I’m in. I’ll ship wherever, just means smaller book(s)… 😁 Not a fan of romances ( I have read Outlander but only 'cos it has time travel and history) but everything else is pretty much fair game. ---

I’m surprised by my liking the written Outlander books as much as I do, in spite of the sci fi/fantasy time travel aspects and romance heavy books. All I can think is that the historical fiction weighs in enough that I have enjoyed them so much that I am re-reading them in whatever order I can get them from my public library. Glad I am not the only one who stepped out of her comfort zone and found themselves enjoying it. ---

I’ll play if needed, but I realized yesterday that I’ve already put most of my spare books into the Little Free Library by my house. The spirit is willing, but the pickings are slim! ---

Gotcha. Are we going to specify hardcovers/softcovers, or does it really matter? ---
