I shouldn’t admit this, but I was literally closing my door at work (pretending I was on a conference call) for an hour at a time sometimes more than once a day to read those bloody books. I hear #8 in the Outlander series will be out early 2013. I hope DG will be at Decatur Book Festival this year since she has published The Scottish Prisoner since DBF 2011.

I was playing cards with a group of FAVE parents at Tybee Island.

It’s taking every ounce of resolve I can muster not to download the latest in that series until I take some official vacation time. I read the first one during a hiatus between jobs several years ago. Finished it after dinner one night and walked directly down to the bookstore and bought the next two. Finished all (I think there were four at that time) within a couple of weeks. When the next one finally came out in paperback, I re-read all. They hold up for a second reading IMO. Unfortunately, I had no more self-control or maturity the second time around — read ’til 2am too many times!

Oh man. Completely missed that John Hiatt and Lyle Lovett were playing together here this week. Hope it was as awesome as I imagine it was!

This happened to me this past fall with Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander. Finished the first (900 page) book in a week, shirking all other responsibilities. Vowed to take a break so at least some laundry could get done. Within 3 minutes, I had the next book downloaded on my Kindle. Read all 7 in as many weeks and immediately started over. Fortunately, the second time around I am able to exert a bit more self control.
