I am currently re-reading the Outlander series. I am half way through Voyager and I have found that reading it for the second time I have picked up even more details of the story. I absolutely love the saga and can't wait for the TV series and movie. Totally hooked.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2193939705192575193.post-46336609324905142052013-10-05T14:04:12.346-04:002013-10-05T14:04:12.346-04:00I'm reading fiery cross right now, and yes it ...I'm reading fiery cross right now, and yes it is bigger and white.
