I don't know about you, but I love a good carnival. Can you smell the fried dough? Hear the screams from the Round Up and the belly laughs from the Tile-a-Whirl? Will you pay a dollar to see the world's largest bull? Or the snake with two heads?I've paid the price of admission, slapped on a wrist band, and am heading off to the midway. Just like a good ride, a book takes you places you might never have expected to go. Here are some reviews of books that will definitely take you away.

Gary Russell's Doctor Who: The Inside Story
As you have bought this book, then presumably you know at least a little bit about this madness of which I speak [the madness that drives the Who team to spend nine months working their socks off and their guts out in producing a 13 episode + one Christmas special series]. There is probably already a corner of your soul that is dimensionally transcendental. I bet there is. Isn't it great? Isn't it? It's fine. You're among friends.
The Afterword is by Russell T Davies. If you've got a Whovian in the family, they'll probably adore this book which has been so lovingly written and put together by Gary Russell. Doctor Who: The Inside Story is also available from Amazon.com

Tricia, I love how you've framed the carnival with those cool little blurbs! Thanks for hosting!
So much fun to spend the day at the carnival! Thanks for adding a fun spin to the posts. It makes me want to reach out for some sticky cotton candy! Or maybe spot Wilbur and Charlotte tucked away in some corner. Thanks so much for your happy hosting.
Fun, fun! Thanks for your time and effort -- GREAT carnival! Off to follow links and read!
Tons of great links. Great job. Looking forward to reading all!
LOVE this carnival! Very cool and fun way to present all the links. Thanks so much :)!
What a beautiful carnival! I love the pictures--that spin art deal was big at the fairs I went to when I was kid, too.<br /><br />Great links and very prettily presented. Thanks!
Wow, what a fun and impressive carnival. So inviting, love your carnival categories. Great job!
This looks great, Tricia. I love the carnival art. Thanks for all of your hard work on this.
Fun Carnival - thanks!
Fun Carnival - thanks!
I was a certified spin-art instructor (squeeze bottles of tempera paint and a pottery wheel: wear a smock) at a documentation-happy summer camp in the '80's, and it always brings back fond memories.<br /><br />Thanks for hosting - I have a whole bunch of new books on my Reserves list!<br /><br /><a href="http://pinkme.typepad.com" rel="nofollow">:paula</a>

Thanks for the great job on the carnival! I feel like I've been when I got through. Nice way to categorize, too.
Thanks for hosting the carnival - and I add my voice to the chorus of people who loved the way you wrote it! :)b
Great collection! Loved the last section in particular -- visited every single link there. Thanks for putting this together. :)
Great job on the carnival! I've already added two books to my TBR from reading the posts! Thanks so much for hosting.
As soon as Passover is over, I am going to pop some popcorn, stroll through your carnival grounds and try to figure out how to top this! What an amazing, wonderful well-organized carnival you have provided. I am going to spend a lot of time here, you can be sure. Thanks so much for doing this, Tricia.
Thanks for putting this together. This is great resource for everyone!
This is fabulous Trisha! And I love your new blog design.
This is tremendously gorgeous, Trisha! I can't wait to sample the articles and caramel corn and read fortunes!
