“Heroes can be found in the most unlikely places. Perhaps we all have it within us to do great things, but may simply lack the circumstances or the reasons to be heoric.”

"People assume that time is a strict progression from cause to effect, but actually from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint, it's more like a big ball of wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey stuff"

Nice little find on vinted thanks to @hannah-leeloo

Cuilin I love the timey-wimey quote. ❤️❤️ 1y

3.75⭐ 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.

I 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.

What 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 ❤️

Twainy I love this little boxed set!! 💕 4y
LiteraryinPA @Twainy I don‘t know if you two follow each other, but I got back to back Dr Who posts in my feed and it seemed like a sign! 4y

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!! 🖤

Finished 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.

Andrew65 Wow! This looks great. Well done 👏👏👏 5y

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 😫

Laughterhp @Andrew65 Oh yes! That‘s one of my favorite episodes too!! I‘m so mad HBO Max stole the streaming rights but isn‘t in service yet! I used to be able to watch on Amazon Prime. 5y

Laughterhp @mrsmarch Yeah, they have Doctor Who, Friends, and probably a bunch of other shows, but I don‘t think they are launching until May.. 😔 5y

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.

BeansPage ❤️ audiobooking! 5y
Andrew65 I would second the audiobook option if you are having trouble getting into a book. Good luck with the Readathon. 😊👍 5y

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.

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.
#doctorwho #timelordfairytales #kingarthur

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
See All 9 Comments
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

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

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?**

Mehso-so

I 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.
