I love to read. I mean, I LOVE to read. I especially love long books and I really love them if they are part of a series. I just adore living with the characters for awhile. They begin to feel familiar and you start to know them like family. The best books are the ones that you finish and are immediately engulfed in a sense of sadness because it’s done. There’s nothing like it.

I am currently working my way through a series that I have read five other times. I love it that much. Some of you know it but if you don’t, I can’t recommend it enough. It’s called the Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon. It is a love story, an historical romance, time travel, war, botany… it has it all. But the main thing is the love of the two main characters, Claire and Jamie. Jamie is a Scottish Highlander and…. seriously anything I say at this point makes it sound like something it’s not. I’ve tried to explain this series to people and always fall short. You just have to read it for yourselves. I love it so much, I even suggested Jamie as a name for our son, but my husband didn’t go along with that. I’m hoping hoping hoping that there is another book and I believe there is one coming soon. I just can’t wait! The people I have recommended this series to love it and I have other friends that have read it and are equally enamored.

If you’re looking for a good book, please start reading this series. The first book is called Outlander. Amazon has it for a great price and if you buy more of the series, you can probably get free shipping. Let me know if you like it!
