Rated The War Master: The Master of Callous 8/10
Properly unsettling, as a good Master story should be, though I do wish there was a bit more of him in it.

Rated This World Our Hell 8/10
Good, but I wished it was longer.
Rated Doctor Who: The Oseidon Adventure 6/10
Not bad. Enjoyed having the Master around to ham around with the Doctor.

Don Quixote is often cited as the first modern #novel - a book about a man who reads so much he starts living inside stories.

Rated The Wife and Other Stories 8/10
I think I liked "About Love" and the title story the best, but I suspect I may be more of a Bulgakov gal.
Rated Torchwood: The Grey Mare 10/10
<div>A good spooky Christmas story with Ianto. Have yet to go wrong with a Ianto-centered Torchwood story.</div>
Rated Torchwood: The Crown 10/10
<div>I very much enjoy the Queen Victoria installments of Torchwood. This is a good spooky Christmas Eve story.</div>

“Can you understand? Someone, somewhere, can you understand me a little, love me a little? For all my despair, for all my ideals, for all that – I love life. But it is hard, and I have so much – so very much to learn.”

Rated Torchwood: Uncanny Valley 8/10
Jack Harkness has hate-sex with a queer robot designed to look like a well-known billionaire? Yes, this sounds like Torchwood.
Rated The Name of the Star 10/10
I really enjoyed this and would enjoy reading the rest of the books in the series. Well-written, often funny, and the sort of book you point at in arguments against people who disparage YA.
Rated Torchwood: A Postcard From Mr Colchester 7/10
<div>Wish it was longer, but for a freebie, this was amusing. I wasn't previously acquainted with this Torchwood character.</div>
Wants to read The Organ Grinders
Rated UNIT: Silenced 9/10
<div>The Silents are definitely among the most creepy Doctor Who villains. Best UNIT standalone I think I've heard, tbh.</div>
Rated They Came to Baghdad 6/10
Rated Necessary Trouble: Americans In Revolt 8/10
This is terrific. An overview of protest, activism and radicalism in the years since the financial crisis, weaving together a strong argument from threads like Black Lives Matter, the Tea Party, fast food and retail worker organizing and Occupy. Serious, wide-ranging and well-researched, but manages to be a brief, fast read - lots of elegantly-put truth bombs. She puts the activists she talks with in historical and economic context and illustrates how systems like the housing industry, student loans, police and courts work to distribute power upward. I like especially that this is not just disaster porn, the opening chapter to some dystopian novel - Jaffe is angry about important things but an optimist too, and she spends her time talking to the people who are fighting and winning some concrete victories. Highly recommend.
