I think I'm a bit intimidated by its popularity and not sure if I'll love it. Your review encourages me, though. I really do need to commit and give it a go.Angiegirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00353676756221692186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-285552714359981402.post-57480567221587132472010-08-25T15:41:55.160-05:002010-08-25T15:41:55.160-05:00I've only read Outlander, and I liked it.

I'm so impressed by her storytelling and world building and I would guess she's a very interesting speaker too!<br /><br />@Bailey - If you read it, let me know what you think!<br /><br />@Compski - I think you were one of several that told me about the series, and I'm sure I'll get to reading them all eventually!<br /><br />@thebookstop - That's so cool that you went to Scotland after reading this! It was such a picturesque book that it definitely made me long to go there, too! And you're very right about Claire, I loved her character. At first I thought she was a little too modern for her time but the more I thought about her having experiences as a war nurse, it made sense for her to be strong and decisive.lisa :)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11429572773434109490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-285552714359981402.post-64555049047761138692010-08-14T06:54:56.994-05:002010-08-14T06:54:56.994-05:00I love this series, I'm glad you enjoyed it! ...I love this series, I'm glad you enjoyed it! I was in Scotland years ago and remember seeing Cross Stitch everywhere. I was curious what they'd think of the book there but it seemed very popular. This book actually inspired me to visit Scotland and it was absolutely wonderful. I also liked how non-traditional Claire and Jamie's relationship was. Claire is such a strong character and she stays that way throughout.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-285552714359981402.post-51069703846231068642010-08-09T21:30:44.064-05:002010-08-09T21:30:44.064-05:00I am glad you liked it.

Somewhere in my many books I have an autographed copy of Dragonfly in Amber.Melissahttp://www.nounsandviolets.comnoreply@blogger.com
