13. Dragon’s Claw: Collected Comics from the Pages of Doctor Who: A Marvel Monthly by Dave Gibbons, Steve Parkhouse, Steve Moore, et al.
Through a quirk of how my reading lists operate, this ended up being a very tie-in-heavy month: five Star Trek books and six Doctor Who ones! Four of the Doctor Who ones were comics, which I didn't mind so much, but five Star Trek novels in one month turned out to be too many. In my younger days, I would do that regularly, but this is the first time I've read five Star Trek novels in one month since February 2004, and it turns out I crave a more diverse reading palette now.
All books acquired:
1. Star Trek: Prometheus: Fire with Fire by Bernd Perplies and Christian Humberg
2. Doctor Who: Adventures in Lockdown edited by Steve Cole
3. The Impressions of Theophrastus Such by George Eliot
All books on "To be read" list: 654 (down 7!)
