Many of the participants in the sixth Cannonball Read are big fans of Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander series. To celebrate the 96th birthday of its heroine, Claire Elizabeth Beauchamp Randall Fraser, we’ve gathered this year’s reviews of Gabaldon works. Be forewarned that spoilers may abound, so curl up in your shift to get our participants’ views on what Salon magazine calls:
“..the smartest historical sci-fi adventure-romance story ever written by a science Ph.D. with a background in scripting “Scrooge McDuck” comics.”
I’d as soon live in my shift
and say what I like.”

Poor Drums of Autumn. No love. That will change, though. I’m starting it this week!
Can’t wait!
Yay! Can’t wait to see what you think.
Oh good! I was starting to worry your brain really had been eaten.
This post is amazing in all things except to highlight how ridiculous my review title is!
Which, to be clear, is my own fault.
No it’s not! I love it.
I love Claire. Especially the TV Claire. Caitriona Balfe brings such life and humanity to her. So, happy belated birthday. Bottoms up!
