[quote=""Tanzanite""]Legacy by Susan Kay and so far it's wonderful![/quote]
I loved that one when I read it Tanzanite. It was longer ago than I care to count up, but I've read it twice and I think it's still about among my older keepers in the loft. I know you'll enjoy the whole book.

I'm having a small break from HF and reading Sean Connery's delightful "Being a Scot'" - reflections on his life and what it means to be Scottish.

Outlander is definitely one of THOSE books Emi! Welcome to the boards.
I am starting The Leopard Unleashed by EC tonight - if I can keep my eyes open that is.

[quote=""emr""]Hi
I was reading Lady of Hay but yesterday i received Outlander in the mail. I decided to read a couple pages.... Around page 120 i realize this is one of those books you cant put down. And if you do, you can see it through the walls sitting there, calling you....

Welcome to the forum. The Outlander books literally took over my life once I started the first one. I don't know how the people survived who read them when first published and had to wait YEARS until the next one...
