I want to read the Outlander series... Gosh, the fact that it is eight hundred and something pages makes the booked crazed lunatic come out of me. lol. What would you rate it? Is it worth the read?

OMG, Jeanine, you'll need to block some time to read this EPIC. I was hugging the 800+ pages longingly. I know it's a great book when I held it and worried it's almost over...
Denise wrote: "Finally started the journey. Wish me well."For the most part I really liked that book...there was just one thing that happened I didn't like but it was no big deal to most people on here. I'm hoping to read the 2nd one soon.
I just finished reading
...and writing up everything on my online book club I'm hosting. I ended up really liking it. I love Clay!!Now...I'm getting ready to read
Sammie =^.^= wrote: "what genre is this book?"Sammie, I would say HR with a hint of paranormal bc Claire went time traveled 200 yrs back. There's just so much about the book, every word is accountable and a piece of this amazing puzzle to be solved, to be explored and at the same time, to be disected.

Wow! Really? Alright... I'm totally trusting you :)

Wonder if you and I are bothered by the same incident? hmmmmm. Hope you'll have time to continue, at least the first 3 books.

Tairen Soul and Outlander series are two of the series I would buy bc I know I'd read them over and over again.

Robin, definitely NOT Scfi romance, more like heart-wrenching and timeless romance surrounded with unspeakable events that just tear you to pieces.

"I do both, mostly I go to the library and only buy what I will read again. Sometimes I buy before I read if the book has good reviews. I bought these all at half price book stores, I only bought one new and it was discounted anyway. I always buy paperback too and not hardcover so that is cheaper. Also the used book store I go to has many locations and has a lot of clearance books for only $1. Plus if I buy new I go to Amazon and have gotten really amazing deals there as well. I really don't buy books very often, but I agree it's nice to own copies of the good ones to read them over and over again.

I go to the Half Priced Bookstores in the Minneapolis area.

and it was really good. I was a litte confused at the end regarding the Wyvern. Also Deborah Cooke gives an excerpt from her YA book about the children of the Pyr the main character being Zoe and her journey. It sounds interesting even though I'm not a huge fan of YA.Now I have to think about what I should read next. I don't know if I want to PNR or go for some historical romance.
@robin & crazy4more- thanks ladies I have this in my tbr on here but I've wondered what genre this series was, I'm not big on historical romance but I'm gonna give it a try one day, since its got some serious mad amounts of good reviews.

Jeanine wrote: "Jennifer wrote: "just finished and started I have to see what the craze is all about"Hey, Jennifer. I have been wanting to start..."
I personally think is good, the paradox thing messes with your head a bit and I feel people who have the dark hunter series which is not YA will get more out of it because of the references in the book. Nick's always been one of my fave dark hunter characters so I am enjoying this series.

Oh! So this series is a spin-off from another series?
Jeanine wrote: "Jennifer wrote: "Jeanine wrote: "Jennifer wrote: "just finished and started I have to see what the craze is all about"Hey, Jenni..."
yes, it starts with
but to me the series really starts with the 2nd book
Cool, I am going to put these on TBR list :)
yay, its one of my favorite series so of course I recomend them =o)
Jennifer wrote: "Jeanine wrote: "Jennifer wrote: "Jeanine wrote: "Jennifer wrote: "just finished and started I have to see what the craze is all ab..."Wow! Sorry to butt in but I'm so excited! I didn't even know about the spin off. I've read up to book 5 or so in DH...I'll have to put the Chronicles on my TBR as well. Thanks!!
@Heidi, I love Clay. He just gets better and better in the series. My fave of the series is
. I skipped around in this series. I think four of the books are about Clay/Elana and I read these ones first.
Finished
. It was really good. Predictable but still really good.

I know you didn't ask me, but I did read Room. I gave it 3 stars, I liked the story just found it irritating that the complete book was written from the 4 yr old's perspective/language.
Jennifer wrote: "Filipa wrote: "I'm reading by Emma Donoghue"I have to ask because I only heard about this one the other day, are you liking it?"
Hi Jennifer. I haven't read much but I'll be happy to get back at you when I've done so..
(I only read like 20 pages yet... )
i was curious because I heard about someone who had a hard time purchasing this book when it came out because it would sell out.
Jennifer wrote: "i was curious because I heard about someone who had a hard time purchasing this book when it came out because it would sell out."Well, it is different from everything I've ever read - of that I'm sure. I'm so very curious to read the rest of the book.
I heard many good things about this book. I didn't had any problems in the purchase of the book, though...
Crazy4more wrote: "Wonder if you and I are bothered by the same incident? hmmmmm. Hope you'll have time to continue, at least the first 3 books. "
Probably...it just made me look at Jamie totally different. But I have the 2nd book from the library out in my car, just waiting for me to start...I hope to get to it next week sometime.
It been awhile since I read that first Stephanie Plum book and man I forgot how much I love Joe Morelli...I know the series isn't paranormal but it cracks me up.

I've seen mixed reviews on it and 800 pages, well wow, thats a lot of pages. I did sign up to win the first one on First Reads but I didn't get it. Is that series complete?

I didn't know they sent out coupons but I will now have to visit the cities so I can check out their half priced bookstores. It's a sickness =) I guess I should start checking out Illinois too, hehe.
I'm currently reading
. It's better than I expected and I like it more than Cade's book. Sabine & Rydstrom seem a better fit as a couple.

For me, I'm reading
