stormhawk | 1184 comments Congratulations to everyone on last year's challenges. I'm going to try a different listing technique this year, I'm intending just to edit the entries for each month rather than a new entry for every book ...

Good luck, everyone!

Cary (vortigern) | 344 comments I love Doctor Who. Terrance Dicks helped write lots of the Doctor Who TV screen plays. He was hired as assitant editor by BBC in 1968. His first screen play for the show was War Games.

L. Gibbs (ldgibbs) Lady Hawk,
How am I going to keep up with all the great books you find if you keep reading like this? (Canary, slow down.) What luck, I've read a number of the books you have listed. But that still leaves me bunches of books to read!

I am going for 50 this year, trailing my little wings behind you, and beating as fast as I can.

Elldee

He's my favorite Doctor Who writer, both of the series, and of the novels. His stories tended to be more thoughtful!

stormhawk | 1184 comments Have you ever added a completed item to your to-do list, just so you could cross it off? ;)

I started a new job in April, which is seriously cutting into my reading time ...
