Today on #bookshelfbucketlist: #joshbazell's #BeattheReaper! This is another book I picked up on cover value alone (designed by #RebeccaBazell)! This one sounds like a truly unique novel in my collection, part medical drama part mob drama based around Dr. Peter Brown "an Intern at Manhattan's worst hospital" running around trying to protect his patients not only from what's ailing them but also from "Goons" and "G-men" running amok in his hospital! This one's definitely out of my usual literary wheel house which makes me even more anxious to check it out. Anyone ever read this #supense# thriller before? books #BooksandBobbins #bookshelfbucketlist #booksonbooksonbooks #bookclubofchampions #showmeyourbooks https://www.instagram.com/p/B__EDfGg_C3/?igshid=6l8yq0martbh

My own feeling is that there are eleven or so different kinds of intelligence, and at least forty different kinds of stupidity. Most of which I’ve experienced firsthand.

He makes our heart sing

We had a very fun night celebrating the publication of Josh Bazell’s Wild Thing. Here he is at The Strand, in conversation with Malcolm Jones of Newsweek/The Daily Beast, where, among other things, he discussed his childhood love of 75-cent paperbacks, why he found a serial killer’s x-ray a hopeful sign for humanity, and the enduring appeal of the Loch Ness monster. If you’ve ever met Josh, you know this is only the tip of the iceberg that is his enormous, encyclopedic mind, where fun, fascinating, occasionally disgusting facts are always within reach. (For further proof, check out “Sorry You Asked,” where he answers questions about flesh-eating bacteria, cockroach-ear infestations – and more! http://www.joshbazell.com/sorry-you-asked/) At a festive dinner later, Josh’s family and friends toasted his success. Here are two key members of Team Josh, agent Markus Hoffman and publicist Sabrina Callahan. And Larry Kramer was there, too! #thrilling

Wild Thing by Josh Bazell

Dr. Pietro Brnwa hates his job as a cruise ship doctor, but since he is on the run from the mob, he can't afford to be too picky.  So when an old friend contacts him for a seemingly simple job, Pietro jumps at the chance.  Seriously, who wouldn't want to be the babysitter for a beautiful paleontologist...on an expedition...to rural Minnesota...to look for a lake monster.....

Maybe the cruise ship wasn't such a bad gig after all!

I have been waiting for this book for over 15 months.  Bazell's first novel, Beat the Reaper was so hilarious and well footnoted that I had to read this one.  So if you are in the mood for something completely off the wall, I suggest you pick this up right away.

PS. If you want a signed copy, stop by Murder by the Book, but be quick.  They only received a limited amount and I've already bought mine!!!!
