I’m over at AudioGals with a review of A Beastly Kind of Earl by Mia Vincy, narrated by Kate Reading. Chirpy optimist heroine charms the grumpy pessimist hero with a little help from a charming Bishop.

I’m over at AudioGals with a review of Mr. Impossible by Loretta Chase, narrated by Kate Reading. Great narration and an action-adventure romance romp across Egypt. Delightful.

I’m over at AudioGals with a review of His At Night by Sherry Thomas, narrated by Kate Reading. This is my very favourite Sherry Thomas and I was full of the squee when I found out Kate Reading was narrating. Vere just slays me.

I’m over at AudioGals today with a review of To Marry An English Lord by Gail MacColl and Carol McD. Wallace, narrated by Kate Reading. It didin’t have quite the fascination I was hoping for. That cover is mighty pretty though.

Why I read it: This was an Audible 2-for-1 sale recently so it cost me half a credit (or about $5.50). I loved To Say Nothing of the Dog (scroll down for my brief review) and I’d heard this was funny, with a little romance too.

What it’s about: (from Goodreads) Pop culture, chaos theory and matters of the heart collide in this unique novella from the Hugo and Nebula winning author of Doomsday Book.

Sandra Foster studies fads and their meanings for the HiTek corporation. Bennet O’Reilly works with monkey group behavior and chaos theory for the same company. When the two are thrust together due to a misdelivered package and a run of seemingly bad luck, they find a joint project in a flock of sheep. But series of setbacks and disappointments arise before they are able to find answers to their questions.

What worked for me (and what didn’t): Oh, this book was so much fun! I don’t know really that it is properly categorised as science fiction – it’s more science geek but there’s no time travel or alien technology. The book is firmly grounded in the 1990s. In some ways it is a kind of fairy tale, but what it mostly is it fascinating and laugh out loud funny.
