Okay I know this is April but here are the books I read in March. Both of them were Dr Who books (once again) – those charity book stores and remaindered chains are coming in real handy for this – but I read 'Eater of Wasps' and 'The Slow Empire'.

In reporting this, this article also breaches this word and piously covets the "the" with an "and" in case she takes away the right of people to use propositions and conjunctions.
