pickI love these novels. In this one, the First Doctor meets the Twelveth Doctor, a lost WWI captain and a mysterious Glass Woman. Both of the Doctors are struggling with regeneration, and the best part is that we finally get to find out what happened to Bill after she was rescued from the cybermen 💙
pickGood book about the BBC in the 1920s and the start of radio. Also a bit of an espionage book but I enjoyed learning about early BBC and the radio the most. To think the radio was scary for some is interesting to think about when looking at the technology we have today. This book had more dialog in it than I'm used to - but it suited the book well. Seems like it is slow moving but the years are passing by in the story. Overall I enjoyed the book.
We were supposed to be doing a Lilo and Stich movie night but our youngest decided she wasn't in the mood for a movie. So now our eldest and dad are watching one of the Jurassic Park movies, our youngest is playing with her paw patrol toys in her room and I get to sneak in some backyard reading with this book! Hoping I get to learn a bit about the history of BBC and the radio.
pickHappy World Book Day! I actually finished a book today due to lucky timing. Even though I have the physical copy, I actually listened to this one on librofm. I couldn't resist since Tom Baker was the narrator. He was the 4th Dr. on the series and my first doctor. The story was solid and very much fit his zany vibe. There is an extra interview with Tom at the end of the physical copy, as well as the history of how the story came about.
Thanks for the #BAndBDay (Book and Beverage Day) tag @TheSpineView 🤗
I woke up earlier with a bad headache & now I‘m tucked in on the couch with green tea and the Pride and Prejudice 1995 series on. Hoping the tea & Excedrin (& Colin Firth) work their magic so I can continue with this book that needs to go back to the library soon, but if not there‘s nothing wrong with a BAndB & PAndP Day! 😉
It's well established in the book that Mrs Bennett was a beauty "in her youth" so this illustration made me laugh. At the time of the novel she'd likely be 45 at most (probably closer to 40) yet this artist chose to make her look a great deal older. ?

As soon as I finish listening to The Simarillion, this will be my next audiobook. Tom Baker wrote AND recorded it, and I've only heard good things.
I've been re-watching a lot of Dr. Who lately. New and old. I'm also going to listen to the tagged book after my current audiobook. And I might have also ordered a copy from ebay. If you press the button on K-9's back he says "Affirmative Master".
