Let's Talk Time Travel

[Lynda Kamrath]

Finished the sixth book by Diana Galbaldon and have to admit that I don't know what I am going to do at 3:00 in the morning now.  I have a habit of only sleeping about 5-6 hours and when I wake up I know I will not be going back to sleep so I get up and read for a couple of hours, then go back to bed and get a couple hours more of sleep.  Diana's books have been my night-time companions all year.

Thanks, Carla, for the suggestion of another author - Deborah Harkness.  When I take the last Galbaldon book back to the library, I will get the books by Harkness.  I love time travel and historical fiction, so these sound perfect to me.  BTW, I read my first Galbaldon book on my iPad, but then started getting them at the library.  When the first one was 100 chapters and I saw it was 700 pages, I just found library books worked better for me.  I still get lost sometimes on my iPad and was spending way too much time looking for my place in the book.  Shorter books work much better for me.

Anybody else Diana Galbaldon fans?  I thought we should have a new discussion because the What are you reading now? discussion was getting pretty long.

Lynda...Starz is a premium TV channel. Outlander debuts sometime this year. I believe in the spring? Here is a link to explain what's happening....http://www.starz.com/originals/outlander

The director is Ronald Moore who did the Battlestar Galactica series. I'm super excited:)

Don't have it, but definitely will get to see Outlander somehow.

I am starting to reread Diana Gabaldon because it is so much and I can't remember all the specifics.  I love her books.  I saw the stars for the movie and what a great job of casting.  Now I see them when I am reading the books.

I would love to re-read the books but that's a LOT of work...lol!!!

I'm reading a 5 book series by Anna Belfrage, The Graham Saga. I'm on Book 4 and am enjoying it. It's time travel, sort of. Set in the mid 1600's and 2005. Not as much depth as Diana Gabaldon, but enjoyable. You grow to love the characters. Setting is Scotland, then moves to Maryland during the early settlers. I would consider this a good summer read.

It's on my list for summer.
