I'm really enjoying this summer. When I'm not doing Marine Corps stuff or Boy Scout stuff, I'm reading, resting, relaxing and rknitting (sorry, I wanted it to start with a letter R).
I've been reading Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series all summer. I read the first four books in the early 90s but recently discovered that she kept on writing (after I thought I had finished the series). So I started over again. I've finished Outlander, Dragonfly in Amber, Voyager and Drums of Autumn. Each book is a hefty 700 - 1,000 pages! Now I'm starting The Fiery Cross. With all this dedicated reading, I decided I needed my own particular bookmark.
Being a knitter, I grabbed some random fingering weight yarn, size 6 needles and began Lace #1 from Nancie Wiseman's Lace from the Attic. Voila! The perfect bookmark for my epic reading.
P.S. Wilma asked me to pass along her thanks for all your well wishes. She woke up feeling much better!
Davina Porter narrates the unabridged books. I got them all from Audible. Diana lives in Westport, last I knew, I got to meet her this year at a local play she was in. Her voice will always be Claire for me. My fav series!!

These books are wonderful. I can read them over and over again. I like to get them on disc for long car trips too. The narrator does a fantastic job.
