I came across My Big Fat Supernatural Honeymoon in Strand Books. It’s always nice to pick up an anthology as they tend to be easy reads. As a big fan of The Dresden Files series by Jim Butcher, his story “Heorot”about a kidnapped newlywed woman from an beer festival was enough reason to buy.

A 10th Doctor Adventure
This is yet another of the 50th Anniversary books, one for each Doctor. This one has the 10th, plus Donna Noble and her family. The writer, Gary Russel, worked on Doctor Who, Torchwood, and Sarah Jane Adventures, so he’s familiar with the concepts, and does this sub-genre proud.

But of course they are sidetracked to where they’re needed (thanks, Idris/Tardis!). They end up somewhere Earth-ish, and it’s definitely winter. When they’re exploring, Rory turns back to get a warmer coat. (Why does he do that? He should know better than to get separated from the […]
