Rated Devotion 10/10

Devotion traces Dani Shapiro's journey to discover what beliefs would help her find greater meaning in her day-to-day life. Shapiro writes with a wonderful intimacy, and she owns up to her failures. Her process is not so tidy, and she wants others to know that it's okay; we can all be untidy, and the world will not stop spinning.<br><br>It is a fantastic book, worth all the personal introspection it produces as a side effect.<br><br>(Full review appears at <a href="http://glorifiedloveletters.blogspot.com/2011/10/devotion-memoir-by-dani-shapiro.html">Glorified Love Letters</a>.)

Rated Death and the Daleks 8/10

Rated Doctor Who Series 2 Volume 2: When Worlds Collide 6/10

Not the strongest of the DW comics I've read, but an enjoyable enough two-adventure volume.

Rated Doctor Who: Assassin in the Limelight 8/10

<div>A good Sixth Doctor/Evelyn historical revolving around the assassination of Lincoln.</div>

Rated Doctor Who Series III, Vol. 4: Dead Man's Hand 8/10

Quite good, though a bit crammed full of real life characters.

Rated Doctor Who: The Ninth Doctor Adventures - Buried Threats 10/10

<div>I am still so glad we get more Ninth Doctor stories, and this time, we even get Bernice Summerfield. What a treat.</div>

Rated Doctor Who: Classic Doctors, New Monsters - Volume 2 8/10

Rated Doctor Who Volume 3: Final Sacrifice 10/10

Really great conclusion to the 3 act story.

Rated Doctor Who: Hunters of Earth 8/10

This is pretty good, and it sparked a theory with me as to why the Doctor and Susan left in the first place. It's interesting to hear about things that happened before the first episode takes place.

Finished reading Dark Moons Rising on a Starless Night

Rated Doctor Who: Night of the Whisper 10/10

Really loved this one. I think it's my favorite out of this Destiny of the Doctor series so far.

Rated Doctor Who: 100 9/10

<div>Really solid set of shorter trips featuring the Sixth Doctor and Evelyn. A lot of funny bits too.</div>

Rated Doctor Who: Babblesphere 8/10

Enjoyable take on how social media could become nefarious, with a funny cameo at the end.

Rated Doctor Who: Beyond War Games 9/10

<div>The Ice Warrior story is maybe a smidge less interesting than the first story, "The Final Beginning," but whatever, this is still great. Michael Troughton sounds SO much like his father, and I always enjoy hearing Jon Culshaw as the Brig. The Second Doctor is one of my favs.</div>

Rated Doctor Who: Dark Eyes 2 8/10

Re-listen 12/17: Still excellent. Got more of the details this second time around. The Master swooning over the Eighth Doctor's appearance is delightful also.<br><br>Original review:<br>I feel like I need to listen to this a second time to properly unpack it. There's a lot going on, and shifts in time are a different experience when it's an audio adventure. One of these days I'll have a lie in with a Dark Eyes 1 and 2 marathon, and I think I'll better see the full scope of the story. Much like the TV show, one often notices more the second time through. That said, I still really loved this, and it's cool to hear Alex Macqueen from The Thick of It and the woman who played Ruth (Nicola Walker) on Spooks/MI-5. Good stuff. I'm looking forward to the next installment.

Finished reading Exordia

Rated Doctor Who: Jubilee 10/10

A very strong Doctor Who story in that it demonstrates the differences between the Doctor and the enemies he fights, but also shows how fine a line it is between "good" and "evil," and how without pausing to examine why we do the things that we do, and how those things/help or hurt, we can just as easily become those against whom we fight. <br><br>Also, I like Evelyn Smyth as a companion, but I haven't listened to enough of her yet!

Rated Doctor Who: The Ninth Doctor Adventures - Back to Earth 9/10

<div>I was maybe a little less interested in the middle story — you can see where it's all heading before anything "unusual" is identified — but it's not a bad a story. Honestly, I'm just always glad to have more Ninth Doctor stories</div>

Rated Doctor Who: Doom Coalition 3 8/10
