Outlander Graphic Novel?

Oh yes... there is one. "The Exile"... and while this may be of little interest to anyone besides Gwennie and I, the need to post it still remains. I'm almost done with the third book, and wondering if I shouldn't hold back on the next one and get some actual work done instead of listening to the books really loudly in trains and whilst vacuuming, or somewhat more quietly as I goldschmied into the night and then realize it's hours past my bedtime.

Also of note, one cannot "hear" a graphic novel. Jesus H. Theodore Roosevelt Christ.

I don't even know what to do with the idea of an Outlander graphic novel, Peddie.

And, how funny is that Grandpa is reading them now (although I bought him the first book on his Kindle for his birthday as I knew he'd love it).

I thought I would never finish the Fiery Cross. It took me months and I didn't even read much of anything else during the duration (except for The Magician -- book two of The Immortal Secrets of Nicholas Flamel and half of The Year of Living Biblically -which would technically be 6 months of Living Biblically, right? No worries, I'm going to get that finished!).

Ahahah. Maybe I need a color kindle before I purchase such a graphic-graphic novel... I don't know.

I'm am kinda holding back from Drums of Autumn... the ending of Voyager did not suck as much as Dragonfly in Amber, so the time between has allowed me to listen to a different book because I feel like I should change it up a little.

I am simultaneously struck with entertainment, pride, and maybe some blushed cheeks at the thought of Grandpa reading these books.

PS: I love your comments so much... your are funny and smart and a good writer... just like Bossypants! (which I also just re-listened to.)

Oh dear. I just discovered that Audible now has the 6th and 7th books unabridged read by...DAVINA PORTER (said like Cleo). Aaaaahhhhh...am clicking buy right now. Nooooooo!!!! It's 57(!) hours!!!!

P.S. Grandpa is now reading the Fiery Cross. He's obsessed. I knew he'd love them.

Fiver minutes later from last comment: Peddie, I now own Book Six - a Breath of Fire and Ashes. Maybe there's a patch for these like a nicotine patch. Maybe she'll quite writing the darn things.

Anyway, if you want to keep going, I can catch you up on what happens in the Fiery Cross in about 5 sentences...

I do need to get the next book read first, but I think I'll take your cliff notes sum-up. I think I'd start hitting myself on the head if I had to read one of the actual books (and it might give me a concussion since they're so big).

PS: One of my favorite movie lines of all time that nobody gets is from Inigo Montoya, of the Princess Bride, which is something like, "Let me explain. No, it is too long. Let me sum-up."
