For all Doctor Who fans saddened at the news they won’t be a new series in 2016 don’t worry, I have some news that will fill your (two) hearts with joy.

There are going to be lots of new Doctor Who books released this year!

Kicking things off in February is The Legends of Song – a collection of stories from River Song’s diary, and the first full-length book featuring River. It will be released in e-format in February, followed by a hardback edition in June.

The Whoniverse: The Untold History of the Worlds of Doctor Who is due for release in October.

It’s described as “a never-before-seen history of the Human Race”, including “untold histories of other planets and lifeforms”. The book will be packed with full-colour illustrations, maps, charts and photography.

David Tennant’s tenth Doctor stars in Jenny Colgan’s latest novel In the Blood due May. It’s set to tie in with audio innovations from Big Finish which also feature Tennant and Catherine Tate.

Possibly my favourite is Doctor Who: The Official Cookbook which will arrive in August.

The “fun, family-oriented cookbook” is packed full of simple, achievable recipes that are both savoury and sweet – ranging from “Gingerbread Doctors” to a “Pandorica to a Dalek Cake”.

So don’t worry Whovians, there’s plenty to keep you entertained until Peter Capaldi fires up the TARDIS once again.
