All 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)

GingerAntics If we read these versions to our kids (or something like them), we would be raising a generation of kids who WANTED to use their brains to solve problems instead of fists and saw girls and boys, men and women, as equally capable of saving the day and being in power. They would learn kindness and intellect would save the day. Let kids hear versions like this first, then let them read the originals/classics when they can see the BS for themselves. 6y
GingerAntics This is why I literally (real literally, not figuratively said wrong) have the Doctor‘s oat tattooed on my arm. #doctorwho #timelordfairytales #librariansaretimelords #timelord #fairytales (edited) 6y

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.

TheWordJar So, I am just discovering Dr. Who (as in I‘ve watched two episodes), and I‘m wondering why I resisted for so long!! Can‘t watch them fast enough now. 6y
GingerAntics @TheWordJar I think because whovians are the Uber nerds of the sci-fi nerd world. No idea why. You can be into all sorts of sci-fi, but if you‘re a whovian, somehow you‘re considered a nerd, even by the nerds. It‘s weird. I like to think of the Doctor as the King/Queen of the Nerds!!! lol 💙💙 The books are mostly well written. I‘ve heard of a few bad ones, but all I‘ve read have been great. (edited) 6y
GingerAntics @TheWordJar Neil Gaiman has even written a few books (and the odd episode or two). Welcome to the club!!! 💙💙 6y

TheWordJar This makes me laugh because I was considered a nerd long before it was cool. And to be certain, I am still a nerd and still not cool! So, welcome home, I guess? 😂 And I do love Neil Gaiman. Definitely looking forward to embracing this fandom and all the material it has to offer! 6y
GingerAntics @TheWordJar sadly it is currently split over the female doctor. I think it‘s about damned time, especially since the inventor of the show was a woman. Some people think feminism has ruined the show and refuse to even watch it now. 🙄 It‘s also split between those who liked Steven Moffat as the show runner and those who didn‘t, but most people hated him so that‘s not a big deal, really. 6y
TheWordJar I love Jodie Whittaker (Broadchurch!), and she is why I finally started watching it. I was told by a trusted friend to start with the reboot (the ninth doctor) and work my way up to the current season. So, that‘s my plan for now. What do you think? Work my way up or jump in with the new season? 6y
GingerAntics @TheWordJar big story arcs happen with each doctor, so you could safely start with Jodi‘s run. I‘m not much of a fan of nine, but ten is definitely my doctor. 6y
TheWordJar David. ❤️ Pretty sure I‘m going to enjoy that one as well! 6y
GingerAntics @TheWordJar it‘s the whole Broadchurch family...Whovian style. lol His Doctor is the exact opposite of Hardy, though. lol 6y

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

readingjedi Nice! 6y

So excited to get to take this for a spin. I‘ve wanted to read it for almost a year.

Faibka Enjoy! It‘s a nice Christmasy Whovian read :) 6y
GingerAntics @Faibka Christmassy? Really? I must not have gotten to that bit yet. I am loving this reworking of fairy tales to be more Whovian. Maybe because I was never really read “fairy tales” as a child, I‘m greatly enjoying this book. 6y
Faibka @GingerAntics oh my gosh! I totally confused it with the DW Christmas stories, ha! so sorry, I haven‘t slept like in three days so my brain isn‘t working properly. I haven‘t read them, though I have the book. I still recommend the Christmas ones! 😂 6y
