The Outlander series of books that follow the Jamie & Claire story are a good read...I recommend reading them...

I have enjoyed it tremendously! It's just that I have done little else but read the last couple of days. Okay I cooked dinner, done the dishes and done some stuff in the garden yesterday. But mainly I've been reading
 The book is even more addictive than the series! The only reason I could, and had to put it down, was that I nearly fell asleep in my chair. Had it not been an Ebook, I surely would've continued reading in bed till I would indeed pass out, lol I haven't got an E-reader, and I cannot really take my pc to bed now, can I, haha. I almost fear getting part 2 in, as my house needs cleaning and I need to move, and I'm sure if I get it in, I will spend another 3 days sat in a chair, glued to my screen, reading and reading and reading ... Not healthy, but dang ... I love it! |

I hear ya...That's what happened to me when I first started the book, and it just got worse with each book that came out..But I learnt to rush around and do everything that I needed to do, so I could sit and read..Night was the worst because I would continue till the early hours of the morning reading, not wanting to stop the story and sleep...Have a break before getting the 2nd one in...I started re-reading the whole series again, and the same thing, can't put the books down..All the best...hahaha...

Got book 2 in and found out yesterday that you can download the Ebooks! (torrents) for free :p
What I find peculiar is that when reading you don't visualize the actors from the series at all. Which to me means it is stunningly well written. And I must admit that I think the books are better than the series, even though I love it. I've read ppl say that you can really feel the chemistry between the actors, there's even rumours that they're dating in RL. But I must say I miss the depth of connection that is described so well in the books. When reading you can really feel the deep soul connection between Jamie & Claire, I don't get that feeling when watching the series? Anyway, enjoying both books and series. In October part 8 will be published, did you know that? |

Having read the books years before the series was created, except for the last book which came out 2 months ago, you can actually see the connection forming on the series each week..You can see it in the way he looks at her with what someone called 'moon eyes', lol, and I think it is because I know exactly whats going to happen etc..I loved the Rent episode, the scenery was beautiful, and I look forward to the 7th Episode which is The Wedding, which all fans are hanging out for and wanting to watch the wedding night unfold...
All the way through the rest of the books right up till the last one, that whole soul connection continues, and it is really beautiful how it is written...I have never enjoyed reading this series of books so much... There was a big outcry that Sam Heughan didn't fit every fans idea of Jamie, and to be honest, he really plays and suits the part well...The chemistry with him and Caitriona is great, on and off screen... |

Sam Heughan is quite well cast I think. Sure he looks different from what I had in mind, but you always got that. He does have that slightly innocent thing about him that Jamie also had in the books, being quite young still.
Someone pointed out to me that he didn't appear to be as tall and big as Jamie is being described in the books, and true, he isn't all that muscular, but I think it has more to do with Caitriona being rather tall, taller than the Clair in the books. I still don't find the 2nd book as catching as the first. It feels to me like Diana sort of lost the connection with the characters a bit? Being a writer myself, although I have not published yet, I know this sometimes tends to happen. I am still enjoying it though. So the wedding isn't till episode 7. Dang. I was hoping it would be the next episode, which is ep 6 :'( |

When I read the 2nd book it was like what..?..but then as it unfolds you can't wait to the 3rd book, it just gets more and more addictive..
Sam is 6'3, and Jamie was described as being over 6 foot in the book, and yes Caitriona is tall herself, so doesn't make Sam look any taller.. The series is great, not just because of the storyline but also the scenery, the clothes, everything together makes it awesome...I wouldn't mind learning the Gaelic..Love the sound when they speak it.. |

you are absolutely right about the scenery, clothes etc! Love that as well. She wears these typical shawl/scarves. I'm trying to make one. A friend of mine who's addicted to the series and books as well, found out it's crochet, not knitted. Now I can knit, make clothes no matter how difficult, but crochet is something I've never mastered :/ So I'm trying my good ole knitting needles :)

I belong to a forum site with Outlander discussions & stuff, where alot of the members are knitting and crocheting the cowl neck scarves...I love her cloak with the fur on it..It's beautiful..20 years after the first book and the story continues as they are in their 40's, it is still an amazing read, so keep reading..

I will!
And I think Jamie & Claire being in their 40s in later books, is the reason why they went for these two actors as well, both being 34. So they can get away with playing a younger character still, and as the series progresses, easily be made to look a tad older. If each book will be a season, they'll be 40 - or close to it - themselves by that time anyways. Maybe I will try the crocheting after all ... My friend found something online on how to do one. And yes, the cloak with the fur, lovely! Wonderful to be able to wear dresses like that :) I had the opportunity myself a couple of times, attending Medieval events with my pagan web-shop. Events where ppl where supposed to dress up for the occasion, so lots of women in 17-18th century outfits, some posh, some more witchy, men in kilts, chain mail and so on. And me, as shop proprietor, dressed up for the occasion as well of course. Event lasted 3 days, outdoors, had my shop stuff in a tent. Wonderful experience, felt really 'me', hihi. Although I got rather fed up with the iron baleens in my corset. But wearing really long, flowing dresses that caress your ankles when you walk, makes you feel so feminine! Having to lift up the skirt if you go up a stile, that kind of thing, loved it! |

It will be interesting to see just how far they take the series...Hopefully its the whole 8 books that are out now... |
