Doctor Who Weeks Commences in three... two... one... NOW!

By -


I've always been a SciFi Gal, but this year marked my descent into utter madness and obsession when I began watching Doctor Who for the first time.

Before I could say "Fantastic", I was hooked. I started blogging about Doctor Who. I started talking about Doctor Who (some may claim I never STOP talking about it). I started pinning Doctor Who, and tumblring.. You name it, I was doing it.

(Check out my Doctor Who board on Pinterest!)










I did have one small problem. Being completely hooked, and wanting to see ALL the things, I found myself fighting against...

Yes, I had a few little plot points spoiled. Yes, I was a little frustrated by a few things I found out before I should have. Did that keep me from trying to see ALL the things? Not even a little. It just motivated me to binge watch the seasons as quickly as possible.



The best part of social media is that you can find out exactly who else shares your obsessions. I've discovered a rather large tribe of teachers, librarians, and fellow geeks who are similarly Doctorfied. So when my friend Karen from Teen Librarian Toolbox suggested we host a Doctor Who Week on our joint blogs, I knew I was ready to jump in.

Officially, Doctor Who Week starts tomorrow. I wanted to get this post up to make sure you ALL know that...


We have guest posts from authors.
We have DIY directions for art and costumes.
We have guest posts from tweens and teens.
We have favorite lists galore! (quotes, companions, episodes)
We have giveaways....

Don't forget to watch the newest mini episode... and catch up on Paul McGann's Doctor. I loved the Geek Mom Blog's post "Everything You Didn't Know in Night of the Doctor" 


Then be sure to watch this one. Tennant is a gem, and 
I love this encounter between his Doctor and the Fifth incarnation.

I'm so excited to be part of the blog tour for Just Harriet - by Elana K. Arnold! ABOUT THE BOOK (From the publisher) From the award-winning author of A Boy Called Bat comes a new young middle grade series in the tradition of Ramona and Clementine, starring an unforgettable girl named Harriet. There are a few things you should know about Harriet Wermer: She just finished third grade. She has a perfect cat named Matzo Ball. She doesn’t always tell the truth. She is very happy to be spending summer vacation away from home and her mom and dad and all the wonderful things she had been planning all year. Okay, maybe that last one isn’t entirely the truth. Of course, there’s nothing Harriet doesn’t like about Marble Island, the small island off the coast of California where her Nanu runs a cozy little bed and breakfast. And nobody doesn’t love Moneypenny, Nanu’s old basset hound. But Harriet doesn’t like the fact that Dad made this decision without even asking her. When Harriet arrives

Parent Book Club - Guest Post

Welcome, my friends, to my first ever GUEST POST! My fabulous school librarian (aka @ReaderRoberts ) decided to hold a parent's book club this year, to give parents ideas for getting kids reading. This past week she held the inaugural session, with a  "summer reading"  focus. Let us know what you think!  Parent Book Club - Summer Reading Sometimes your best ideas come to you in a flash.  That is how it was with the parents’ book club.  One afternoon I was sharing a title with a parent volunteer and she ended up checking the book out of the library. Nothing unusual. This happens frequently to all of us when we booktalk.  What was different was that when the parent returned the book she made the remark that I should share this book with everyone. You have probably guessed by now that the book was Wonder by R.J. Palacio. Through the year I have shared many other great titles –many of them discovered through my PLN on Twitter. The Only and Only Ivan , The
