bookswithchaipai | 120 comments I finished the 100 book Challenge 2015 a day short of the year end and so excited to start a new challenge for 2016. I'm planning to beat my last year's by 10 books so here goes to the 110 Book Challenge. Will bring in the year with The Dragonfly in Amber since I read The Outlander last year and fell in love with it.

Megan (lahairoi) | 7470 comments Congrats on finishing last year's challenge! I love Outlander as well, so good luck to you. Have you watched any of the series? I actually thought the adaptation was a good one.

bookswithchaipai | 120 comments Thank u. I loved the second book of the outlander series too. Although have not seen the tv series yet and plan to watch them soon. Can't wait to read the next instalment. But guess will take a break and read other books before getting back to the third book.

Jackie B. - Death by Tsundoku (reiwing2040) | 1343 comments Wow! Those are some large books. I haven't read the Outlander series yet. Would you recommend it?


bookswithchaipai | 120 comments Hi Jackie, I would definitely recommend the series. They do get to be slow reads sometimes, but then they get so interesting that you can't seem to keep the book down. I prefer to read the book before I watch it onTV so can't wait to finish all the books so I can watch the series!

Chaitra, just so you know, the first season of the series only goes halfway through the first book. At this rate, you could probably watch and keep reading the series without any spoilers.

Jackie B. - Death by Tsundoku (reiwing2040) | 1343 comments I'll definitely add it to my list, then. I love the sort of reading where you can't put it down!

bookswithchaipai | 120 comments Hi Megan, will definitely watch it now.
