  • Don't do it Jo! You would be mad.

    Kendra it is the most incredible book series I have ever read.

    Here is a synopsis from Goodreads (No spoilers)

    The year is 1945. Claire Randall, a former combat nurse, is back from the war and reunited with her husband on a second honeymoon--when she walks through a standing stone in one of the ancient stone circles that dot the British Isles. Suddenly she is a Sassenach--an "outlander"--in a Scotland torn by war and raiding Highland clans in the year of Our Lord...1743.

    Hurled back in time by forces she cannot understand, Claire is catapulted into intrigues and dangers that may threaten her life...and shatter her heart. For here she meets James Fraser, a gallant young Scots warrior, and becomes a woman torn between fidelity and desire...and between two vastly different men in two irreconcilable lives.

    It is really slow to start but once you are in you are in. The writing is amazing. she is so descriptive and I literally lose track of everything when reading these books. I'm listening to book #2 right now while I run and I can totally zone out and not even realize I'm running. (Thats another way I know it is good. haha)

    WTF WTF WTF WTF?????!!!!!! SH!T!!!!!!!!

    Exactly!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DYING OVER HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Oh my god! How many books do you think she will end up doing? If she went that route there is no way she will end it at 8 she couldn't wrap it up. THANK GOD!

    I KNOW! I thought Book 8 would maybe be the end ... I read somewhere on her blog a LONG time ago that it was planned to end in year 1800, and that it ends well. But that's still 20 some years away from where book 7 ended ... so maybe book 9? I don't know if I can wait for book 9 or 10?!

  • First I have to say that I LOVE that we are texting and on here talking about this at the same time. We have issues.

    2nd I think it will be at least 9 because I was reading a little while ago about how her original deal was for 3 then 4 then 6 then she just kept writing.

     

  • Ooooo! Sounds like my kind of book! I'm going to have to get the first one!

    Where do you get the "books on tape"? I could totally listen to that while I walk to work.

    It's because we don't post spoilers here :)

    But yeah, we may have a bit of obsession regarding these books.

    We are pretty nice like that! :) I do too. I have butterflies in my stomach.

     

    Kendra I have been using audible.com (When I signed up I got 2 free credits (1 credit = 1 book - usually) But you may be able to get them at the library too. I love audible because it downloads to my itunes account and then I use my phone to listen.

  • Um on her website she has her list of books and under Outlander it has a Prequel listed... I had no idea she would do one of those. I want her to finish the story first then she can go backwards!

    Have you read any of LJG's series?

    Funny that I texted you exactly this, before I saw your post. HA.

    I do not want a prequel. I want the happy ending of the story!!!!

    I haven't read any of the LJG series. Although, it does give insight into certain periods of Jamie's life that might be interesting (crucial, even?) to the stories. She says they are essentially part of the Outlander series. Maybe I should read them. Have you?

  • Mindreader! Stick out tongue

    Ugh.... what if it isn't a happy ending? I will seriously bawl my freaking eyes out! (Not that I won't when it ends no matter what!)

    I haven't read them yet though I think I will before book 8 comes out. Any chance to spend time with Jamie sounds good to me. hehe. LJG isn't my fav character but I'll deal.

    I've been searching for that post I saw a long time ago, but no luck ... I am sure it will be a happy ending (I have to hope!). Now happy to me might mean something different than it does for DG, but I'm sure what I think is what you think too.

    I don't like the twist at the end of Echo with LJG and C. He's just strange.

  • He is strange! The twist is strange but I bet it plays out amazingly well. I'll text you what a tragic ending would be for me.

    Here is the link I mentioned. Check the 3rd question.

  • All I'm going to say is damnn her!!!
  • You two are killing me! I don't really like LJG (I'm about 1/5 through the 4th book) so I don't know how I feel about him coming back. I was really hoping he was dunzo.

    Sarah I have one more comment since I read farther down the page...

    A prequel is under contract, but not touched yet. There is no publication date set. It will detail the story of Jamie?s parents, Brian and Ellen Fraser. Diana has mentioned that she will do the prequel in three short novellas.

    That would be cool!

    I read that too! It would be very cool. Will it somehow tie into book 8???? (think about it)
