Google Books

What a fantastic service this is. Slowly, Google are negotiating with publishers to publish books in full on the internet.

There are many on there now and it makes researching Goddess in the Thames Valley (snappy title huh!) easier, especially with two kids.

That said, a visit to the local library is definitely called for today; I have a list of books for ordering a mile long.

Link to Google Books; http://books.google.co.uk/books (Books can then be 'saved' to your account.)

Check out this one for Imbolc;
