I just got done reading The Times of Their Lives: Life, Love and Death in Plymouth Colony, by James Deetz and Patricia Scott Deetz. (This was my bedtime book - ironically, the previous one had also been by J. Deetz.) I enjoyed the book quite a bit. There was a lot of detail regarding the lives of people from early Plymouth, and a lot having to do with archaeology and the methods by which we can learn about previous generations. Definitely a keeper - good reference material on both topics.
My new reading plan means it's taking me a lot longer to finish a book than it used to. I have three bedtime books - two that I'm reading a short section at a time and one that I'm reading in whatever time is left after that - plus a car book that I don't get a lot of time to work on now that I'm not picking Greyson up from school.
For "regular" reading, I'm doing a chapter at a time in nine different books, with a fiction in between. My nine books are all either just getting started or really long, so it's taking me a long time to get through them. And as I've noted before, I'm working through Jan Karon's Mitford series as my fictions, and while I'm really enjoying it, there hasn't been a lot new to note - they're uniformly pretty good. Next up is the last one, though. After that, I think I may start on a series by Conrad Richter that my Aunt Sarah sent me for my birthday.
