Voyager (Outlander)
QUICK NOTE: While I don’t think I gave anything away in this particular review (in regards to the storyline), I couldn’t help but quote my most memorable Jamie and Claire moments from this book. *somewhat* spoiler-ish (in regards to their situation), but then again, I don’t give away the “circumstance” so, it should be okay 😉 If you’re like me and like to go into a story not knowing anything, (I LOVE surprises), then proceed at your own risk, with this review.

Book Review – Dragonfly In Amber by Diana Gabaldon
Dragonfly in Amber (Outlander, Book 2)
Book #2 in the Outlander series had my attention, but I was not always riveted to the story. It progressed nicely, albeit somewhat confusingly. We jump from the 1900’s to the 1700’s and back again as Claire recounts her astounding tale, and it was enough to make me panic a bit (Claire went back to the future?? She’s back with Frank? She’s got a daughter! What?! HELP! What happened to Jamie?!)
It’s safe to say the beginning (and that is how it starts) alarmed me, but my despair had me bound and determined to find out where this was going…

Dragonfly in Amber (Outlander, Book 2)
Not many updates from me on the “book front” these days, but only because I have been kidnapped by the never-ending, Christmas-spirited, shopping-monster (aka my husband 😉 )
This is my husband’s favorite time of the year, and he quite literally turns into a character in one of those Disney-Christmas-specials (all jovial and excited, planning decorations, and Christmas capers). Considering we live in Florida, and that “White Christmas” feeling never really comes to fruition, it’s an even bigger job for us to get into the Christmas spirit.
Book Review – Outlander by Diana Gabaldon
Outlander
Frequently recommended to me (especially by my sister and niece), I decided to give this series a try, when book #1 was given away as a free e-book. What a perfect opportunity! I’ll admit, the first quarter of the book didn’t floor me, but it didn’t take much longer than that, and I was swept away into the 1700’s and didn’t want to come back 😉 No vampires, no Weres, no mystical gods in this one, however the time travel mystery that takes Claire Randall away from her home and husband to another time (and another man’s arms *gasp*) was good enough for me!

Whoa, this has been a busy work week (and still is cause I’m working as we speak). But I thought I’d drop in with a note saying I’ll be back soon, and I’ll be reviewing Outlander.
WOW this is a GREAT book, so far. Is the whole series this good? I don’t know how many people I’ve told the premise to this weekend. I bet I’ll have a whole slew of new “converts”. This one was a free e-book (900 pages long I think!), but I’m hooked, so I’ll be buying more. I can’t stop at just one.
