eBook Downloading Spree

So I got my birthday present a week early from my family. A Kindle 3G which I wanted solely for the purpose of getting cheap eBooks to use for research for my various writing projects. I've had a story in the works for a few years now and recently came up with another one I really really really like a lot and involves a lot of heavy research.

I'm weirdly confident if I played my cards right and got lucky I could have a real chance of being legit published with these books and they might even turn out to be popular. They'd both be in the young adult category. That's only if I actually get off my butt and start writing them. Anyway. I downloaded forty five eBooks today just to research the new book idea I have. I spent a total of thirty six dollars which is crazy cheap. But seriously, if anyone got into my Kindle and looked at them all they'd probably give me a long side eye. lol. I mean, the category title is Myths/Fairy Tales/Folklore/Religions.

Some titles? Mysteria: History of the Secret Doctrines and Mystic Rites of Ancient Religions; Demonicial Possession, Dreams, Ghosts, Lucky & Unlucky Days, Horoscopes, Prognostications, Transformations & the Worship of Animals In Egyptian Majick; Field Guide to the Little People; Old French Fairy Tales...

You get the idea. Here's the thing, I wanted to research ancient religious rituals and practices but you wouldn't believe how hard it is to find books for that. You can find the religious stories themselves and myths but finding stuff that isn't like... super expensive about rituals and priests, priestesses, oracles, and seers is pretty hard. I also kept finding stuff on wiccans and paganism about me learning to embrace my inner goddess and no, I just want to know what sort of rituals you do. Not read a bunch about how I'm some sort of wood nymph.

Whatever though. I'm super pleased with all the spiffy research material I've gathered. Even if it makes me look like a theology student.
