The first Who from 1997 that I encountered: It only barely counts, but I read Decalog 5: Wonders back in 2004, less than six months after I started bookblogging, and one of a very few Who books that I read in the wilderness years. If we are only counting fiction with the Doctor in, then it's The Dying Days which I read in 2005.

My favourite Who from 1997: The New and Missing Adventures kept up quality to the end. My favourites from the list are The Dying Days and The Dark Path; I'll also give a shout to Beyond The Sun.

Moving swiftly on from: Actually I enjoyed all of these, though I may lose credibility in some quarters by admitting that Alien Bodies did not really work for me.

So, what was your favourite of the above? What is the best bit? (And if you like, what is the worst bit?)
