i was faced with a conundrum when Outlander, the famous series of books Diana Gabaldon began writing 20 years ago, was turned into a TV show – because i hadn’t read them and i have always wanted to. i was saving it for one of those holidays where you devour 5 books in a week while lying on the beach and in between afternoon naps. but i can’t resist a good period drama, especially a steamy one at that.
i knew the basic premise of the story before going into it but won’t spoil anything for you in case there’s any chance you know nothing about the series. i really enjoyed the first two episodes, now i can say i am truly sucked in. but here comes that conundrum again – should i carry on watching, or start reading the books rather? perhaps those of you who have read them can weigh in here (but no spoilers, please!)
