Updates

Hello everyone well we have made it to the hot summer months and the challenge is still going strong we now have 69 partakers in the joys of the Outlander Series YAY!!! I wanted to say a big heartfelt welcome to all the new participants you are all now listed on the participants list. :) I do hope everyone is enjoying the series so far don't be a stranger come back and comment on the posts and discussions about the books with other challenge members! :)

And I have a question for everyone what has been your favorite characters and storylines so far in the series?

Have a great one everyone!!!

New Finish Date - Challenge updated!

All of the participants are now listed on the challenge list. Sorry I was behind again I tend to be apologizing a lot lately forgive me for that. But it is all up to date now and I want to shout out a big welcome to all those who have recently signed up! We are glad to have you join us! :)

Ok I have heard from several people that would really like to see this challange extended a bit because the books are so large. So I have made an executive decision and the Challenge will now end on Jan. 31, 2011 I hope this helps some of you to complete the challenge with a little less stress. :) And I will say it will help me as well I'm still on Outlander and I'm hosting the challenge LOL this year has been crazy busy so I totally understand how RL can wreck one's reading time. So we all have a few more months to complete it! AND we now are at 59 participants YAY but let's see if we can get some buddies to join in and get it over 60 that would be awesome! I do hope you all are enjoying the adventures of Jamie and Claire so far!

55 and answering a few questions...

We just hit 55 participants woohooo! Thank you to all the newbies who have signed up since the last update. I have everyone added to the list that wanted to sign up now. :) Welcome to the challenge and I hope you enjoy the books! Don't forget to come back and tell us about your progress and get your achievement badges for your blogs when you finish each book. :)

Now there have been several asking questions and I would like to try to answer those here...

Q- Is it to late to join? A- No not at all this challenge runs through Nov. 17th of this year. But I am seriously considering extending this to Jan. of 2011. I would like some feedback from the current participants on this if i can get even 5 that want me to extend it to Jan I'll go ahead and make that change. That will give everyone a few more months because lets face it even as good as they are they are big books I know and that would be a little bit longer for everyone. :)

Q- I have read the first book recently can I count that towards the challenge and start from there. A- As far as I'm concerned if you already read the first one or first ones within the last 6 months and want to go from there to finish up the challenge... I think that is fine. Jump on in and enjoy the rest of the series with us!

If anyone else has any other questions please don't hesitate to ask! :) And everyone please join in the discussions on the series as well if you have time.

We are over the 45 mark!!! And a question for you all.

YAY!!!!!!!! We are now over the 45 mark in challenge participants! This is so wonderful I can't say how happy this has made me. I know these books are rather large (but once you start them you can't stop and they fly by) so I am more than pleased with this turn out! Best of luck to you all and I hope you really enjoy the books. :)

A few of you have already notified me that you have finished Outlander and are on to Dragonfly woohoooo!!!!!!! HUGE congrats I love to hear what you all think of the books as you go along in the challenge, and I do hope you will join the others in the discussions here about the books too as you finish each one let us know what you think of them! :)

And I said this on the participants thread but I wanted to say it here too... I am VERY sorry it took me so long to get back to you all and get you added to the list but everyone is on there now! This last week was crazy busy at my house and I am way behind on all my blogging.

Again I am so happy that you all found us and joined and even more for you passing the challenge on to others! I hope you enjoy the books and do come back and let us all know what you think! :)

Everyone that posted to join is welcome absolutely!!! And no it's never to late jump righ on in anytime you can. I am thinking of making this a running challenge that stays up even after this year what do you all think?
