Please pretend it is Wednesday, just for the duration of this post.
What I've Read Recently
Finished beta reads of books #1 and #2 of Lindsay Buroker's new urban fantasy series, as well as a reread of the first 3 books in the Rizzoli & Isles book series (the first of which does not have any Isles): The Surgeon, The Apprentice, The Sinner. These are comfort rereads for me and take a couple hours at most to get through, and I need a lot of comfort rereads in winter. Epidemiology cases are also comfort reads for me, because I am aweird perfectly normal epidemiologist and thus find them soothing ... so I also read Diagnosis by Lisa Sanders.
What I'm Reading Now
The Deadly Dinner Party (And Other Medical Detective Stories) by Jonathan Edlow, who is trying to write in the style of Berton Roueché, the writer who made me want to become an epidemiologist in the first place. His works were well-loved by my family and I started absorbing them like an eager sponge at ten or eleven. I now have all the cases completely memorized, so they've lost reread value -- I was glad to find this book, since Edlow really does emulate the style well with all-new cases (even if I'm now so well-versed in mystery diagnoses that I solve many of them ahead of the report, it's still an enjoyable read).
What I'm Reading Next
Greek Key by KB Spangler. It seems like a good place to pause the Rachel series and switch to Hope, and I'm also trying to binge-finish my Goodreads challenge (thankfully I am a fast reader) after a bad couple of months (plus the books I beta read won't show up, since they aren't being published until January/February) so I'm just going to eagerly zoom through everything I own.
