All this Outlander talk...

Jen748 · September 2013

Has me wanting to finish the series. I am WAY ahead in my early reading goal. I could tackle a few long books. I finished Outlander, and even bought a few of the others at HPB when they were super cheap. I LOVE sweeping long series, but I just haven't gone ahead and read them for some reason.

It's making me want to read them...for the first time.

LOL! He's shaking his head at the fact that you haven't finished the series yet.

PhoenixRising11 · September 2013

I am pretty sure he is shaking his head because there are just no words for how true it is that you need to read it. Is this it? Am I right?

I also have not read it. I need to read it. I just don't know that I am ready to give up my entire life to it. And that's how I am. All or nothing.

Jen748 · September 2013

Okay, this makes much more sense. And I know! I KNOW. I should be ashamed. I am ashamed.

No hiding necessary (unless you hate it, of course :P ). Just read it already!

I read one a year and I think that is a great pace. I finished Voyager back in March.

nocturnalintimacy · September 2013

I haven't picked up the series since The Fiery Cross. It's been a few years, so I've sort of forgotten what happened.

I read straight through the series until I got to The Fiery Cross. It took me a while to pick up A Breath of Snow and Ashes afterwards, but it ended up being one of my favorites!

I still need to read An Echo in the Bone.

lab7979 · September 2013

I still need to read An Echo in the Bone. I've started it but then my time with it was up and it went back to the library. I'm not in a huge hurry to read it. I know once I'm done I'll have to wait for the next book so I"m trying to drag it out a little so I don't have to wait as long.

I'm so intimidated by it. Even though I've read plenty of super long books, this is several super long books in a series that seems like it will take over my life. It sounds so amazing though.

NicoleAnne416 · September 2013

It's definitely worth it and it does seem to take over because they take me forever to read. I usually read other books in the middle of the Outlander books too, so I just stop reading for awhile and then go back to it for awhile, etc. I read about one or two a year and am 1/3 through ABOSAA.

sonore32 · September 2013

I was inspired to pick up the first book in the series today at my library. I'm lucky because our library has a permanent used book sale room so I got it for $.25

Next book is coming out in March 2014.

nbalkin · September 2013

All the Outlander talk made me also want to try reading it again since i didn't make it very far the last time.

ceresas · September 2013

I've read and/or listened to books 1-3 three times now. I'm on my first complete re-read of the series to prepare for book 8 in March. Right now I'm about 100 pages into Drums of Autumn, but then I got distracted when @funkypineapple sent me the HP series.

My goal is to make it all the way through Echo before March.

You're welcome

TFC stalled me on the series and I've since made it to the middle of ABOSAA. Strange that I haven't finished the series yet. It's my goal before the next one though

Pebble_Cafe · September 2013

I'm still on Drums of Autumn. About 200 pages in for over a year now.

I did the same thing around 300 pages in. Turns out around page 350 this book finally gets going. Oops!

I also did it with TFC, which really didn't get better, but it was worth it to be able to read ABOSAA, which was good, lol.

I'm sorry but I got a chuckle out of the fact that your siggy says that you are 73 weeks pregnant!

RevJen · September 2013

DO IT!

jason&robin · September 2013

I am a slow reader. I am just one of those people that reads every word and I probably read it in my head about as fast as I would read it out loud. I read The Fiery Cross in January. I started it as my first book of the year because I knew it would take me a while. It took me 2 months. ugh That's a long time for one book with no breaks. I have been reading this series off and on for about 4-5 years and each time I go to read another book in the series, I get very intimidated. I always end up loving them but it takes a huge jump for me to start one. I think I will read the next one in January of next year. That way, I know how much time I have left to get my reading goal. I am ahead of it now but for a while, I was 3-4 books behind because of the time I took to read TFC.

jason&robin · September 2013

I'll also add that, while I was reading TFC, I kept track of the page count and she wrote about one single day and it took up the first 150 pages of the book. Oh my goodness. I love it but it also drives me nuts.

After I posted, I took my copy off the shelf and started from where I left off. I forgotten how much I missed Jamie and Claire.

jkfranklin · September 2013

I got about halfway through TFC and its been sitting there not being read for well over a year. (Embarrassed face). It is my goal to finish it before the end of the year.
