3 days...3 audiobooks

So in three days I have listened to three Doctor Who audio books.  The Day of the Troll, The Resurrection Casket, and The Stone Rose.  All of them were awesome.  I think I enjoyed The Resurrection Casket the most.  It is strange though.  Although they were very well written and very engaging, I felt almost as if they were runners up in a contest to see if they could make the show.  I guess since I love the TV program so much that anything not the show may feel that way. 

I am glad to report however that I would have enjoyed the stories just as much even if David Tennant had not been reading them.  His lovely voice was just the icing on the cake that satisfied my Doctor Who addiction.

Now unfortunately I am back to scouring the internet for anything with DT's voice.  I could just listen to him for hours and hours.  I don't have far to look though.  He is currently home from New Mexico after filming Fright Night, and he is promoting his role in the new BBC drama Single Father.  So there is a weeks worth of TV and radio interview for me to find and watch.  And he should be co-hosting the Christian O'Connell Breakfast show on AbsoluteRadio in the coming weeks as well.  That is always a riot.  I can't wait.

Doctor Who: The Resurrection Casket

Just started the BBC Audio book, The Resurrection Casket by Justin Richards. Read by David Tennant. I have only listened to the first 10 minutes, but I am already just tickled Tardis blue (that's preferable to pink in this case).

Pirates and Steampunk and Doctor Who.

The Vampire Menace

The Fall: Book 2 of the Strain Trilogy by Guillermo Del Toro and Chuck Hogan is out, but I really want to reread the first one before diving into the second. It kind of makes me want to wait until the third one is out and read all of them at once. Or I should say, listen to them. Ron Perlman narrated the first book and is said to be narrating the second as well.  I guess I shall leave a proper review for when I have refreshed my memory.  I remember it was slow in places for me, but I hear the second one is a much more intense and a faster read.

All in all, I actually liked The Passage by Justin Cronin better, but that does not diminish my enthusiasm for the Strain Trilogy.  Both The Strain and The Passage approach vampirism as a viral menace rather than supernatural in nature.

I am soon to read Let Me In by John Ajvide Lindqvist.  I am also soon to read The Chalice, Book One of the Vampire Relics by Tracy A. Evans. 

DINKY

Double Income, No Kids Yet. It is a BBC Radio sitcom which aired from 2001-2003. I just finished listening to all 3 series of 6 episodes each and it was fantastic. My coworkers and other random strangers who witnessed me listening on my iPod thought me quite disturbed as I would burst into laughter for no obvious reason. The reason was the wonderful dialogue and the superb writing of David Spicer.

Of course, I discovered this radio show while trying to hunt down any audiobooks or recordings of David Tennant. I could listen to that man's voice all day long. David Tennant voices the character of Daniel. The sitcom revolves around the couple, Daniel and Lucy, who are one of the only couples left in a circle of friends and family who are without child.

The show is funny, heartfelt, and gripping. I found it very difficult to stop listening. I highly reccommend it.

I'm a Pathetic Fangirl.

You know, there is never any time like the present.  I am typically the Queen of Excuses, or maybe even the Duchess of Procrastination.  So without preamble, warning, or even a master plan, I shall dive into this new endeavor.  I will be discussing here all of favorite TV shows, movies, books, music and my current pathetic fangirl fascination, Doctor Who, to be accompanied by a most annoying obsession, my pathetic fangirl crush on David Tennant.
