I first read Outlander back in my freshman year in college. I used to own the series in 1st edition hardback. Then life happened. I lost a lot of things, including that series, over the years. Including those five books. Heck my Herman Wouk books are among the missing and I loved Winds of War! Anyway I picked up a battered paperback of Outlander ( Read more... )

JUNE:
( Movies )

Lists ... yep. More of them. To be truthful this one got away with me. I'm a bibliofile. I adore books and reading.
