Hi, love your books! And, because I read fairly closely, I may have noticed some references here and there. (Allons-y!) How do you choose which ones to put in and when to put in?

Shannon Messenger Whovians unite!

Honestly, it comes down to what I can sneak in without it being weird. Since Sophie's not living with humans anymore--and none of her friends are fluent in human pop culture--it makes it a little tricky to not have the references read jarring. But whenever I find an opportunity, I get very excited. :)
