Have you heard of the book " Virgins"? It's a story about Jamie and Ian. Thinking of ordering it. The wait on Season 3 is excruciating! I need a fix, lol.

I've recently been turned on to audio books since I got an Amazon Echo for Christmas. I can go about my daily chores and do things around the house while listening.

I usually can't stand the voice or the pace of audio books

At first I didn't like it, but very quickly fell in love with Davina Porters narration. You can adjust the pace to your liking.

I might try it, but I'm afraid it's not my thing, mainly because reading is always faster than reading out loud.

Donna723 · 01-21-2017, 01:44 PM

Ha! Well I finished book 4 in 4 days.

**wickedrum** · 01-21-2017, 01:56 PM

I did them at around that speed as well when I read them.

I'm reading it now.

Jaimie and Ian are mercenaries in France. It's set prior to Outlander.

So Trail of Fire is just a compilation of previously published short stories? Or at least I'm pretty sure that I've read all of those.

Is Virgins a good read?

sourburst · 01-22-2017, 04:45 PM

Yes this book, Diana placed the short stories into one paperback novel. Previously only able to get as an ebook. I've never heard of the one you're reading though Chris? Is it on Goodreads? I'm interested to learn more about these short stories as I only found out about them 2 days ago

**wickedrum** · 01-22-2017, 04:47 PM

I didn't know you were such a fan Chris!

***Chris*** · 01-24-2017, 08:39 AM

Yes, I'm a fan. My copies Outlander and Dragonfly in Amber are paperbacks, but the rest are hardcovers.

It is. It gives some nice backstory about Jaimie & Ian's friendship.

I also enjoyed A Leaf on the Wind of All Hallows. I'm not a big fan of the Lord John Grey stories.
