The Boudica Series (warning though, very very heavy) - Manda Scott (Dreaming the Eagle, Dreaming the Bull, Dreaming the Hound and Dreaming the Serpent Spear)


Thanks :D

I just got that, but in old fashioned, steam powered hardback. Have you read 'Moab is my Washpot'? And is it necessary to have read that first?

No, I never read that. I don't believe so though, the book so far seems to be working fine as a standalone :P

Just got a book called The Occult Roots of Nazism, I think it should make for an interesting read.
