Sandra Foster studies fads and their meanings for the HiTek corporation. Bennett 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 a series of setbacks and disappointments arise before they are able to find answers to their questions - with the unintended help of the errant, forgetful, and careless office assistant Flip.

Connie Willis is a favorite, and this one was no exception. Quirky tangled pieces somehow manage to fit together to make a delightful story I enjoyed from start to finish.

On a cold and snowy night in 1910, Ursula Todd is born to an English banker and his wife. She dies before she can draw her first breath. On that same cold and snowy night, Ursula Todd is born, lets out a lusty wail, and embarks upon a life that will be, to say the least, unusual. For as she grows, she also dies, repeatedly, in a variety of ways, while the young century marches on towards its second cataclysmic world war.

In a not-too-distant future, a simple outpatient procedure that has been promised to increase empathy between romantic partners has become all the rage. So when Briddey Flannigan's fiancé proposes that he and Briddey undergo the procedure, she is delighted! Only, the results aren't quite as expected. Instead of gaining an increased empathetic link with her fiancé, Briddey finds herself hearing the actual thoughts of one of the nerdiest techs in her office. And that's the least of her problems.

Love the Whole Series
Revisado: 02-07-16
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Emphatically yes! I have loved this series since middle school and was just waiting for it to go on sale so I could snap up the ones I was missing without my husband killing me. I will admit to chain listening for about a month - bliss!
What about Barbara Rosenblat’s performance did you like?
I have enjoyed Barbara Rosenblat in many books and she does not disappoint here.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes, then start the next one.

Enjoyable for What It Is
Revisado: 02-07-16
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
If you are looking for a release from reality for a bit, yes. Did it edify me as an individual, no, but that isn't really why you pick HR.
Would you listen to another book narrated by Kirsten Potter?
Sure.

Loved It
Revisado: 02-07-16
Where does Doomsday Book rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Toward the top of my list.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Doomsday Book?
One particular moment isn't really important, it is the way they are weaved together that makes the book interesting and enjoyable.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
No, I liked to process a bit. You get to look at history in a different way and it deserves time.
Any additional comments?
Well worth your credit.

Emily Pollifax is one of a precious few gray-haired female sleuths who solve their cases through unflagging determination, moral courage and wisdom that comes with age. In "The Amazing Mrs. Pollifax", Emily answers the call of that “nice Mr. Carstairs” to go to Istanbul as a courier and search for a missing agent.

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
This book is way down my list of books to recommend. It touches on an interesting aspect of history, but it didn't wow me. It was one that I put down several times before making it to the end.

Weaving a vibrant tapestry of fact and fiction, Into the Wilderness sweeps us into another time and place...and into the heart of a forbidden, incandescent affair between a spinster Englishwoman and an American frontiersman. Here is an epic of romance and history that will captivate readers from the start.
