Enjoying it a great deal so far.

And continued enjoying
The Silent Stars Go By. Very definitely my favourite Eleventh Doctor adventure I've read so far, and one that cements my realisation that while I gave up watching New!Who mid-season six due to not caring about the season arcs and a lot of what was going on on-screen, my problems didn't stem with Eleven or his core team and I can still read and enjoy their written adventures.
After that, I read
The Outlaw Demon Wails (sixth in Kim Harrison's
The Hollows series) and .... well, with this book, I can finally say I'm really glad I've persisted with the series even through all the things I disliked. My favourite book in the series so far and one that gives me hope for the remaining ones. Even if it did still have too many epithets ("the young-seeming elf", "the scarred man", "the uncomfortable man", "the older rock star" all in a matter of a few pages, to refer to people we've known by name for 4-6 books and whom the first-person narrator is familiar with ... urgh, no, please).
Last night I started
Heaven's Queen by Rachel Bach, the third (and, I believe, last book in the
Paradox series/trilogy). I enjoyed the first two books a great deal although the second left me with some doubts as to whether I will like the third one, but so far, so good.
