valoiseI want to start with one of the best books I've read in quite awhile, Death of the Author by Nnedi Okorafor. Without spoilers, at its heart this is a book about stories: the stories we tell ourselves, the stories we tell others, and the stories others tell about others.
Doctor Who and the Talons of Weng-Chiang and The Horror of Fang Rock by Terrance Dicks
Talons is an okay adaptation, but The Horror of Fang Rock was an excellent retelling of one my favorite 4th Doctor stories.
The Wood at Midwinter by Susanna Clarke
I picked this up in the New Books section at the library. She's a writer I keep meaning to read and this illustrated short story was really nice.
A House With Good Bones by T. Kingfisher
Great book, kind of a gothic horror with a touch of humor centered around a trio of smart, interesting women.
The-Eat-Less-Meat Cookbook by Dorothy Peel
In my ongoing research on food and WWI I cam across this really good British cookbook. This 1918 revised edition reflects the situation in a country that had been at war for four years already.
Dining with the Doctor: The Unauthorized Whovian Cookbook by Chris-Rachel Oseland
She uses humor and love of DW to provide one recipe for each episode in the first 6 seasons of the modern series.
