Written in My Own Heart's Blood by Diana Gabaldon

Hey everyone, guess who finally got caught up with this series? My epic re-read is done and I can now join the ever-increasing (I’m just taking for granted that more people will be reading the books as the TV show makes them curious and/or desperate for more Jamie and Claire) ranks of people languishing in wait for the next book. Spoilery part of the review on my blog. When it’s been a while since I’ve read one of her books, I keep forgetting how very […]

With so many exciting parts of the American Revolution you could have written about, Diana, why is there so much boring in the first half of this book?

Disclaimer! If you haven’t read the previous six books in the series, there will be minor spoiler in this review. Proceed at your own risk.  Having finally completed my epic re-read of the previous books in the series at a page count total that is frankly obscene, I finally got to read a new to me Diana Gabaldon.

3.5 stars This is the sixth book in the Outlander series, and really not the place to start reading.

The mass market paperback is over 1400 pages long and the action spans […]

You get a LOT of book for your money here

The Fiery Cross by Diana Gabaldon

3.5 stars This is book 5 in the Outlander series, and really NOT the place to start reading these books. By this point, some of the principal characters have grown to middle age and have children and grandchildren. If you’re interested, say because the TV series is coming to Starz in August, start at the beginning with Outlander. Standard spoiler-warning spiel applies. If you’ve not read the first four books in the series, I cannot be held responsible for any spoilers you may or may not find in this […]
