“Wishing Well” by Trevor Baxendale
I have never been a Martha fan. She kind of reminds me of that girl/boy in stories where the the main character has just gotten out of really important relationship and that girl/boy wants the main character to turn around … Continue reading
“The Resurrection Casket” by Justin Richards
I don’t know if you’ve cottoned on yet, but I’m going through a bit of Doctor Who withdrawal at the moment. Well, specifically, a good companion withdrawal. On UKTV I’ve got the Ponds, and on Syfy I have Leela. All … Continue reading

Just before I left for Canberra, a friend of mine decided to give me half a dozen Tenth Doctor stories. See, he was moving as well and decided that he would never read these stories again. Honest to God, I … Continue reading

“The Goldfinch” by Donna Tartt
