Book Beginnings

August 1, 2013 by pictureperfectcooking

Welcome back!  Join me over at Rose City Reader for Book Beginnings and you just might find a new book to add to your “to-be-read” pile.  Today I am sharing the first lines from the second book in the Outlander Series by Diana Gabaldon called “Dragonfly In Amber”:

“Roger Wakefield stood in the center of the room, feeling surrounded.”

Hmmm, was Roger really surrounded and, if so, by what or who?  The Outlander series is one of my absolute favorites and I am actually re-reading it now before the newest book comes out at the end of the year.  Ms. Gabaldon weaves a story like no other that I have ever read and “Dragonfly In Amber” is full of historical facts that bear looking up for more information.  So much was happening in Scotland around the time that is portrayed in this book and it is so sad that so much destruction had to happen to such a beautiful place.

These are long and detailed books, but they are worth the effort it takes!

    I love this series!!! I’ve only read the first three books though. I really want to continue reading the rest of the series and re-read the first book before the series premiers on Starz next year.

      Oh, you need to read the rest of them and a new one is coming out sometime this winter. I am re-reading them now before the new one. I hope the tv show does the story justice. I kind of have my doubts.

    Sometimes a room can feel very claustrophobic because the walls seem to close in! I’ve never read an Outlander book, but I’ve heard it’s good! Thanks for sharing, I hope you enjoy it!

      It is a great series! The characters and story lines are some of the best I have ever read. That strawberry pie was pretty tasty and really easy to fix, too. Have a great weekend!
