Because someone had to restart this thread after the move. What are you reading, how is it, and would you recommend it?

Uft. I am reading:

The Gods of the Celts by Miranda Green, The Book of English Magic by Carr-Gomm and Richard Heygate and
The Lore of the Land: A Guide to England's Legends, from Spring-Heeled Jack to the Witches of Warboys by Jennifer Westwood.

And two more that have not been finished totally:

The Battle That Stopped Rome: Emperor Augustus, Arminius, and the Slaughter of the Legions in the Teutoburg Forest by Peter S. Wells and The Four Swans by Winston Graham.

....I have a lot of reading to do.

I'd recommend pretty much all of them, although the Magic of England book is a little light-- sort of a visitor's guide to everything from Druids to ley lines to modern magic and dowsing and... fah. So, a little sparse if you like attention to detail.

I am currently reading Fifty Shades of Grey. My goal is to finish it and then post a review on my blog (my fiftieth post) but....I don't know if I can make it!

So, to preserve my sanity, I'm also reading The Snow Queen's Shadow by Jim C. Hines, because Jim C. Hines is amazing.
