As anticipated, the trip to Barcelona meant lots of time to read...
Yeah. Sad to say I pretty much hated this one.
This was okay, but a bit too close to the TV serial for me - there wasn't anything wrong with it, but it did feel a bit redundant.
Didn't like this one - one "Science of Discworld" too many, IMO.
This, however, was great. I already knew about the "big reveal", but it was still well done for all that.
I enjoyed this too (finished it today). It's still game fiction, so don't expect high literature, but it was an enjoyable read - if you like Stackpole's X-Wing novels, chances are you'll like this. (Also, I particularly liked the dedication to Aaron Allston.)
I finished this too. The Episode Guide seemed a bit redundant - I've seen the episodes, and there are better guides online. It served double duty as something of a tutorial into the game itself, but I wasn't too keen on that approach. Still, there aren't many RPGs that actually do a good job of teaching the game, so it was nice that they tried something different.
After the episode guide it adopted a far more traditional approach, and it looks to be a good game (and a huge improvement over Serenity). Though it will take some getting used to - I'm very much used to simulationist games while this is distinctly narritivist, so I'll need to train myself to think differently.
This is the current novel, of which I've read the first part. Thus far it seems to be a good novel but not a good Bond novel - it's very much not the way Fleming would have written it. But that should be okay - I'll just try to enjoy it for what it is.
I still have the Seventh Doctor short story to read. After that, and after Solo, I'll probably read "The Cuckoo's Calling". And the D&D 5e Basic Game, of course.
