This week I have been switching between three books; Ruth’s Journey by Donald McCaig – this is the story of Scarlett O’Hara’s Mammy. This supporting character in Gone with the Wind gets her own story. So far I’m really enjoying it – a full review will be forthcoming. The second book I’m listening to is Half Bad by Sally Green. It tells the story of 16 year old Nathan Byrn who is the son of a white witch and a black witch, which is not a great legacy to have. So far it’s very good, and again a review will be forthcoming. With the publicity machine ramping up for STARZ’ Outlander, the TV adaptation of Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander, I decided to relisten to the first book again to refresh my memory. I am really excited about this adaptation – it’s being helmed by Battlestar Galactica’s Ron D. Moore, and the casting I’ve seen is fantastic. I think Catriona Balfe and Sam Heughan will do excellently as our protagonists Claire and Jamie. Roll on August! I had hoped to attend the signing in Ottawa with Diana Gabaldon, but unfortunately it’s a little too tight with my vacation. Added to my library…
