Book Review: Outlander by Diana Gabaldon
What better way to kick off my 2012 blogging than with a book review? My latest obsession comes in the form of a book series. Currently, there are seven books in Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander Series (with an eighth to be released in 2013). I had heard about her work before, but hadn’t pursued the books […]

I think a lot of my love for the book stems […]
