#1: Dragonfly in Amber and #2: Voyager by Diana Gabaldon

I said that I wasn't going to blog about books in 2015 unless they moved me in some way, or I felt the need to write about a particular book.  Well, I do intend to keep that promise, mostly to myself because I began to dread writing about each and every book I read.  But, I do plan to list the books I read in this blog so that I can continue to have a record of what I read.

Dragonfly in Amber and Voyager are the second and third books in the Outlander series, to which I have become addicted.  I have watched the entire first season of Outlander twice, I now own the CD's for season one and listen to the beautiful music in my car, and Rob gave me a page-a-day calendar that sits on my bedside table.  I have not yet begun book 4, although I did buy it and it's just waiting for me, because my good friend Scottie has not yet finished Voyager and I don't like to read when I can't talk to her about what I am reading, so I am waiting until she starts reading book 4 to begin it myself.

Outlander is the greatest epic love story I have ever read.  It makes you think and feel and it has caused my relationship with Google to expand, as I look up places and historical events that I never dreamed of learning about.  I can't not wait to begin book 4 and I really can't wait for the second season of Outlander to start on Starz in April.  Rob even watched the first season with me, so this isn't just a girlie story.  Now, I doubt he'd read the books (they are insanely long--Voyager is 870 pages--dense, long pages), but he will watch it with me when it comes back to TV.

This is a great series to pick up if you aren't afraid of long books and want to read an amazing story.

Happy reading!
