The year is 1945. Claire Randall, a former combat nurse, is back from the war and reunited with her husband on a second honeymoon–when she walks through a standing stone in one of the ancient stone circles that dot the British Isles. Suddenly she is a Sassenach–an “outlander”–in a Scotland torn by war and raiding Highland clans in the year of Our Lord…1743.
Hurled back in time by forces she cannot understand, Claire is catapulted into intrigues and dangers that may threaten her life…and shatter her heart. For here she meets James Fraser, a gallant young Scots warrior, and becomes a woman torn between fidelity and desire…and between two vastly different men in two irreconcilable lives. -(summary from Goodreads)

How fun!!! We all love the read-alongs…:) Im going to try and do this one with you guys!
I think it'll be fun Tina! You're such fun & I hope it works out so you can join us!
ME! I want to read Outlander!! I have also heard great things about it and checked this book out of the library before, only to return it unread:( So I'm signing up! This will be my first readalong:)
HEATHER YAY!!!!!!!
I'm SO EXCITED to see that you want to do this with us!!! REALLY EXCITED!!
Oh my. I think I might have to sign up for this one. I've read it before, but I'd love to do a reread. Will check to see how bad school will be at that point. With any luck, it'll be smooth sailing!
EMS!!!! YAY!!! I hope it works out… I need to check the starting date for you so you'll know exactly. I hope it's smooth sailing so you can join us!
I'm starring this post in my Google Reader because I'm SERIOUSLY considering joining in this one. I've got a copy of Outlander on my Nook, and like you, I've always wanted to read (or at least start) this series!
P.S. I love library book sales. 🙂
Natalie, I saw your last library haul and it was SO GOOD!
I hope you can join us! This book has literally made fun of me for ages, probably because of its length and how busy I am. But with readalongs, it is fun and easy because it is broken down. I'm really excited and SO HAPPY that you're at least considering it. HOPE x 10000 that it works out for your schedule!!!
Thanks for hosting this with my Asheley! It will be buckets of fun!
I'm excited Jacinda!! Everything I've ever done with you has been buckets of fun. 🙂
YAYYYY! I can't wait for you to read this!! I can't wait for all the first timers to read it, actually. I love it so much. 🙂
I'm excited too! It's staring me down, right here beside my bed.
I hope you realize this means more kilts on your blog. Lot's more.
So I've heard! BRING. IT. I'm all for the sexy sexy.
