blue_ant107. Warriors of the Deep by Johnny Byrne (read by Peter Davison)
My memories of this are a little fuzzy because I listened to it over two weeks instead of straight through. I did enjoy it, though and Peter Davison is a great reader. The story focuses on the Fifth Doctor and two of his companions: Tegan Jovanka and Vislor Turlough. I don't remember Turlough from the series, but I do remember Tegan. The story takes place on Earth and underwater. It's a good story, well-plotted with a couple of interesting twists.
108. Skeleton Key by Anthony Horowitz
Let me just state up front that I am totally in love with the Alex Rider series. In this book, Alex gets mixed up with a Chinese gang at Wimbledon e(he's put up to it by an MI6 employee and he's trying to be helpful) and in order to escape from the Chinese gang members, he's set on vacation. Except it's not a vacation at all and he ends up getting mixed up in some dangerous business (of course). What's fun about this novel is that it brings up stuff we learned about in the movie (his friendship with Sabina, for example). I can't wait to read the next one!
109. Around the World in 80 Rounds by David Wood
I just finished this extraordinary book and it was fantastic. Like, it was completely brilliant. David Wood is a writer/stand up comedian and obsessed with golf. One day, while sitting in his apartment in Seattle, he decides that he wants to play golf in as many places as possible. Only he wants them to be obscure and out of the way -- and ends up decided to sell everything and go. He starts in South America at the southern most golf club in the world, the Ushauia Golf Club and ends in Tromsø Golf Park, the northern most. It's a great travel book and Wood is a fantastic and fun writer. Even if you don't care about golf, I highly recommend this book.
