Lord John *eyebrow waggle*

June 1 is World Outlander Day.

Below are pics gathered from who-knows-where, images taken from the Starz TV show "Outlander".

I've only listened to the audiobooks, (have only seen a few episodes of the TV show by borrowing the DVD's from the library) and many may not know that there is a secondary series that feature Lord John Grey.

A man in uniform...well, I just cannot resist!

Lord John appears throughout the Outlander books, but he's a major part in:

-Lord John and the Private Matter (2003)

-Lord John and the Brotherhood of the Blade (2007)

-Lord John and the Hand of Devils (2007)

-The Scottish Prisoner (2011)

-Steven Stones to Stand or Fall (2017)

Narrated by Jeff Woodman

 A compelling character, played by Australian actor David Berry, Lord John is a military man, with many secrets and a penchant for getting involved with Jamie and Claire Fraser.

Am waiting with very little patience for Book 10 in the Outlander series; the author Diana Gabaldon has a title "A Blessing For A Warrior Going Out" but there is yet no publication date.

NO, dear friend E.T., I will NOT get a tattoo of Lord John, but I would buy a pair of pajamas with his likeness on them.

Lord John was my laptop wallpaper for a long while, until The Hubby grumbled a bit about it.

Wee Cheetie

Diana Gabaldon's book "Outlander" was first published on 1 June, 1991.

A world-wide phenomenon since then, the Outlander book series, TV series, and the resulting sales of t-shirts, tartans, fan tours of Scotland and North Carolina, are a big deal.

1 June is World Outlander Day.

For some of us, it's all about the wee cheetie, Adso.

Adso with his mom, Claire Fraser, played by Caitriona Balfe.

Adso with his dad, Jamie Fraser, played by Sam Heughan.

Okay, okay...so, there are handsome lads in uniforms, tricorns, and kilts too!

😹😹😹

Adso is found alone in the North Carolina woods by Jamie, who gifts the kitten to his wife, in Book 5 of the series, "The Fiery Cross".

Adso appears in every book after that, and he's quite the character, as befitting any feline with time-traveling humans as companions.

Am thankful to my bff JB, who introduce this author and series to me; let's blame it all on her, shall we?

#NationalAuthor’sDay

 November 1 is National Authors Day!

I primarily listen to audiobooks downloaded to my phone, and with speed set at 1.3x (I also am a speed-reader, something I was taught while a youngster in school), I listen while doing many other things all day long.

Some of my favorite authors, in no particular order, with links:

Laurie R. King

Robert Galbraith

C. S. Harris

Elly Griffiths

Diana Gabaldon

Nick Louth

Jim Butcher

Anthony Horowitz

Deanna Raybourn

Kelley Armstrong

Sabrina Flynn

My current 'want to read' list has 569 books, which does NOT include all the books in an author's series; just the first.

I am a member of several book groups on Facebook, and a question I ask people is, "What are you reading?"

I use Goodreads to keep track of everything, and have access to a handful of libraries AND a Audible account to feed my reading habit.

I am a reading addict; there, I've typed it!

Authors are amazing people; they create new worlds, characters, and emotions in their heads, then are able to publish these stories for the public's enjoyment.  

The above images were found on social media, and included purely for the enjoyment of our readers.

So, what are you reading?
