Wonderful! Not only did I get more tales of my beloved Doctor, but the proceeds go to charity, so it's a win-win.
Most of these tales were of Jodi's Doctor, Thirteen, and she was written in a lovely way, by each author that wrote one of her stories. She is kind and feeling and that was made abundantly clear on the page. But there were also appearance from Eccleston's Nine, Smith's Eleven and Tennant's Ten. There was even a mention of a ginger Doctor! Whoo hoo! My secret (not anymore) is that Rupert Grint will be the ginger Doctor. One can hope...

I must say I wasn't blown away by it but I did sit down and absorb it in one evening. I particularly liked the story involving George the cat Mittens as a cat dad myself.
I only wish I had read this earlier in the pandemic as it truly is a great little collection to have been read when adventures were taken from us.
There wasn't a single story in this that I didn't like, I loved the Tourist as I said, but I also loved The Terror of the Umpty Ums and The Simple Things.

3 stars. This was a really lovely way to pass the time and it was done for a great cause. The illustrations were great and some of the short stories were interesting but there was just something about this collection that I didn’t love. I can’t put my finger on it but something was missing for me here. It was still a fun and quick read though.

How could I feel anything but love for this book? Each story written during a horrible time & each one will have brought a smile to so many people’s faces. I love having some of the extra lockdown content down, permanently, on paper & I love the extras included in the book as well. I’m most happy about more stories about 13 & the fam - we don’t have enough books staring them. A lovely edition to my many Doctor Who books.

This was pleasant. If also a little nostalgic - remember 2020 when we (a) thought covid19 might be over in months and (b) all cared enough about each other to limit our activities to save lives and help health workers? But, mainly, I just want to yell to other readers: “In one story, IT IS FINALLY SUSAN!”
