All caught up and missing the Highlands already, ye ken?

An Echo in the Bone - Diana Gabaldon Sorry for the cheesecake image, but feeling the plaid right now! Just finished her 7th novel in the Outlander series and feel desperate for more. Rumors had it that this would be the last, but as I was creeping within 100 pages of ending this over 800 page novel, she just kept adding more and more layers. This books is set both in 1980 Scotland and 1777 America and Scotland. It started out a bit slow with too much Lord John for me, but then really kicked up the pace. She's adding more characters and more story lines, and I found myself really liking them. It made me want to go and read more about the American Revolution. Lots of famous battles and names that I just had vague memories of from History class. I loved it - really hope she continues this and can't wait for the next!
