I've been reluctant to read the rest of the series, and I'm not really sure why. I think I need to get past it, I keep hearing good things about the whole series!<br /><br />I also really would like a solution for listening to books in the shower-- my husband didn't think I was serious when I talked about setting up speakers in the bathroom.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-91168495519504138752009-06-05T10:11:21.583-04:002009-06-05T10:11:21.583-04:00I only read the intro to your review because I hav...I only read the intro to your review because I haven't read any of these books (shocking, I know!) but plan to one of these days.

I thought I was doing pretty well with 13 for the current one. It's hard to keep everything straight, though. Anyway, I have "tagged" you on my blog, if you do such things, have time, wish to , etc. It's only fun & I thought your answers would be interesting, but if you're going to Poland...dshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07616750784052488695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-29859090689782733582009-06-02T20:00:58.720-04:002009-06-02T20:00:58.720-04:00Nymeth - it's great to see you here in my world! ...Nymeth - it's great to see you here in my world! This is such a great series, but I doubt that anything I say four books in will do damage to your reading experience. So much happens to these people, you won't be able to keep track. (Thanks about the header...that is my kitty, Casper. He is one of four that are our pets, but he's all mine.)<br /><br />Matt - yes, this is one series that you really must start at the beginning. It is epic, and I need to clarify that I am not big on historical fiction or romance, but I am all over these books. They are an incredible journey. <br /><br />We leave for Poland on June 16th. With no internet access. I'm still in denial.<br /><br />Frances - I will continue to work on you! If you decide to take the plunge, let me know and I'll give you the best audios I've listened to to start out.

It makes cleaning the house so much more fun!<br /><br />Beth - yeah, I have some time to get through the next two. I don't want to finish them too early! I am wondering if the audio of the new one will come out at the same time as the book?????<br /><br />Susan - No, little kids and Outlander do not mix!

I'm surprised I have any eyes left! <I>Drums of Autumn</I> was probably my least favorite of the four original books. I must admit that I would probably have gotten a LOT more done around my house if I had listened to them, but I don't know if they were published in that format then. I read them from about 2003 to 2004. <br /><br />I also have to admit that I've never finished reading <I>The Fiery Cross</I> which I got for Christmas the year it came out. Read about ten chapters and just lost interest, which is weird, considering I was such an avid fan. I mean, I never even took a little break between any of the other four. Maybe it was overload. It's still sitting in my bookcase. I might give it another go once I get through the southern challenge. If I ever do. I'm babysitting full time for 3 of my grandkids this summer. Not so much time for reading.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14201860227400017841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-1017717892015797382009-06-02T07:13:59.333-04:002009-06-02T07:13:59.333-04:00This one was my least favorite of the entire serie...This one was my least favorite of the entire series.
