Welcome to Litsy!

Since i borrowed it from libby, it took me a minute to finally finish it. Parts of paris were boring. But i enjoyed it a lot.

Will i finish this before libby returns it? Maybe? We will see. Lol

Working my way through the series again, a chapter a day. Book 2 down.... how many more chapters to go?? � #42-2023

Really hard to follow on audible. Great read with a physical book but you miss a lot on audible.

Next audible

And since Dragonfly in Amber well and truly fills the #BustleMuscle prompt, I think (ok technically it's pre-bustle, but Jamie's the muscle) - that's also a wrap on the #fourfoursin23 #readingchallenge for me for the year!

How are you all progressing?

This #fantasychunkster read surprisingly quickly, I thought! Maybe it's because I've seen the TV series now? I am less daunted about tackling the future books in the series as a result.

Definitely thoroughly enjoyable, despite the violence.
And now I'm down to only three unfilled prompts in the #NoShameReadathon23

And that's a wrap for July! #WickedWords @AsYouWish

We join Claire in the difficult task of convincing her daughter of the truth of her parentage. With a side order of trying to save a life, only to realise it isn't her place to play god. Bonnie Prince, indeed! In her attempt to share the truth with Brianna, Claire recounts the uprising of 1745. Of course seeing is believing... This book is very long. I strongly urge reading these books in hardback. it will go by faster due to the larger page size.

I got through the first one, so I can get through this, right?

Right?

Visited Glasgow Cathedral and it was gorgeous!
I believe parts of season 2 of Outlander were filmed here.

Flying through this series mostly thanks to the audiobook.

Good

I love this book so much!!! It is the second book in the Outlander series. I just love Jamie and Claire so much!!! I read this for the #ISpyBingo challenge of Celebrity because my cover has the actors of the series and this is the second book completed for #joyousjanuaryreadathon challenge!!! I rated this book a 5 out of 5 stars!!!

All of these terms are mentioned in this book or are themes in it. #wickedwords Now all I have to do is actually finish reading it.

I didn't enjoy this one as much as the first. Honestly I was bored with the first half (the Paris section, and all the Bonnie Prince Charlie stuff). But the second half was SO GOOD. And the ending.... 😭😭💔

This book has a lot of good quotes in it, but I really felt this one. 💔

I love Book Scents #candles. These are based on the Outlander series. Brianna is my absolute favorite smelling candle. I light them every now and then. Usually when there's a power outage. 😄

I am finally getting back into Outlander book 2 after being distracted by way too many other books. 😆 I'm at 38%. (I took this picture while on a walk at the park today. I wasn't reading anything while there, but what a lovely spot for it!!)

I've been so looking forward to starting this one, three pages in and I'm like 🤯

I can see why this series is so popular! I loved this 2nd installment as much as the 1st! I think what I love most is that, while there is obviously a good amount of romance, I don‘t feel like it overpowers the history, drama, and character building of the larger cast. I also liked how much deeper the intrigue and scheming continued to build. And it left on somewhat of a cliffhanger, making it hard not to dive right into the next book! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Out of curiosity as to what monumental task I had gotten myself into by starting to read Outlander, I went count the combined page number of all nine books (per Goodreads)...8,565 😳🤯

My visitor yesterday while reading the 7th book.

I found Book 2 in this series to be a lot more enjoyable than the first book. There's more historical fiction in this one and less insta-romance and cringe worthy "I am man, you are woman" moments. ?

I'm actually finding myself excited now for the next book.

Finished the tagged book to wrap up March last night. The shaded squares and the squares with book covers are the ones I completed. Pretty happy with getting both #bookspin, #doublespin and one bingo!

Looking forward to April, and will be posting my list and board momentarily!

Book #2 in the outlander series. I‘m re-reading my way through the lot. This book has sooo much in it. It stays with Claire & her 20 yr old daughter and tells the story of how Claire made it back through the stones.

After a long hiatus in pattern releases, I've done a couple more Wrapped in Jamie blanket squares. Here's the Dragonfly one. #litsycrafters

My only plans for today. 🥰

🥲🇫🇷ðŸ�´ó �§ó �¢ó �³ó �£ó �´ó �¿ This book. Set in both times it balances the historical with the personal and the powerful. Character growth, progression, and depth. It‘s helping my reading pace so far for this year, and so an update: my office book shelves are up, my stuffed animal collection has a new home, and my loyal Chatty #catsofLitsy still lays with me while I read. Also #blessed to work from home. #recentlyread #outlander #romance #timetravel 😻

Finally finished reading the second book in the Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon. With the help of listening to the audio book during my commutes to and from work anyway! The books are quite long so having them read to me helps a lot or I wouldn't be able to get through them on my own. �

Prompt: Thrift Store Find

Found this hard cover copy in 2019. Have not been thrifting since Covid. I miss the thrill of finding books to read.🧡📚

I'm two-thirds of the way through DiA. I have already read the series, and I'm noticing that I prefer the setting of Lallybroch. I never felt like the ridge was their place, as if it had a tinge of danger/haunting. There was something about it that didn't sit right. I don't think they were any safer at Lallybroch so I'm not sure why I like it. Did you have a favorite setting in the series? Oh, and the ridge was way nicer on TV than I pictured.

Re reading book two and preparing for a hot day. Starting with iced coffee from a local coffee shop, after dropping the dog off at the beauty parlour. Lunch will be a French fry feast at the Big Tom's. Later we'll stay inside and read. Currently savoring some porch time before the heat and the air quality drives me indoors.

#bookhaul from earlier in the week after a trip at my brother‘s request to Barnes and Noble, which is always dangerous. 😅

Dragonfly in Amber was my favorite book in the Outlander series when I first read them. I‘m remembering why that as I read through again for the #OutlanderReadAlong — the styles (and scandals) of French court, the dinner parties, the seedy streets of 18th century Paris, the magic and superstitions…it still reigns supreme and I don‘t think other installments will dethrone it. I‘m enjoying it so much I‘ve forgotten my other reads. 😅

This one ripped my heart out several times. Claire and Jamie's emotions are so rough on the page. Jamie with his steadfast presence and Claire with her constant flow of intense emotions that drive her decisions. Their love is earth-shattering which leads each of them do move heaven and earth to save the other. At times they feel star-crossed.

So happy my book club is taking this journey through the books.

July Book 6/25 #LitsyLove #Bookspin

Nothing like sitting under your umbrella outside listening to the rain while reading! Elsa isn‘t stopping my peaceful morning routine!

Continuing the #OutlanderReadalong ! I‘m remembering why I fell in love with this series in the first place and I‘m able to take my time with it this go-around. I first read Outlander in between semesters in college and didn‘t want to waste any time so I feel like I buzzed through it! Taking my time is letting me pick up things I never noticed and reading them in succession helps me not forget anything! ☺ï¸�

And I absolutely love the dragonfly jewelry to go with this book.

Thank you SO MUCH @Gissy â�¤ï¸� I love it all so much, and hope your swap comes soon. 🤞ðŸ�»

Yes please!
Clair‘s story continues.
The spice is strong in this one 🥵

Taking an outdoor break. I deep cleaned my bathroom yesterday and got a really good dent in my craft room today. Now hammock, dogs, and book.

My hold is in!
Time to continue the Outlander series 😀
