It's hard to plan a reread schedule without having a release date. But maybe if we started in January then we could do a Outlander reread in January, a reread of DIA in March, etc. Go every other month. (THat way we're not going back to back and we have time to fit in other books?)
I think a group read isn't a bad idea. I can check out literature-map.com and see how that works. Would anyone else be interested in a Group Read?



7 books, one every other month is spaced over 14 months. So that should work.






You know me. I'm the queen of unfinished series. Maybe I'll make finishing up multiple series part of my New Year's resolution.




Nothing specific really. The group read sounds really cool. I am excited for that!


the * means that it has been tagged as important and will stay at the top of the discussion threads

The original Mods have become inactive on Goodreads. Becasuse of that Goodreads has granted Leea and I moderator status to update and clean up the group.
We wanted it to be easier to find a thread for the topics or questions we had, and a way to help control spoiler comments. I know there were alot of members who stopped comming to chat because the group was so chaotic they had no idea where to go to avoid spoilers.
We have created different areas of conversation with character threads, book threads, group reads (where we will do Outlander rereads and group reads of new books) and one for non-Outlander book conversations. ANd if you still have a question that doesn't fit in any of those threads we have the misc folder.
This should make it easier to navigate.

I am really enjoying this group and you guys really know your Outlander stuff! Haha...I've only read the books once through but probably will do a reread soon. And there was one besides Echo that I was bad and skipped around so it will be good to go back and see what I missed.

Just out of curiosity, was Fiery Cross the other one you skipped around with? It was the only one that I struggled through (only the first half).
Were you planning on joining us while we reread in January?

lol!
they could be simple - like read the characters names, so like Jamie - and read a book who's title starts with, or authors name starts with each letter - and do that for all the main characters

Quarterly challenges may not be a bad idea. We'll talk about it and throw some idea's around.

Would any of you want to take part in a group challenge?

Wendy, I couldn't remember which one off the top of my head but felt like it was either Drums or FC. I just looked at my ratings for each one and I think it was FC since I gave it 4 stars and Drums 5 stars. For Echo, I skipped some of the William and Lord John parts bc I was so anxious to find out what was happening with Jamie and Claire.
Yes, I would love to join you guys. That's perfect timing bc I have tons on my TBR shelf I need to try to weed through until then.
The book challenge sounds fun and I am interested in reading the books chosen that I can borrow from my library or booksfree.com.

I was out of town lately and therefore did not visit this site for about 2 weeks. When I revisited, I was quite stunned by the shear quantity a newly added threads. I simply was afraid of loosing my only connection to other "Outlandish" people; it does not seem to be so, though. I'll take my time and read what has come up lately.
Thanks for your efforts, anyway!

I've been a member of this group for a long time and it's got through some changes. All I can say is that Wendy and I love these books and we love chatting about them.

I would be interested in starting a reread in January. I was planning to start rereading the entire series sometime next year anyway (to refresh my memory before book 8 comes out and pickup all the little things I missed the first time thru).
I like the idea of doing it slowly so I will have time to work in monthly book club reads and TBR books.

I've read 3 Lord John books. Have to say that it's hard to believe they're by the same author.

So would I! How does this work, please?

Right now I'm not quite sure of the format I'm going to use, but either way it'll definitely start on January 1st.

Right now I'm not quite sure of the format I'm going to use, but e..."
OK, thank you. I'll be away from my PC during the Holidays, being back on Jan. 6th. Please put me into this group or where can I join it?

I would be interested in a group reread. I wish I new when the new book out.
