Last evening my wife and I viewed Outlander's debut episode, called Sassenach (the episode's title). It followed the Epigraph and Part One, Inverness, 1945 (the first 5 chapters) of the novel quite closely. It captured my wife's interest as she's currently looking forward enthusiastically to the next episode. Oh, so am I.

Neither my wife nor myself are fans of HBO's Game of Thrones.

But for right now back to the titles I've currently been reading quite diligently!
Since I'd pretty much burnt out on them I just put two books, Outlander and Under the Skin onto my MFRL (maybe finish reading later) pile leaving The Spitting Image, The Paper Magician and Mr. Mercedes as well as adding Ready Player One (at 8% read) to my 'currently reading' list! Then I finished reading The Spitting Image and I loved reading it as much as I had enjoyed reading the first one in the 'Ed Noon' series!

I believe that I'll concentrate on Ready Player One and leave the other two for nexties!
