Because the post didn't arrive until...whenever the post arrives - it may be brought my magical pixies for all I know - I ended up reading the start of King's Monstrous Regiment. I do not regret this; the first chapter was hysterically funny. I have no idea whether I was actually meant to be amused or not, but heh, I cannot knock it too badly for that.
I can't stand the cover though. Irony or no, I don't want a reminder of bloody Knox every time I pick a book up.
But, yes, then there was post and The Holmes-Dracula File had arrived, so I had something less hrrm to satisfy me Holmes craving with, hurrah! Thus far it is proving to be most diverting. And I'll now have to go read Dracula again since it's been like a decade and I can barely remember a thing other than deciding no more epistolaries. Probably I'll be utterly horrified by actual Van Helsing because my head says he's clearly Peter Cushing and Hammer is canon, omg.
In other fandoms, the last few days brought BEAUTIFUL PICSPAMS to me flist reminding me about how I love Martha RATHER A LOT. This one is of that magical last scene in Gridlock where my like went to love and I started to get all fuzzy and omg!yay about season three. And this one's from Human Nature and almost made me tear up cause the Doctor keeps giving Martha more and more responsibility throughout the season, building up to this, the first time where she's effectively gotta be the Doctor. And she is and it's a bit great and one of the things I do quite love about JE is Martha's goodbye because it is perfect for who she's become, that the Doctor can just casually ask her to save the world again and she just as easily says, yeah, alright, because that is what she does now and it makes me glee. (Also the piscpam sort of makes me ship Martha/TARDIS, which is yay but also weird because I don't really do TARDIS shipping.)
