You all know how much I love Outlander! Not just the series but the books as well. That is why I thought I would give you all a chance to enjoy it as well. So I am going to give away 2 sets of the 8 Outlander books. I know there are more in the series but these eight are the ones that contain the Jamie and Claire story so those are the ones I am giving two lucky readers. If you have not read this series yet then I highly recommend it.
If you have then you know that reading it again is like reading it for the first time. To help entice you all here are a few quotes from the books that I really like. Although I must say that while these are but a few you should see the bookmarks on my favorite parts from the books. At some point my Nook is going to say ENOUGH!
“I had one last try. “Does it bother you that I’m not a virgin?” He hesitated a moment before answering. “Well, no,” he said slowly, “so long as it doesna bother you that I am.” He grinned at my drop-jawed expression, and backed toward the door. “Reckon one of us should know what they’re doing,” he said. The door closed softly behind him; clearly the courtship was over.” from Outlander
“I will find you,” he whispered in my ear. “I promise. If I must endure two hundred years of purgatory, two hundred years without you – then that is my punishment, which I have earned for my crimes. For I have lied, and killed, and stolen; betrayed and broken trust. But there is the one thing that shall lie in the balance. When I shall stand before God, I shall have one thing to say, to weigh against the rest.” His voice dropped, nearly to a whisper, and his arms tightened around me. Lord, ye gave me a rare woman, and God! I loved her well.” from Dragonfly in Amber
“And Finally I put down the last and the best advice I knew, on growing older. ‘Stand up straight and try not to get fat.” from Voyager
“What possessed ye, woman, to hit me in the heid wi’ a fish whilst I was fighting for my life?” from Drums of Autmun
“When the day shall come that we do part,” he said softly, and turned to look at me, “if my last words are not ‘I love you’-ye’ll ken it was because I didna have time.” from The Fiery Cross
“This wife you have, Bird said at last, deeply contemplative, did you pay a great deal for her? She cost me almost everything I had, he said, with a wry tone that made the others laugh. But worth it.” from A Breath of Snow and Ashes
“When God closes a door, he opens a window. Yeah. The problem was that this particular window opened off the tenth story, and he wasn’t so sure God supplied parachutes.” from An Echo in the Bone
“He reached out a long arm and drew me in, holding me close against him. I put my arms around him and felt the quiver of his muscles, exhausted, and the sheer hard strength still in him, that would hold him up, no matter how tired he might be. We stood quite still for some time, my cheek against his chest and his face against my hair, drawing strength from each other for whatever might come next. Being married.” from Written in My Own Heart’s Blood
I live in a small Georgia town that you most likely have never heard of and I LOVE it! My house is more than full as I am a single mother of four & caregiver to my aging mother and uncle. Lover of all things Outlander. Goes to the beat of her own drum woman.

I am so happy you got me into this series. Beautiful story, HAWT SEXY MAN!! What’s not to like?
Rita says
I am so glad that you are loving it! I agree it is a beautiful story and there just aren’t words for that man!
Jean says
So excited about this giveaway. I’m a sucker for a tragic love story and these books would provide months (well the way I read, at least a few weeks) of pleasant escape. I haven’t seen the show, but I’m sure I would love it.
Rita says
I highly recommend the show and if you are like me then the books will provide a weekend of great romance! The best part about these books is there is no clear genre for them. They have romance, tragedy, action, and so much more.
Donna Cheatle says
This sounds like a very interesting series! I’d love to give it a try!
Rita says
It is AWESOME! Diana actually just signed a deal for a new book. One read and you will be hooked.
Crystal W says
I loved watching the show! I usually will read the book first but this time I haven’t which I actually have been enjoying more because I don’t know what is going to happen. From the excerpts above it seems like they use alot of the actual dialog from the books. I realllly rreallllly reallllyyyyy loved the wedding night episode (wonder if it was that entertaining in the book) Thanks for the giveaway!
Rita says
The wedding scene was GREAT, I agree and I really love it in the book as well. They are sticking to the book as much as they can. There have been some differences but not enough,in my opinion, to really take away from the story itself and that is important.
