Books, books everywhere! (And not a one to read...)

[eponymous_rose]

Well, um. It's a good thing I've been saving up for ages, is all I can say. That was very probably a shopping spree, considering that my general definition of a shopping trip is to buy a seventy-five cent novel from the used bookstore down the street... which I also did today! (A Series of Unfortunate Events book, too! How could I resist?)

I finally got The Turing Test! I've been meaning to order it for a long time. And then I happened to come across the first BFA script book and was all "Well, awesome price. Okay. Just this once." And then the second one popped up and, well, The One Doctor? Seasons of Fear?

Very good thing that I've been saving. Very, very good thing.

Writing tiem nao! (And beta time - I really managed to get behind!)

Also! Go read imsanehonest's new fic: Wasteland! It contains Martha and Donna and awesome suspense and banter and is generally made of awesome.

Yay The Turing Test!

(I am currently waiting for a shipment of five more EDAs. Which brings me to a total of 11.)

Audio scripts for the win!

Woohoo! I'm really looking forward to all these books, but I doubt any of them will arrive before Christmas. Late present, then!

My collection of EDAs is kind of pitiful. But growing quickly!

I seem to have a bit of an obsession with reading scripts. Ooh, and then I can listen to the audio while reading the script!

Waitwaitwait. The Turing Test is a Doctor Who book? There is a Doctor Who book about Alan Turing?

Indeedy doo! It's one of the Eighth Doctor novels, and I keep hearing about how excellent it is. It probably stands on its own well enough once you know the premise - the Eighth Doctor's amnesiac (as is his wont) and stranded on Earth for, y'know, a century. Wackiness ensues! Well, and historical slashiness.

A summary!

"It's nearly the end of the Second World War. There's a mysterious new code and Alan Turing has been called in to crack it. Everyone assumes it's a German code, as that's where the source is emanating from - apart from Turing's new friend, the Doctor.

When people start dying, the Doctor's knowledge of the code and the codemakers casts suspicion onto him, and even Turing starts to have suspicions.

Meanwhile, in an African village, writer and spymaster Graham Greene has found something far stranger than an unusual code.

The trail leads through occupied Germany, across the front line. What they find defies human explanations... but does the Doctor really have all the answers?"

Does he? Does he?
