Doctor Who: The Legends of River Song by Steve Lyons, Jenny T. Colgan, Jacqueline Rayner, Andy Lane, Guy Adams
4.0
Rating: 4 stars
This should have been my 100th book, not my 101st. It was a much better book than what my 100th ended up being. Oh well. I guess numbers don't really matter.
I love River Song's storyline in the show, and these five short stories really encapsulated who she was as a character without giving detailed explanations of events in particular episodes. That being said, you pretty much had to have seen all of seasons 5, 6, probably 7, and maybe the 2015 Christmas special, The Husbands of River Song (which coincidentally I kept mistakenly calling this book) because all these stories at some point discuss a giant spoiler for something crucial in the series.
Anyway, my favourite stories were probably 2 and 3, Suspicious Minds and A Gamble with Time, if I had to choose, though number 4, Death in New Venice was pretty good. Oh, and this was definitely my favourite quote:
I just finished another Doctor Who book where it mentioned Star Trek, maybe this is a common theme.

"I re-entered the world of conciousness to see a bald man looking down on me. My muddled thought processes went 'Sontaran? Silence? Jean-Luc?' until my head cleared and I realized it was Elvis."
