Review: What Happens in London

What Happens in London by Julia Quinn
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Who is the real spy: Olivia Bevelstoke who has taken to watching her new neighbor or Sir Harry Valentine? This set up for the story is both intriguing and a bit funny at times. Olivia doesn't realize that Harry knows she is watching him. However, when they first meet it becomes clear he knew she was spying on him. Harry finds Olivia to be a very different person than he would have expected. She seems to be unfeeling. What makes her societies darling?

I really enjoyed this story, and the funny Gothic novel that all the characters, except our main characters seem to be in love with.

This was another fun novel from Julia Quinn. I'm looking forward to reading the next in the series..

Review: Time Travel: A History

Time Travel: A History by James Gleick
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I listened the the audiobook of this. I enjoyed it. However, I realized that not having read many of the books discussed in here I was missing out on some of the history of writing about time travel. I did find it interesting and am looking forward to reading or listening to many of the books that were mentioned in here.

Time travel is not as old an idea as I would have thought.

Review: Any Duchess Will Do

Any Duchess Will Do by Tessa Dare
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Griff is kidnapped by his mother and taken to Spindle Cove to select a wife. He selects Pauline, the barmaid. The set up for this story was amazing and I enjoyed the characters. Griff seems to fall for Pauline quickly at least as far as attraction goes. Pauline has a similar attraction but hers seemed less hurried.

I guess the rags to riches story had more appeal to me than I thought it would.
