It took a while for me to get into the first book, I'd say the whole of Outlander part 1 I was thinking 'what the hell is all the fuss about?!' And if, like you, I had a flounce gene I'd have bounced; but this is definitely one of times when I can say wholehearted 'Thank you God!' for that I have that deficiency 

So, do you think Outlander is as good as The Bronze Horseman?   If you say yes, it's going to hurt!  hehe

Who knew there was a whole Outlander forum...   makes me want to go see if I can find a TBH forum!

Finished For the Summer by camoozle 

It was cute! I thought a few times "this is never going to end!" with all the back and forth, but I still enjoyed it 

I thought that a few times too about FTS but I still really liked it.    Maybe it was just a hair too long?   I don't know, I guess it made the end seem even more special.

Ummm.. yes... me too!!! I loved these stories, and was excited to see them come to life!!! I was extremely disappointed, they ruined it!! ARGH 

The Eragon books were one of the first things I read after Harry Potter turned me into a bibliophile.  Like you I was so excited about these movies but they were just horrible.   Must have been extremely low budget.

EXACTLY!!!!!!!! I felt the same way.. I wanted so badly to love it!!  I would have enjoyed a needle in my eye more than one more page! 
**high five** to you for making it 3/4 the way through!! I just... kind of want to burn it.. *ahahahahaa...)

I worship JK Rowling and it's only because of my love for her that I suffered the 3/4.  I just kept thinking something was going to happen.  Something just HAD to happen.  From what I read about it nothing ever did happen.   Someone told me that this book was less about stuff happening and more of a character study and I guess I just couldn't get into it.   

I watched The Mortal Instruments but have no plans to read the series. It was ok, nothing great but will likely watch the sequels if only to bond with my daughter who has read all the books.

I thought the first three TMI books were really good, but I was highly disappointed with the fourth.  Made me wonder if it was meant to just be a trilogy but the popularity brought on more books?

I've had this crazy obsession with books since I was in elementary school... That and once they are in my hands, they will always be in my hands! The boxes of books got a little crazy, and the hubby suggested I donate... Yeah, he'll never live that one down! I miss them

Oh... Maybe that's why I couldn't get into it.. A character study is not on my list of things to read

Who??

Savich and Sherlock are FBI agents in Catherine Coulter's mystery series.

I tried reading Outlander during my "can't read anything but Twifics" stage. So it is not surprising I flounced. That and I kind of burned out on period pieces a long time ago. Every one gets compared to Kathleen Woodiweiss and is found lacking.  Sigh.... I think I still have a crush on Ruark.... (Shanna)

Don't know if i will ever read Outlander as it sounds angsty to me 

When will Woodiwiss come out with a new book? It feels like it's been so long! Shanna and The Wolf and the Dove are the first 2 historical romances i ever read when i was in junior high. She got me hooked on historical romances. My other go-to authors for historicals are Judith McNaught, Julie Garwood, Julia Quinn, Stephanie Laurens, Johanna Lindsey and Catherine Coulter. 

Oh motherf*ckinghell.....

What stupid f*cker gives awards out to stories not complete?!...

I have something to tell you. And, I know its going to hurt and I really wish I could turn back the clock and for it to never have happened! But you have to admit....things have been really strained between us and.....it feels like we're drifting apart. And I know, I know it's probably not you, it's all me. I just hope...well, I just really hope you can forgive me. Because of course I think you're sexy and intelligent and all round amazing....but sometimes it's just, I don't know, things just happen......I'm so sorry.....I cheated on you with the Outlander forum 

So, does this mean you are leaving us??

Move somewhere .. or come to an end ?? ( why ) 


S 

I am pretty sure that they shut down due to a lack of money to keep the site going.

  I'm crushed. Simply crushed. How could you?     So tell me, is this something that you want to pursue or was it a one time thing?

So, does this mean you are leaving us?? 

Nah! I'm a total hoor, I'm going to two-time

It is angsty to the power of a 100... not gonna lie. Hence why I love it!

It is a really close call, I think.....but, I think TBH squeaks in by a hair. If Outlander has just ended with the first three books it might have been a tie.  I'll tally-up again once the Outlander series is finished.

Oh Lordie! I can't take any more recc's.... *runs off to check author on Goodread* 

To be totally honest I don't like historical romances, all that bodice ripping? Not my thing. What makes Outlander work, for me anyway, is that element of time travel, the heroine is from 20th century with a modern woman's sensibilities. The juxtaposition of the modern woman with the 18th century man keeps it from sinking into cliché.

Ok, how do you stop reading fanfiction long enough to read a published story? I have the epub of Deborah Harkness' A Discovery of Witches. it is the first in her All Souls Trilogy and I can't seem to stop with the fanfiction long enough to read it.


I also seem to recall someone saying that the fanfiction downloader for Calibre was updating if a story was complete or not. Well, I went to the custom columns tab under the configuration and unchecked new only from Status. Now it works.

Um, don't think I can help you there. It took me 3.5 years to read something other than Twifics.

The thing that annoys me about the complete/not complete thing? If the author forgets to change the status?  It will always show as incomplete. 

But yeah, you have to let certain things update every time. Like chapters.

DO IT!!!! I really enjoyed reading the first two books, need to crack open the third!

Start off slow, read a published fanfic.  hehe.
