Don’t even ask me how I ended up watching Outlander at first, because I can’t figure it out. The last thing I remember was thinking “that looks pretty corny and a bit B-grade so I don’t think I’ll bother,” and somehow since then I’ve watched every episode made (half a season) and I can’t stop thinking about it.
The story is about an English woman who is travelling with her husband in the Scottish Highlands at the end of WWII, when she steps through some standing stones and finds herself stranded and alone in the middle of the 18th Century.
I know. I KNOW it sounds corny but it is SO good. A bit slow to start, but after a while you don’t even mind the slow pace, it’s like this show takes the time to respect the characters and the viewers and build the suspense and action properly.
There’s no way I can wait until half way through next year for more of Claire’s adventures, so now I’m reading the first book. Again, SUPER addicted. As soon as I finish writing this post I’m going to pick the book back up again, because I’m in the middle of a really good bit and it is quite important that I find out what comes next!
Also, I really need to visit Scotland.
What have you been watching and reading lately? Have you read the Outlander books? No spoilers please!!!
