Presenting an Author - Diana Gabaldon

[Alessandra Grace]

Hello everyone Today I'd like to introduce you to one of my favorite authors at all, Diana Gabaldon
I started reading her novels 10 years ago, now, and recently I felt an urge to continue her saga, that I left because it's long and RL may be oppressive :/

Name of the author: Diana Gabaldon
Main genre: History, Romance, Adventure
Main audience: Women

Main books: The Claire Randall saga, of which the first book, Outlander, has recently been used as base for a TV show.

Good points / bad points
I like the way she writes, she is extremely good in describing, and her style is fluid, you can read it easily. On the counterpart, maybe her books are a little too long, but trust me, they flow rapidly. I'd like if you give her a chance, because she's an author I owe much to, and I loved her so much that, after 10 years, I came back to her in order to continue her saga. I saw she wrote another saga, in the meanwhile, and I really think I shall buy and read those books

Do you know her? Or have you seen the TV series, Outlander, and got interested? I'd like to hear your impressions, or your concerns about it!

Cheers

Hey Alessandra! I actually just started reading Outlander this week. I'm not sure how I feel about it because I haven't gotten very far, but my mom has read every book in the series and they're her absolute favorite. I also keep getting distracted by rl but I'll try to finish it so we can chat about it.

That's amazing, Nora! I can't wait to hear what do you think about it, I really hope you'll enjoy it

I saw previews for the TV show when it first came out and it looked like something I would really enjoy. Since then I have obsessively watched the TV show, watching each episode at least twice and sometimes upwards of six or seven times. I have tried to convince most all of RQT to watch the show.. >>

I started the book series earlier this year and I'm currently towards the end of the fourth book. They are really long and with my work schedule it's really hard for me to find time to read, but they're definitely page-turners and I'm always disappointed to have to put the book down to go to sleep.

Definitely one of my favorite books and favorite TV series!!
