Love Diana Gabaldon writing

I love hearing these background stories! Very captivating! Lord John Grey is a fascinating man to say the least

Feeds the Outlander Obsession

Great little conglomerate of new and old spin-off stories. Only one of which I had read or listened to already. I loved getting to know Minnie and Hal better especially!

Connected the dots.

Especially liked the author's explanations at the end of each part. Now let's get to the next big book!

Awesome as usual for Gabaldon

It was fun to learn more about some of the characters in her Outlander series.

Don't skip this one!

I loved all of the stories in this book. Don't skip it if you're an Outlander fan. my favorite in this was A Fugitive Green. I really loved Minnie's character and was really interested in exploring her's and Hal's relationship. I definitely wasn't ready for that story to end.
