Gabaldon, Diana: (101) Outlander: I'm re-reading Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series in preparation for the release of the fifth, The Fiery Cross. These are, I think, some of the rare books that don't fit in any category. They're big fat historical time-travel fantasy adventure...
Gabaldon, Diana: (102) Dragonfly in Amber: Finally finished re-reading Dragonfly in Amber, the second of Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series. I was correct in remembering that there's some reasonably bleak stuff in this one, but I'd forgotten the framing device. So. At the end of Outlander,...
Gabaldon, Diana: (103) Voyager: Completed the re-read of the third of Gabaldon's Outlander series, Voyager. This catches us up on what Jamie and Claire did after they separated, Jamie intending to die on the field of Culloden and Claire going back to the...
Gabaldon, Diana: (104) Drums of Autumn: Drat. Finished re-reading Drums of Autumn almost a whole week before the next Diana Gabaldon book is going to arrive. Let's see, ships on Tuesday, at least a couple of days in transit, but even if it got here...
Gabaldon, Diana: (104.5) Outlandish Companion, The: I've also been reading in piecemeal fashion The Outlandish Companion, by Diana Gabaldon. As the title suggests, this is a companion to her Outlander series, published (oddly) before the series was over. I didn't buy it when it first came...
Gabaldon, Diana: (105) The Fiery Cross: Read The Fiery Cross last night; yes, all of it; no, I don't remember what time I went to sleep. I suppose I should explain about my reading habits. For me, What Happens Next can be a worse addiction...
Gabaldon, Diana: (105) The Fiery Cross (mid-way through re-read): Well, I'm not going to finish my re-read of The Fiery Cross before I have to take a train tomorrow (or later today, now), which is a pity because I'm not taking it with me and I'll have lost...
Gabaldon, Diana: (105) The Fiery Cross (re-read): Completed the re-read of The Fiery Cross that was interrupted by Thanksgiving break. This book's structure clearly places it as the second-to-last book in the series, as do the themes it emphasizes. Past books had structures that reflected their...
Gabaldon, Diana: (106) A Breath of Snow and Ashes: A Breath of Snow and Ashes is the sixth of Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series, and not, I emphasize, the last. (Gabaldon had previously planned only six books, and I have seen some consternation on message boards about whether the series...
Gabaldon, Diana: (201) Lord John and the Private Matter: Lord John and the Private Matter is the latest novel by Diana Gabaldon, and set in the same world as her Outlander series. Lord John Grey is a secondary character in that series, and one of my favorites, so...
Gabaldon, Diana: (201.5) "Lord John and the Succubus": It's a bit odd to log an anthology when I've only read two stories out of it, but as I bought it for those two stories and have no interest in reading the rest, I might as well. The...
Gabaldon, Diana: (202-202.5) Lord John and the Brotherhood of the Blade; "Lord John and the Haunted Soldier": Quite a while ago, I read the first of Diana Gabaldon's novels about Lord John Grey, Lord John and the Private Matter, and was sufficiently unimpressed that it took me quite a while to get around to reading the second,...
Talley, Marcia (ed.): Naked Came the Phoenix: I borrowed Naked Came the Phoenix, edited by Marcia Talley, mostly on a whim. It's a serial novel, à la The Floating Admiral, by a group of female mystery writers; a portion of the proceeds go to breast cancer...
