The Outlandish Companion 155 reviews Diana Gabaldon
Delacorte Press, 1999
Great insight into the Outlander series
+ The Outstanding Outlander Companion + A good companion
This is an excellent companion book to the Outlander series of books. I would recommend this book to any reader who wants a bit more information on the process of writing. Was a bit disappointing to find extracts of her more recent novels in this book... a bit like paying for the same books ...

The History of Love: A Novel 278 reviews Nicole Krauss
W. W. Norton, 2006
My Highest Recommendation
+ Life, death, and the meaning in between
This tale is woven together so masterfully it's nearly impossible to put down. The characters and their distinct voices are rich, unique, and memorable in a way that has worked into my own personal history of the love of reading.
We begin by getting to know "the oldest man in the world," Leopold ...

Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim 313 reviews David Sedaris
Little, Brown and Company, 2004
Sedaris knows how to show you a great time.
+ Dress Your Family in Cords or enim + This book is a truly enjoyable read.

Lord John and the Private Matter (Lord John Grey Novels) 163 reviews Diana Gabaldon
Delta, 2004
Lord John Private Matter
+ Love This Series!!! + Not on par with Outlander but still an entertaining, character driven story.
item arrived on time and in expected condition, good seller. Diana Gabaldon's books, all of them, are excellent, you just can't put them down once you get about a third of the way into the first one you will go zooming through the rest of them like lightning.
