Sakura, Saku Volume One by Io Sakisaka
When Saku suddenly takes ill, a boy comes to her rescue — then disappears without a trace. From that day on, Saku has two goals in life: to pass on the boy’s goodwill by helping strangers in need and to find the boy so she can thank him in person for saving and changing her life.
Once Upon a Time Lord by Dan Slott, Christopher Jones, and Matthew Dow Smith
Just in time for the 60th anniversary celebrations comes this Thousand and One Nights-esque tale in which Martha Jones, under duress, shares three action-packed, cameo-filled stories about the Tenth Doctor.
Doctor Who fans may also appreciate Doctor Who Psychology: Times Change, an essay collection about the mindsets and motivations that drive the various Doctors and companions, edited by an actual doctor, Travis Langley.

Riot Recommendations
Today’s Riot Rec theme is: museums! They’re fun and educational at the same time!
Cats of the Louvre by Taiyo Matsumoto
Fans of Night at the Museum and/or kitty cats will enjoy this offbeat tale about a family of felines living in the Louvre’s attic. These tabbies are the only witnesses to what really goes on after the world’s most famous museum shuts its doors for the night!
Season of the Bruja by Aaron Durán and Sara Soler
Althalia works in a most unusual museum: it’s dedicated to the paranormal and counts a were-coyote, a chupacabra, and the last bruja — Althalia herself — among its employees. To protect her family’s heritage and legacy, Althalia must learn to harness her powers before the church ends her line for good!
Have you visited any interesting museums lately? Or maybe you’re just chilling at home, waiting for the Doctor Who specials? Either way, valid. Have a great day, nerd friends!
