I have no idea how I found this book. I was just sitting at the computer looking for a book. Now the book I was looking for didn't have anything to do with chicks, digging or time lords, but there it was.
And I wanted it.
I have been often told, that one should never judge a book by its cover. I did. The psychic paper, the scarf and the key to the Tardis all said 'read me'. And maybe the title Chicks dig time lords: A celebration of Doctor Who by the women who love it.
I quite like time lords, so I was curious. I knew Verity Lambert liked time lords, and I wasn't surprised to learn that Carole Barrowman did too. But a whole book written by chicks who dig time lords was a surprise. They all had different reasons for liking them and they all quite possibly had favourites.
While Doctor Who is off air, the Doctor is hopefully repairing his Tardis and maybe even getting its chameleon circuit to work. I think I could help him out. Not because I can run in high heels and mini-skirt. I can't. I could get his Tardis fixed.
He probably can't travel back through time and space to arrive outside the Tardis repair shop on Gallifrey, but he could go to the planet-sized library which contains every book ever written and get a book on how to repair a Tardis. That's where I come in. I have a library card which isn't valid for all libraries in time and space, but since when do small details like that stop the Doctor and his companions?
I do know how libraries are organised and I know how to ask the right questions. If the library has a copy of a Tardis repair manual, I could find it with the help of the Librarian. If the Tardis materializes within the library, we won't need to borrow the repair manual, but if he does borrow it, the Doctor will be able to keep it for ages, then travel back in time and return it on time. How cool would that be?
Do you dig time lords?
Dare I ask, which one?
While you are waiting for the return of Doctor Who, why not borrow a DVD featuring your favourite Doctor?
