I found myself at the book store the other day trying to find the book that I’m supposed to be reading for my book club. Of course, I found myself hugely distracted by all the other books calling my name on the shelf. After not being able to find the book that I needed I asked the clerk to help me.
We found ourselves talking about all the different books that we love, and it turns out that one of my very favorite authors is releasing a new book this September. The clerk gave me a small preview of the I am so excited. Her books have a special meaning to me.
The first in the series take place in Scotland and I happened to be in Scotland when my aunt Nancy introduced me to them. I can’t even begin to go into detail about the premise of these books because they sound too strange and unbelievable.
Needless to say, I couldn’t put them down when I found myself on the shore of Loch Ness reading the first one that I’d purchased in a bookshop on one of the first days of our trip.This was almost 10 years ago and I’m still looking forward to seeing what is new with the main characters, Jamie and Claire. Reading again about their lives and immersing myself into their world will be like sitting down with two old friends and catching up.
I am having to exercise self-control and rad my book for Book Group so I can actually participate in discussion with friends that are living and breathing, not just fictitious characters!
