I will admit, I thought Voyager was a bit slow going, but sailed through the next three. I've gotten my ... 2, 7 - Dragonfly in Amber is a lot more straight-up historical fiction than Outlander, which I think is what threw me off when I read it. It's worth it, though...

It's time to start a reread. 16. Voyager by Diana Gabaldon

Finishing this book was almost like the end of an era for me. I've been reading it on and off for the better part of six months. I'm beginning Voyager, the next book in the series, right away, yet book 7 will probably be out by the time I finish book 6 ... Hm, never mind finishing Dragonfly in Amber before the month was out- I finished it before the day was out. It was nice to finally be able to cross a book out of the Historical fiction category off. I'll be starting Voyager, also by Diana Gabaldon, so I can see what happens next with Claire and ... ... one-two combo of Amsterdam and The Memory Keeper's Daughter).

I recommend these books for die hard Outlander fans that are looking for something to tide ... What: Drums of Autumn ( book 4 of the Outlander series) by Diana Gabaldon.
Why: Someone here on LT actually suggested I read the Outlander series because they noticed in my profile that I loved fantasy and the book is a time-travel based story. Whoa! The real fantasy isn't the time travel, ... I'm reading a few different books right now. Dragonfly in Amber is the second book in the Outlander series, which I'd started because I was looking for an epic kind of series. And the Outlander books are certainly that (I have to admit, I was initially drawn to the series because of the title of ...

I am finishing Dragonfly in Amber this week as well. I know exactly where you are coming from. I am in love with this series. I just discovered them this year thanks to someone from LT. I have stayed up way too late on too many nights reading this book simply because I couldn't stop myself. ... I finished Dragonfly in Amber this afternoon, and I counted... 54 new words. It's going to take me a while to get them all on my blog. Yikes. I should finish Dragonfly in Amber by Diana Gabaldon this afternoon or tomorrow - talk about compulsive reading!

After that it's The Journal of Curious Letters by James Dashner while I've got it from the library... and ... ... what's wrong with it, but it just seemed kind of trite and didn't ever capture my interest).
I'm currently absorbed in Dragonfly in Amber by Diana Gabaldon and the audiobook of The Meaning of Night: A Confession by Michael Cox. ...

I'm slowly getting further in Dragonfly in Amber (and I really am enjoying it, but I haven't had time to sit down and read it like I would like to). I've just about finished The Ghost Map, as well as ... ... on a trip today to the local mall. Yea!!!! Books A Million here I come!

I'm going away to the beach next weekend for a week as well, and ... ...
I am so happy that I stepped in here this evening. I just finished Outlander and I am breathless. I just hit ebay up for Dragonfly in Amber. I can't wait to get it and start on it. Outlander is by far my favorite book of all time. It's one of those books that you can put down...you know, the ... I can think of a few, some of the Outlander books by Diana Gabaldon have a parallel story in them like Dragonfly in Amber, Voyager and Drums of Autumn (but you really have to read Outlander first to understand the storyline - but it's a great read.
Also, The House on the Strand has a ... ... so forth with her the 2nd time she travels back to 18th c. Scotland - but in any case, you'd need to read Outlander and Dragonfly in Amber first to get to that point anyway. This series is my current passion - I'm obsessing until the 7th book comes out! >3, Dragonfly in Amber reminds me of Indian in the Cupboard where the WW I (or was it WWII?) British medic thinks he might get brought back to Omri's room and packs things in his pockets that he might need. Not a book that fits the criteria here, though.
>1, any special reason you are ... Another is Dragonfly in Amber by Diana Gabaldon. When Claire, a doctor, returns to Scotland for the second time in the late 1700's she takes with her antibiotics, immunization shots and some surgical instruments, and photographs.
That is such a wonderful story. Of course the first one ... Still chipping away at Dragonfly in Amber, which is taking me a small eternity to read (I've been working on it since November).

As referred to in my post # 21 I purchased Outlander and Dragonfly in Amber Now I can't wait to get started after reading all your posts.

Of all the books in the series I think that Dragonfly In Amber is the weakest. ... by Diana Gabaldon is one of my favorites, but I do not think any of the books quite measure up to the first, IMHO. Dragonfly in Amber probably comes closest. The Fiery Cross is the worst in the series, to my mind. Last week I read Dragonfly in Amber by Diana gabaldon and The Uncommon Reader by Alan Bennett.
I'm still into the Outlander series. Yesterday I read Voyager from start to finish.. went to bed at 4:30am! Today I have started the next one Drums of Autumn still eager to keep reading ... 55. Dragonfly in Amber by Diana Gabaldon #2 of the Outlander series. Re-read.
Overall this book is a great sequel to cross stitch. It has the dual advantages of moving the story along significantly yet at the same time picking up where the first left off and not leaving anything out.

32/100 Diana Gabaldon - the first three Outlander Dragonfly in Amber Voyager then they went off the boil
Mary Stewart - I read and re-read these when I was younger
My Family and other Animals by Gerald Durrell an all-time favourite - my dad used to read it to me then I read and re-read it - I ... #11 That was exactly what i was going to write! I think i have cried once during every one of the outlander books, but dragonfly in amber really got me! I was heartbroken and had to read the next book right away to find out what happend.
#13 GWTW also had be crying, although it's been so long ... Dragonfly in Amber by Diana Gabaldon broke my heart and it stayed broken for a while. I wasn't sure I would ever get over it. And it was either two or three years before the sequel came out! It was awesome. I loved hearing the accents. It was also very very long (28 cds). I'm going to start listening to Dragonfly in Amber in the next couple weeks. ...
How about love spear (ouch), staff, rod, turgid member, hardened desire? : )
I read a female anatomy euphemism in Dragonfly in Amber the other day...honey lips...doh!
This topic could use it's own thread "Stop Euphemisms!". I finished Dragonfly in Amber and am now about 1/4 through Voyager. I love this saga. It's just unputdownable! I'm going to be working more than usual and will be spending less time reading but I hope to get to finish Dragonfly in Amber and start reading Voyager.

Jessa I was listening to The History of Love by Nicole Krauss (which I was enjoying) but set it aside to finish listening to Dragonfly in Amber (Outlander series) I recently finished Last Days in Dogtown by Anita Diamant narrated by Kate Nelligen and enjoyed it very much. Finished Dragonfly in Amber by Diana Gabaldon which is a genre I never thought I'd read but I was hooked the minute I started because it is based in an area of Scotland that we visited in 2001. Culloden Moors, Beauly, Inverness, Loch Ness and finally they end up for a part of the book in Beauf ... ... spoil it for others but it wasn't what I expected. Still waiting to see if once it sinks in, I liked it or not. Starting on Dragonfly in Amber the second in the Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon a type of book/series I said I would never read. Ho hum, never say never.
... outlander book called The Piano Tuner and the ending left me feeling sad and confused - it was unexpected but I'm hoping Dragonfly in Amber will be a bit more readable and predictable. At least with some sort of reasonable storyline. I hope!! ... catalogs on their websites. I found all of my used copies in hardback at Powells, but had to wait quite a while to find Dragonfly in Amber in a used hardbound.
