pick3.75⭐ This was a cute, simple reimagining of Snow White. In this book, the evil queen desires the seven keys needed to control a horrible doomsday machine, but Snow White, a worker in the palace overhears and tries to stop her.
I read this for the #FairyTaleReadingChallenge -- January: Snow White.
pickI loved how these are all classic fairy tales just with a Doctor Who twist. Each of the stories was narrated by someone different. They even got some of the actors from the show to narrate. With all story collections, some were better than others, but I enjoyed most of them.
pickWhat little gem in my library 😍 The fairy tales are short, but madecwith great care. I didn't know all the originals, but you don't have to in order to enjoy them anyway. My favourite was the retelling of Snow White ❤️
After celebrating Valentine's Day and also Giving a Book Day (or in my case a whole box 😁), I made Bánh mì for lunch. Today I went with the veggie style, nextvwerk I'll make some with meat as well 😋

Thank you Blackwell‘s! This is a perfect example of things looking bigger on the internet. This is the cutest set of 16 small hardcover books! I‘m not disappointed at all!! Before you buy this box set make sure to read the dimensions. It will make a nice book end. LOVE IT!! 🖤
pickFinished my first book for #24b4Monday this morning in bed. Currently at 4:50:13. I‘ll be Audio yard working later, so I‘ll have to make sure to set my timer!
I‘m so glad I finally read this book. It‘s been on my shelf for at least 5 years. My favorite stories were Cinderella and the Magic Box and Little Rose Riding Hood 💚💚 It was great reading about creatures in the Doctor Who universe.
Found my favorite story in this collection so far 😭😭
So fitting to read this one when yesterday was the 15 year anniversary of the Doctor Who episode Rose.
💚💚 Now I want to watch Doctor Who but it‘s currently not streaming 😫

Here‘s my stack for #24B4Monday Readathon. I don‘t know how much reading I‘ll get done. I‘m currently struggling to get into a book. I‘m not sure what I‘m currently in the mood for.
Or I might listen mostly to audiobooks. I‘m having no trouble listening to my audio of The Women‘s War. Will probably do some audio baking tomorrow.
Ya‘ll today was hard. My anxiety over COVID has shown up in full force as it gets worse in my state. So I‘m snuggling the pups and watching Who. I‘m missing a Christmas episode so while I was googling that I found the tagged series! I need these in my life! #keeplitsypositive #prisonerzerohasescaped
It's called escapism.
Today‘s mug brought to you by Dr.Who 🤓
pickAll the 🌟 in all the galaxies!!! Billions of trillions of 🌟!!! I especially loved that male characters saved the day, female characters saved the day, and not a single damsel in distress to be found anywhere. Cunning and wit won the day more than overt shows of strength and there was really something for everyone. This is a true modern telling of these tales. I would read this to a child before I read the originals. (continue below)
Oh here we go!!! This is the last story and I can‘t wait...my love of Doctor Who meets my love of Kin g Arthur stories. Let the games begin.

I cheered when I read this!!! These are just the kinds of fairytales we need these days!!!

A great, bookish image from this book. I‘m really loving it. There are absolutely zero damsels in distress here!!!

What is very clear, from this story, is that all librarians are time lords...obviously. #librariansaretimelords
So excited to get to take this for a spin. I‘ve wanted to read it for almost a year.

It's been a long time since I've featured Doctor Who so it seemed like a great choice for yesterday's #fandomfriday ! I planned on taking all of my pictures for this weekend, but my kiddos gave me a cold so I've been pretty lazy today. I just want to curl up and read my books for the rest of the night but I need to get some work done. I'm #currentlyreading My Plain Jane and The Last Time I Lied. **What's your current read?**
I am not a #fantasy reader, but once I want to start with this series. 😉 @scripturient gave me this wonderful edition. 💖😍
#litsyclassics @Bambolina_81
So I may have just downloaded the audiobook of this from iTunes... 😁

So in love with this. #doctorwho #fairytales
Surprise prezzie from my #litsypenpal arrived today. I love it! It made my day! Thanks @Books.Bottles.and.Babies
This photo is totally not for @TobeyTheScavengerMonk who absolutely did NOT - under any circumstances - need to see these covers individually. Or how gorgeous they are. #sorrynotsorry #blamelitsy #theslipcaseisbeautifultoo
Before Casey went to bed, he made me a #sweet iced coffee! ☕️ Must. Stay. Awake! #24hour #readathon
My #cozy spot is almost certainly my bed! But I can't stay there too long or I'll fall asleep! #24hour #readathon
Had totally forgotten about these DW #fairytaleretellings thank you @Eyelit 😆

so-soI think my expectations were far to high for this collection of reimagined fairy tales. Elements from Doctor Who present themselves in each story (sometimes it's a past monster like the weeping angels, others the story itself is set in space or another planet, The Doctor does make an appearance here and there). Some were quite engaging and others fell flat. Lovely illustrations, though.
