enjoy. <br><br>But wait... It's not all bad!
