The Pets in Space series of anthologies have delivered some of my favorite sci-fi romantic adventures and introduced me to several series that are top reads for me.  I adore how there is a theme of pets and a vast majority of sci-fi worlds and situations.  Like with previous anthologies in the series, I’ll be […]

Over the last year, I’ve been revisiting old Elizabeth Peters’ books on audio.  I was very taken with the dry wit and amusing light romantic suspense capers of the Vicky Bliss series the first time through many years ago and I’ve found that they stand the test of time, particularly in audio format.
