Podfic beta?

Anyone feel like beta-listening to a podfic of The Maenad of the Maquis by rthstewart? It's a post-canon Narnia story with Peter Pevensie in WWII occupied France, and it has Peter/OFC. It's 1 hour and 40 minutes, and you don't need detailed memories of the Narnia series. I'd need it back by Monday, so I can do any re-records it might need and post it before Amplificathon ends. : )

The Commodore, by Patrick O'Brian

By now, reading the next book in this series feels like coming home. ♥ Also, I love O'Brian's writing style so much. I am coming to realize how much writing style means to me in general when I read--I like to stop and savor the words in a sentence when they really work for me. Anyway, it was good to get back to England and meet Sophie and Diana again! I hope there's more of them in the next book.

Crucible of Gold, by Naomi Novik (seventh in the Temeraire series)

Delightful and readable as always! My geekiness is coming out in unexpected ways, though. I can't help wondering if it's ecologically reasonable that Britain (for example) could support so many, so large predators. I mean, those dragons eat huge amounts of cows and sheep. In this book, they state that there were around 10 million humans in Britain in the 1801 census, and of course I went and checked if this was the same as the real number, which it is. Of course, this is going to more than triple by the year 1900, so obviously there's room for more people productivity-wise (although hmm, was Britain self-sufficient in food then?). At any rate, breeding cows for the dragons would have to take up a lot of extra land and resources.

Er, but apparently I'm prepared to accept that such huge creatures can fly with a little hand-waving about air-sacs. *facepalm*

Audiobook-wise, I am halfway through Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath and enjoying it a lot. More on that when I finish.

Fic-wise, I can recommend London Light, by tweedisgood. It's a lovely snippet of Holmes/Watson/Mrs. Hudson, which I've never considered before, but now I want more of it. Speaking of Sherlock Holmes, is there fic where Holmes and ACD argue about the existence of the supernatural? I can't help but think it would be amusing.
