Something About a One Trick Pony

I bought it; did you?

I’ll be creative once I finish the 7th book in the Outlander Series. Has anyone else spent the summer reading each of the 870+ books in the series?  Yes, that’s roughly 5300 pages of 18th century historical fiction in three months for those of you at home who are keeping track.  My constitutional law professor would be so proud.

    Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat? There’s another book?! Man, am I out of the literary loop. I breezed through the first four but got bogged down in the Fiery Cross. I guess I need to get back into it!

    I must have discovered the series not long after you. I just started book five. Loving the whole series!

    I don’t have it yet. :(
    Are you shocked? I am.
    I’ve stopped at 2 stores and no one has it.
    So until I get to the ‘city’ I am alas without Echo.
    *sniff*
    Aren’t you totally glad I convinced you to keep going though LOL.

    HA! When I first read that I thought there were over 870 books in the series. Now that would be somethin’. But I digress …

    I haven’t read the Outlander series. I will need something in a few days. I’m thinking something fun and modern to follow Les Miserable…

    Well, I don’t know if fun and modern is the Outlander series (depends on your view of the Jacobite rising in 18th century Scotland O_O ) but Les Mis is one of my favorites! There was a French film adapted from the book that I LOVED.

  6. Anna says:

    I haven’t read any of the books, but I keep being told how fabulous and un-missable they are, from all different angles! I better get on the train.

  7. Amy says:

    Maybe the Outlander series will go after, say, Janet Evanovich. :) I have to say, Les Mis has become a favorite of mine as well. I keep finding myself re-reading sections … probably not the best with nearly 1500 pages. So yes, it deserves a place of honor … right up there with The Count of Monte Cristo. Sigh. And good to know about the movie. I’ll have to check it out!

    I spent part of this spring rereading the first 6 books in the series, and was so excited to get this one! Devoured it in about 2 days. It’s funny to think I was only 6 years old when Outlander was first published, and I’ve been following the series for the last decade… They’re some of my absolute favourite books.

Hi! I’m Jules.

I used to be an attorney, but it made me grumpy. Now I write about life, sweet and savory, as a wife and mother to two small boys. My knowledge of dinosaurs knows no bounds.

You can read more, including the meaning behind the name Pancakes and French Fries here. And, yes, I really am phenomenally indecisive.
