Here's a link from Diana's site that discusses where all the stories fall chronologically.

This was a very good one - “A Leaf on the Wind of All Hallows” (short story (no, really, it is)) — Set (mostly) in 1941‐43, this is the story of What Really Happened to Roger MacKenzie’s parents.

Thank you!

Outlander (and the Lord John spinoff) is one of my favourite series. I have to say I was less than impressed by the first book but the series really improves quickly. I like multi-POV series so I'm glad it started taking off in that direction. I'm looking forward to the next book but I don't think a release date has been mentioned anywhere.

I had to giggle at the comment about 20th century characters - time-travel is involved, so they may *be* 20th century characters! :D

I've just started book 2. About 9 Chapters in. I can't put this down. I'm so in love with the characters. Her development of them is amazing. I have to like the characters to want to continue reading. And I know this series is going to leave me with a massive book hangover. I'm going to miss them so much when I'm done (does that make me weird)?

I love these books. I have to say top of my hate list for books are romance, even worse is historical romances, or as I call them hysterical bodice rippers. I am also not a prude but find excessive sex scenes tedious. I tend to skim over them. I have no idea why I love these books, I just do. I am now way ahead of the TV series and I have to say I am very much enjoying where they are going. It must be an anomaly, same as Game of thrones, I love them but do not like fantasy books.
