I am getting back into 40k and I am going to start with blood angles. But I would like to catch up on all the fluff for the chapter.
What is a good source for info? Other then the codex, I am thinking novels but not sure which to start with.

The big novels for Blood Angels right now are (I believe):
Deus Encamine
Deus Sanguinius
Red Fury
Black Tide
in that order.

Check that for a little about each.

I might add that it's Blood Angels, geometry isn't their forte.
The Blood Angels Omnibus is horrible IMHO, you may enjoy it but it doesn't really do anything for the Blood Angels fluff IMHO. As much as it pains me to say it, the Codex is probably the best place to go (and Lexicanum), but AFAIK the Blood Angels fluff is some of the worst out there atm...

Deus Encamine and Deus Sanguinius are both good books, but not completely fluff accurate

I guess that defines on how you'd describe 'good'.
