An Echo in the Bone (Outlander Series #7)
It came out September 2009.
I think it is good. I am halfway through the book.
I am not rushing the book. The characters and story are enjoyable a piece at a time.
I do like the history and the comparisons of the modern society to the revolutionary period. I have liked them all. But the early ones were some of the best.

I read and loved the Outlander series. When did this seventh book come out? Was it any good? I found that the earlier books were better to the later ones in the series. What did you think?

I enjoy Harper Conolly and Aurora Teagarden but like Lily Bard the best of all of H

I particularly likedGaudy Night (A Lord Peter Wimsey Mystery) andHave His Carcase (A Lord Peter Wimsey Mystery), although as far as I'm concerned, you can't go wrong with any of her detective fiction: she wrote several full-length mysteries and a number of short stories as well. In her spare time she also translated The Song of Roland and almost all three parts of Dante's Divine Comedy.Thanks for the Amanda Cross recommendation; I have read several of her books (was actually introduced to her in a feminist theory class that assigned an article that used one of her murder mysteries to talk about the way we conduct criticism) but haven't read all of them yet. As you can see I love reading murder mysteries written by academically-inclined women.Another author whose mysteries I've been enjoying is Charlaine Harris. The Sookie Stackhouse books are more along the lines of fantasy/romance than straight mystery, but I devoured them once I started watching True Blood. I think I liked the Harper Connelly stories even better (but she can hear the dead, so there's definitely a supernatural element there too). Her earlier books, which I am going through (just finishedShakespeare's Champion (Lily Bard Series #2) today), are enjoyable to me too.
arris' characters. Gald to see someone else enjoys them as well.

Has anyone read this one yet? I've been holding off reading it because I heard there would be a 2nd book, thought it would be good to read them back to back.

There are actually going to be three. The Fall will be published September 21, 2010, and the third should be done in 2011 (summer or fall, I would guess). I liked this one. It was an interesting twist on the old vampire paradigm and a relief after Twilight and all its copy cats. I definitely sympathize with the desire to wait till you can read straight through, though!
I received my "confirmation" last week but have been busy with shoveling and shoveling and shoveling. We received 21" in Perkasie, PA. That's on top of the 12" we received last Saturday.
I just finished reading:
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (Millennium Trilogy Series #1)
Also reading:
Today, I am listening to on my ipod:
The Girl who Played With Fire (Millennium Trilogy Series #2)
Can't wait to get "The Poacher's Son"!
Thanks so much for the list of 'First Look' selections. I'm excited that I have had the pleasure of being involved with half of the selections. I've been hearing really wonderful things about The House at Riverton. I think I'm going to have to add that one to my TBR list.
Right now I am reading The Sugar Queen by Sarah Addison Allen. It's the first book I've read by her and I like it a lot.

"House of Riverton" is one of my all-time favorites and "The Forgotten Garden" too - both by Kate Morton!
