All About Books: Teaser Tuesday - Outlander

Offering a tease of "Outlander" by Diana Gabaldon.

Several years ago, a friend recommended Diana Gabaldon's "Outlander" to me. It's a massive tome of a novel, topping 600 pages. Oh, and it's book one of at least seven, all about the same length. (Book #8 is in the works.) I read it and really, really enjoyed it. So I kept reading the series and very quickly got burnt out. I stopped after the second or third book, I don't recall which. But, as you'll see from this week's Teaser, I'm starting all over again - and falling in love with the book all over again. This time, however, I have a better plan. I'm going to pace myself and read at least one or two books in between each novel in the Outlander series. That should work much better . . . at least I hope so!

• Grab your current read
• Open to a random page
• Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
• Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

I have to admit to giving up on "The Postmistress." It was over 70 pages in and the book just wasn't grabbing or holding my attending. And, with seven 600-plus page books on the horizon, this blogger has plenty to read!
