Welcome to Litsy!

Loved it. I now own the entire series and have read them through a couples times. Anxiously awaiting the next book.

Eh, this book was a tease. And kinda icky at times, but not in a hot way.

1. Outlander by Diana Gabaldon (reading) and Mortal Engines by Philip Reeve (listening)

2. "One of those Bonnie-Prince-in-the-heather sorts of things, no doubt."

3. All day black coffee and now an All Day IPA.

At the book club meetings in #NYC yesterday, #2030SomethingLongReadsBookClub members pow-wowed and gave suggestions for our June and August 2020 selections (since that club meets every other month) 😁😎. They chose Outlander and A Game of Thrones with outstanding enthusiasm 😊. They want to do both entire series 😂👏🏻. Looks like I‘ll finally be getting to two series that have been on my #TBR forever 😌. What do you think of both?

So this stood out to me: on page 831, Jamie told Claire that Randall “used me again-hard. And he kept on saying it: ‘Tell me that you love me, Alex. Say that you love me.‘” So did Randall rape his brother at some point too? Or have an incestuous love for him? Some people think it was Alex MacGregor since he hung himself, but I think it has to mean Alex Randall since Claire thinks back to the genealogical chart and remembers his brothers‘ name.

Simply put, this was great!

1.Outlander... It has a bit of everything and just makes me feel.... at home. 🥰
2. Bare feet🦶 unless I have cold feet. Then I need the fluffiest socks one can imagine🧦
3. Some mountain side. Either in Switzerland or Italy.
4. Sea food.🤢
5. Nah...Got issues with hollidays that got pushed way out of proportion in countries where it's not a long tradition.
Don't get me wrong: Love dressing up... But here? Just nope

Day 18 - #TheSkyeBoatSong #Outlander #SoaringScores

Listen here: https://youtu.be/k6uiUKhic-E

The sixth square in the Wrapped in Jamie Crochet Along came out yesterday. Called "L'Université", it is about Jamie's time being educated in France. The designer somehow made fleur-de-lis in overlay crochet! Here's my square.

Listening to this one has been a blast so far... perfect Autumn read. I love it ❤ Also, @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks I received your lovely card! It was such a lovely, unexpected joy. Thank you so much ❤❤❤

Square Five of the Wrapped in Jamie Crochet Along released today and I powered through and finished! This is the Manners and Chess square, named for Dougal teaching Jamie chess, Jamie kissing Tibby, and Dougal giving him a further lesson in manners.

First #spooktober puzzle of the season! Not a spooky listen, but a good one.

#audiopuzzle

And all four squares so far: Year of the Ox, Sawny, Goodbye Mama, and Guarding His Right. For the full story go to the Black Sheep Crochet webpage and look for the stories behind the Wrapped in Jamie CAL.

More Wrapped in Jamie CAL squares! The latest is called Guarding His Right, and it is about Jamie and Ian. For the full story go to the Black Sheep Crochet webpage.

Final time for #24b4monday — Spent a good chunk of this listening to Outlander ☺️

#RedRoseSeptember #Remedy

Claire is a healer, she knows a lot of remedies.

I‘m looking forward to re-reading this series. I have all of the audiobooks so a good chunk will be consumed while driving or crocheting. I want to be ready for the release of book 9, which will hopefully be next year. I‘m also going to read the novellas in between which I never bothered to do before.

#7days7covers #covercrush

My mom has wanted me to read this for a while. Thought I would give it a go.

I am so excited to read this one!! @TWisdom and I have been enjoying the show IMMENSELY :) It felt only fitting to give this one a go! Also, with it being fall and rainy here in the PNW, I could use some highland greenery ;)

Thanks for the tag @gradcat! 🥰

1. Scotland! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💙
2. Gloooooomy. And I had to spend the entire day out at camp for an all staff meeting. At least it was nearly 30 degrees cooler than yesterday, though.
3. Spoiler alert: I‘ve only ever dated my husband. 🤷🏼‍♀️
4. Just one crazy cat son, Cooper. 😻

Cross-stitch is one #Hobby of mine (I have several!) that can be very therapeutic. I did these bears for my mum‘s birthday a couple of years ago. All credit to the designer for producing such a wonderful image that I could use a needle, thread and chart to reproduce.

Guess who has just ordered two of these Moorland blanket yarn packs to start the imminent Wrapped in Jamie Crochet Along? Do these colours say Scotland to you?

I first read this book in 1991. I fell in love with James Alexander Malcolm MacKenzie Fraser and have been hooked on every book Herself (fan nickname for Diana Gabaldon) has written since then. In the down times when waiting for the next book, I re read the entire series.. Sometimes I read just the parts I love most.. Either way it's been an awesome world to be a part of and can't wait to see the next chapter.

it's one of my favorite books. I liked it so much that I find it difficult to describe it. Fantasy / historical novel set in the 1700s. It is impossible not to fall in love with Jamie and cheer for him until the end. a return to the past with adventures, suspense and romance. I love it so much.

Ye werena the first lass I kissed," he said softly. "But I swear you'll be the last.

#LitsyLove on beautiful 🌸 stationary with precious mini post it notes. I love the little package ~ reminds me of the wonderful years I spent in Japan filled w/ lovely people & exciting shopping experiences. Helen is preparing to read Outlander w/ a friend to prep their series watching plans! 💗

Finally getting around to reading the series! Always have one of my girls with me while reading 😍

O M G!!!
This book was amazing. The only thing I regret is not having read it sooner.

I‘m about 65% done. Yep, I‘m obsessed with Jamie.

I didn‘t like this one.
At first I struggled to get through the first chapter. I just didn‘t like the writing style and as a writer myself I knew I wasn‘t going to get through the book, let alone the series.

Then under the behest of a suuuuper big fan of the series I tried again. Got further in but eventually I nixed it.

Better late than never I suppose

Happy #bookloversday. Taken from @baes 1) What was your favourite book as a child? I can‘t recall which one but I loved the Babysitter‘s Club series
2) What is your current favourite book? The Five by Hallie Rubenhold
3) What are you reading today? Gone with the Wind, Churchill. Need to start Less fairly soon.

Happy #BookLoversDay!📚

This book infuriated me! It wasn‘t the story line or the setting or the characters that bothered me. I quite liked most of those. It was the terrible editing job that had me ranting & cursing & almost not completing the book. Why any editor anywhere would push a book through with such gratuitous & graphic descriptions of violence is beyond me. They could have cut 50 pages by not describing torture/rape in minute detail. #unpopularopinion

I was informed tonight that Aldi carries a wine called Outlander. Yes named for the series is what I was told.
If I drink it will Jamie show up wearing a kilt????

It‘s a good and entertaining read that sets up the next book perfectly. I can‘t say it was quality literature, but it was very adventure driven and I was eager to keep reading. I‘ll have to check out the show now!

Almost done with the first season of Outlander. I have read Outlander last summer, but wasn't able to watch it on Starz. Thankfully Netflix finally put it on their streaming list. I'm very impressed with how they are following the book for the show. I have noticed Starz does an excellent job at keeping it some what align.
#outlander

So it‘s on Netflix and I finally started to read this. I love the story and the actors they chose for Claire and Jaime are perfect! I have now joined the Outlander club👏😜

Je suis prest

That, was a long book. I would say, for the first 600 pages I was questioning why I was bothering, then it gets very intense towards the end and all the slow character building pays off and you're fully invested in what is going to happen and can't put it down until it's through!
Given it's weak start (IMO) and strong end, I'm going to give it a middling 3 stars. I don't plan to read the other books or watch the series.

Yay! Surprise mail is my favorite kind ?
I was so confused because I was expecting a package from Indigo today and when I opened this I thought "Well, that's not what I ordered". Then I saw the card ??

Thanks so much for the birthday gift @mcctrish
I adore the show and have been wanting to read this. I think I got through most the first book a long time ago but it was a library book and I didn't have enough time to finish

#poutinepenpals

It took me FOREVER to get through this book! It‘s a chunkster! I thought the time travel premise was interesting but expected more traveling between the two time periods. There was also a lot more sex and graphic violence than I anticipated. I doubt I will continue with this series. #notforme
