I can’t get enough of Jamie & Claire.

And the hundreds of other characters Diana Gabaldon has introduced in the first 3 books in her Outlander series.

03/04/2010 • I just started reading this after coming off of the Sookie Stackhouse novels (a.k.a. True Blood on HBO) by Charlaine Harris. It's always a good sign when you smile and even laugh on page 4 of a book. Diana ... read more
