Especially if you feel such a strong connection to the characters.<br /><br />I am also one of those people who "wouldn't be caught dead in the Romance section of a bookstore". For all the years that Diana's books were shelved in Romance, they might as well have been utterly invisible to me. Thanks to Diana's persistence, the major bookstore chains in the U.S. (Borders, Barnes & Noble and the like) switched several years ago to stocking the OUTLANDER books under Fiction, or Literature, not Romance.<br /><br />KarenKaren Henryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07635855088490793965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7379581147262228210.post-76525884871226478492009-07-27T23:29:49.887-04:002009-07-27T23:29:49.887-04:00I live in Australia so cant enter the competition,...I live in Australia so cant enter the competition, what a shame!!!Belindanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7379581147262228210.post-40488667865407947102009-07-27T22:23:50.552-04:002009-07-27T22:23:50.552-04:00I'm supposed to leave a comment because my fav...I'm supposed to leave a comment because my favorite Outlander character was: "other". I didn't ever expect to read Outlander or any of the others. I pretty much stick to non-fiction. Biographies, economics, philosophy, physics, journalism, politics, history, etc. <br /><br />An amazing young woman in my life suggested the Outlander series. I went to the local 1/2 price book store and inquired of one of my favorite booktenders. He said, "Really?", and looked at me in a manner that showed he was quite amazed as he pointed me to the romance section. I forgot I knew how to blush. <br /><br />I found a connection with Jamie I never expected. I've never met a character I identify with more. His character and Claire's amaze me. <br /><br />Claire, incredibly, personifies the young lady who introduced me to Diana's work. I have not read further as I have seen others reactions as they read the series. I have been dying to read further, but am ashamed I cannot.<br /><br />I recognize as I write that Jamie is not my favorite, just the one I identify with. Claire is my favorite. I see her everytime lightning lights the skies...my dragonfly.Erikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15635610912407767554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7379581147262228210.post-16694695859233770552009-07-27T16:55:19.262-04:002009-07-27T16:55:19.262-04:00This is more than a little exciting.

My book club will have to pick Outlander if I win this contest! :-) I can also stop passing around my bedraggled copy and give everyone their own which would be great.<br /><br />Thanks for the news!<br /><br />LauraLaura's Reviewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13904763940307902364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7379581147262228210.post-88420440010721648752009-07-27T14:54:28.904-04:002009-07-27T14:54:28.904-04:00Met:
