Welcome to Litsy!

Boo #7 in the series. This book is quite different than the earlier ones which have started where the last left off. This one starts prior to the ending of the last, but from a different point of view. While Claire & Jamie could never be supporting characters of the story - lord John & William are much more prominent with much of the story from their point of view. It‘s not my favorite because of that - but I get it‘s importance in future books.

This 7th installment of the outlander series was AMAZING! I laughed, I cried, I also gasped! I give it 5 outta 5 🌟

As Claire and Jamie's journey continues they find themselves in America fighting in the War of Independence. If you like historical fiction, then you will like this series. A theme in this novel is the power of knowing vs. saying - as seen in how Claire knows how the war will turn out, but who will listen to her?

This weekend is all about staying inside and getting house projects done. We‘ve been on the go since the summer it feels like, so it‘s time to have some quiet weekends at home. Looking at making a dent in this one and attempting to finish my audiobook (The Right to Arm Bears) while working on the house projects #weekendreading

This week I have been mostly reading

#historicalfiction #Outlander #Scotland

Again with those beautiful descriptions. Must be some of my favorite parts of the books. ✨

Finally done. This has been the least enjoyable of the series so far. the last 300 pages were the best part but the book was 1149 pages. Up next something light, a palette cleaner.

I am exhausted. I am not going to meet my #Awesome August goal. I am ok with my progress reading somewhere around 500 pages in the last 2 days. My new personal goal is to finish this week. @Andrew65

Halfway point of this book. Only 565 pages to go (roughly). However, this has been my least favorite of the series so far. I am having a hard time staying focused, but I don't want to give up because I have loved this series until this point. #AwesomrAugust @Andrew65

I only have one goal, to finish this one large book. #AwesomeAugust @Andrew65

Nobody in this house care that 186 pages is only 16% of this book. #LucyGray snuggles make it a little better.

About to have to quarantine again, assuming all the travel plans work out, so I‘m stocking up on e-books from the local library:)

It has been a long time since I posted. I‘m still here. And still reading. All of these lockdowns and having everyone home so much, really throws me off though. I miss my alone time. A. Lot. This week I‘m trying to lose myself in a bit of Jamie Fraser. I miss you Littens. I‘m going to have to try harder.

As usual, there are parts I…just don‘t care about. But the parts I DO care about make up for it. (Mostly. Still kinda salty though.) #anechointhebone #dianagabaldon #outlander #jamiefraser #clairefraser

The authors beautiful, descriptive writing really takes you into the story. However it can sometimes feel like over description and detract from the story as well. By the time you near the end, you‘ve had enough, but it‘s those last 100-200 pages (of an 800+ page book) where all of the action is - and it‘s really good. So that‘s why I‘m giving this one 4 stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Wow, Jamie and Claire live such eventful lives. As the tale continues we find them traveling to Scotland and back, always on the brink of danger or mishap. Brianna and Roger are also not fated to live the quiet life, with letters from the past and even visitors from there too. It was an interesting and very long read, with twists and turns which kept me on my toes and wanting to read just one more chapter.

I liked this one. I like the 20th century storyline, and I liked Claire, Jamie and Ian‘s storylines, as well. I lost a lot of interest in Lord John Grey and William‘s parts in the book, though. Up until William met up with Ian. I do normally like John Grey, but I just couldn‘t get interested in his parts. I enjoy the medical history in the book – Claire's 20th century knowledge tin the 18th century. There were a couple of surprises at the end.

Time for another “chunkster” at 1,149 pages!

I‘m so glad the pace of these books has picked up again! There was a lot that happened in this one. Some of it shocking and completely heart wrenching. I can‘t wait to see what happens next!

Just arrived *squeee*

Just so good

Outlander # 7 The 2nd best book in the saga! Loved it! I love James and Claire, and the plot still manages to surprise.

I finally started my #chunksterchallenge2020 book. It always takes me weeks to read an Outlander book, so I thought reading a little each week would be better. I read about 5% tonight. According to the current GR page count, it‘s about 1100 pages. @Amiable

Using my day off to make some progress on this thick boy. Loving the Outlander series.

#gratefulreads #Over500pages
I don't read books over 500 pages if I don't really like them so it's tough to choose a favorite! 😆 But I do particularly love the seventh installment of the Outlander series. My best friend is currently reading the third book and I hope she continues because I can't wait to discuss this one with her.

We got home from Vietnam late last night, and my day has been spent with doing laundry and other chores you have to do when you return from holiday. I did find some time to finish this (finally!), also. Travelling around Vietnam didn‘t leave me much time or energy to read, but as always, it was a pleasure to spend my holiday with Claire and Jamie. While the Outlander books are no way near perfect, they are entertaining and perfect beach reads, imo

After a few days of fever and stomach issues, and having to move hotel because of rats (YES RATS!!!! 🐀🐀🐀), we finally had a day at the beach near Hoi An today. And, of course, I got a sunburn 😅 my travelling karma is really bad at the moment, but I‘m still loving Vietnam 🙌

This has been my reading view for the last few days ? Ha Long Bay is just stunning!

Tonight we are taking a 13 hour train to Hué, but first! One last round of Hanoi street food ?

#Vietnam

Train reading on the way to the airport ✈️

For the last couple of years, I have brought an Outlander book as one of my vacation reads, and this year is no exception. I‘m excited to get my yearly Jamie Fraser fix 😍

#currentlyreading

1. Outlander #7, along with several others. I fell into my classic problem of picking up around 9 books at once! 😱 2 The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo. 3. Read at least 150 pages each day for The Reading Rush!

Finally found a copy of each book in the outlander series. Now to wait for the bees 🐝

This is probably my favorite book the series so far. Gabaldon throws us into the midst of the American Revolution and effectively describes the desperation, fear, fierce pride, and sheer determination of survival. As always, her research is impeccable. 5 out of 5 stars.
