This ain’t lesser Outlander, okay???

Wyldwood: Book One by Tava Baird

January 2, 2023 by katie71483 1 Comment

I confess, when I was offered the chance at a free copy of Tava Baird’s Wyldwood: Book One in exchange for a fair review, I may have rolled my eyes a bit at the description. I TAKE IT BACK, OKAY? I take it back. It is a beautiful book, obviously a true labor of love. Love of history, love of magic, love of romance, love of culture. My default comparison to Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander Saga was not at all a fair one. Understandable maybe, but […]

Clanlands: Whisky, Warfare, and a Scottish Adventure Like No Other by Sam Heughan & Graham McTavish

June 10, 2021 by narfna Leave a Comment

I have not seen the STARZ TV show this book is the account of making, but this book (and the audiobook specifically) was a pretty good time. (STARZ insisted on naming the TV show Men in Kilts, but its original name was Clanlands, as this book makes pretty clear without actually stating it.) If you want something extremely goofy, spotted through with Scottish history, this is your book. The book is told by both Graham and Sam in alternating POV sections as they narrate the […]

In which I begin to question my choices

Dragonfly in Amber by Diana Gabaldon

January 23, 2021 by Ellesfena 9 Comments

Series: Outlander. I read book 1 in 2015. What I remember about this series prior to reading this book: Not much. A married nurse in Scotland accidentally goes back in time and falls in love with a big, hairy Scotsman from several centuries ago. There’s a lot of disturbing sexual violence and the first book was ridiculously long. Why I stopped reading the series: See above re: sexual violence and book length. The plot: Claire (the nurse from Book 1) is back in her own […]

Outlander by Diana Gabaldan

June 17, 2020 by vel veeter 2 Comments

I found myself in France last year in an apartment for a week and they had “French Netflix” which mostly just meant that they had less, but different things for us to watch. My wife had already watched season 1 (and maybe 2) of Outlander and so we started where she left off while I peppered her with lots of questions to fill me in on what I missed. I missed a lot and still the show was decidedly compelling. The novel is even more compelling. […]

Finally caught up! #CBRBingo

Written In My Own Heart's Blood (Outlander, #8) by Diana Gabaldon

November 27, 2018 by narfna 2 Comments

I liked this one as much as I liked Dragonfly in Amber and Drums of Autumn. A definite improvement over the last several books, although I did enjoy #7 as well, if not quite as much. I’m officially caught up on this series now, and that feels weird! These books are so long, and they’re still not done! Not even going to try and sum up what happened in this book. It was a lot. There was a lot of drama, but unlike in past […]
