- About My Library
I tend to read more non-fiction than fiction (although some long-time loves do make their appearance in my library!) The collection is eclectic, mostly focused on Medieval and Renaissance Europe, with a few other books picked up for content or for theoretical purposes and approaches. I love history both for learning about the many pasts that contribute to today, but also the art and craft of History as a discipline, so I read and enjoy history monographs quite deeply!
