I’ve been in a reading slump lately. This has happened periodically throughout my life and is usually broken by a long browse in a good bookstore. For various reasons, I haven’t had a chance to stop by our wonderful local bookstore in town for more than a minute or two to pick up something specific (like this book about Beatrix Farrand!) But I’ll admit to not knowing what to read next.

I’m a fairly broad reader. I love mysteries and literary fiction, books about families, books about houses. I read a fair amount of academic research still (a holdover from my days working at a research institution in Washington with a Beatrix Farrand-designed garden), and historical non-fiction. But when I’m in a reading slump, having varied tastes becomes a hindrance because I just can’t decide what to read next! I’d love to hear what you’re reading, and what you like to read. Please share!
