Why aren't you reading OUTLANDER?! If you aren't....

Laurie Lyda, thank you, thank you, thank you for introducing the OUTLANDER series by Diana Gabaldon to me!!!  I LOVE it!  I share it with everyone I can!  I even bought the audio CD and downloaded it to my computer so I can share the CDs, too!!!  So now I have the mass market paperback version (it's falling apart from being read so often), the audio CDs, and now the digital ebook!!!  And I just purchased the ebooks for books 2-4!  They're all on sale through Amazon.com (Kindle) for $4.99!!!  I can't resist!!!!  The digital reader is so much easier to hold than a massive book of over a thousand pages!  Don't get me wrong, now.  I love the actual books, but I don't mind having the ebooks, too!  In fact, while reading OUTLANDER this time on the digital reader, I had to get my paperback copy out for a day or two because my digital reader wasn't available at the time!  

I LOVE that OUTLANDER doesn't neatly fit into one genre category.  I don't believe in genres anymore anyway.  I get that publishers/libraries/book stores, etc. need to have genres in order to have places to put the books on the shelves and thus to find them quickly and easily, but yet it's ridiculous to attempt to put every single book into one simple category and expect that to be the end-all answer for what that books is really about.  For a practice book,

Gabaldon hit this one out of the park!!!  

If you haven't read the OUTLANDER series yet, what are you waiting for?!

And, yes, I LOVE the series as it's playing out on STARZ!  They're doing a fantabulous job with the books to tv series!  Jamie is even more gorgeous than anticipated!!!  ;)
