I read "Fever, 1793" for the first time, and re-read "Year of Wonders". I have Hambly's "Fever Season" on request at my library (just coming from another branch, so I should have it in a couple of days), and I'm plugging through the "Journal of the Plague Year" audio book but finding it pretty heavy going. Too. Many. Statistics.

How's your reading going?

Right now I'm working my way through Fever Season and I have Fever, 1793 (along with a book on the outbreak), Year of Wonders, and An Imperfect Lens from the library. I would've started reading earlier, but I needed to get through a couple other library books I had out.

Fever Season is a pretty interesting book. It doesn't just focus on the disease going around, but it also deals with the race issue at that time in New Orleans. It's a pretty engaging mystery. I'm about halfway through it right now.
