January 11th, 2024 - 7:45pmBrace yourselves… the horror… the horror… okay… deep breath… the spines are blue! Noooooooooooooo!
Err, actually… they look great.
In all seriousness I imagine there will be people complaining about the change but the target books of old are a sea of colours on my shelves so I have zero issue with the change. And actually they do look great on the shelf in that blue colour.

January 12th, 2024 - 7:04pmDon’t remember a bat! It’s a shame these are Anthony dry’s last covers. I would like to see him given an opportunity to showcase a different style. Hopefully they won’t move to a photo cover for the next batch of books which presumably will be in July when the paperback version of church on ruby road is being released. I image it will also include the target paperback of Fraser Hines evil of the daleks book as well. As to any others? Frankly any story will be welcome. Perhaps a story from either series 2 or 3 and an Amy pond book would be nice so one from series 5, 6 or 7.

January 10th, 2024 - 10:15amMy favourite of these episodes was Wild Blue Yonder by some distance, but I’m unsure how well it would work in print. Strikes me as an incredibly visual episode.

January 14th, 2024 - 7:29pmJust finished wild and it was very good. Morris is good writer and he captures this story well. Despite being very visual it works well in prose.

January 9th, 2024 - 8:45pmCan anyone list a set of additions/deviations the Wild Blue Yonder novelisation makes from the TV version? I’m thinking of picking it up considering it was my favourite of the 3 specials

January 27th, 2024 - 11:53pmI read it when it came out in December and it’s pretty faithful, with the main change being how slower the passage of time feels in the novelisation.

January 8th, 2024 - 7:13pmCan’t wait to see what the resolution actually was to the Star beast written down in paper form. Right now is it literally the fact that she’s non binary saved the day?

January 9th, 2024 - 9:53amNo it was cause she was Donna’s daughter so in turn the meta crisis carried down to her and she is non binary cause she has a semi time lord brain which doesn’t recognise gender as being so binary

January 9th, 2024 - 12:57pmI took it more to mean that Rose was trans/non binary because the Doctor has had both male and female incarnations
