And the beat goes on...

I'm about halfway through Diana Gabaldon's Drums of Autumn (3rd in a series of very FAT books, all about one couple) and the romance between Jamie and Claire is just as fresh as in Outlander.
How can this be? Kinda makes me ponder sexual tension. Most of the time it's really hard to keep a reader's interest once the H and h proclaim love and hit their happily-ever-after. How can daily drudgery and dialogue between these two be so intrinsically interesting?
Well, for one thing, their adventures are pretty darn believable, yet exciting. And you can see their feelings for one another. It's obvious by the characters' actions and dialogue.
Superb.
And now I've got a new book in the series to collect...

Watcha Readin' Wednesday

At long last, I've finished Diana Gabaldon's Voyager. It's an awesome book - just extremely long. Third in the Outlander series (after Dragonfly in Amber), this story reunites Claire and Jamie, while revisiting old fears and bringing them into new journeys, and of course new dangers.

Right up to the last page, I was glued to the story, waiting to see whether this installment would end with our lovers in a good or bad situation.

Now I'm delving into Drums of Autumn - book number 4.

This books is totally a Keeper. I treasure this collection and will no doubt read it again.

On the Reader (and no doubt next week's review): Swept Away, by Toni Blake.
