Doctor Who: Circular Time

4 short stories make up Big Finish's first foray into anthology storytelling, and there isn't a bad one in the bunch. Outstanding storytelling, great acting (especially by my favorite guest star, David Warner) a deepening of the special relationship that five and Nyssa share, and a finale to die for. This might be my favorite Fifth Doctor story of the line thus far. Great audio!

Slightly disappointed, slightly repetitive
I was absolutely gearing up for Roxane Gay's latest book which turned out to be a mish mash of interesting short stories, intersecting racism, classism and sexism. The only issue was about 75% of the book seemed to repeat itself. It seemed to be missing a trick - there are more to women's lives than men, which was the main focus.

Moving
I really enjoyed reading this book. I docked a smash point because it could be a tad slow at times. As others have said, it is a stressful read. It's one of those stories where you empathize with all the characters, even though they may make poor decisions. I liked the overall message and it was truly a book about love and forgiveness.

All time favorite
One of the best revenge stories ever written. I've read a lot of books, both modern and classics, but this one will always be my favorite.
One thing I thought would bother me are the Christian undertones throughout due to being an atheist, but though it was at times very religious, I never found it distracting even after having read it 6 times.

Leah on the Off Beat
Leah is a spin-off in the Simon vs. the Homosapian Agenda world. Pleasant surprise, Leah has been hiding the fact that she is bi from everyone. Now that we see inside her head we can understand her point of view as she goes through her senior year, and everything is changing.

Keep it Creepy, Keep it Cool
I am relatively new to the world of Podcasts and luckily for me Spirits was one of the first I came across. It immediately became a must listen for me. I love learning the history of various mythologies and stories from around the world, as well as the hilarious tangents that the girls often go down.

I'm just not feeling this series. Too many unnecessary characters brought in, too much jumping around from location to location, perspective to perspective. Just as I feel like I'm getting into it and the story is getting good, it's all change again. I would've much preferred to focus on the main story, with fewer distracting side stories that don't really go anywhere or need telling.

This is the second book in this series by this author. This book has fantastic characters, which just come alive as you read. This is a sexy contemporary romance story. This author has a fab way of bringing you fun and sensual stories. I can't wait to read more from this author in the future.
Highly recommended.

after reading the first one I had high hopes for this, and I wasn't disappointed. I love this series, I love the characters and the story line. this is a second chance romance story which you'll be reading long into the night. these stories are written to run along side each other not one after the other. cant wait to read the next in series.
