Subject: Okay, so it's not just me!

I am a 27 year old mom of 2 (Ryan Mackenzie 4, and Axel James 1 1/2, both named before reading these books :) I am mostly a stay at home mom, and I also coach high school swimming.

I was given Outlander 1 1/2 years ago by my sister-in-law for something to read while feeding my newborn. She felt that I was "worthy" enough to share Jamie with, and made me swear to only share him with other worthy people. I thought she was a little crazy, until I started the books, and pretty much ignored my family (the baby was REALLY hungry lol) until I had finished them all. Now I have to say I am just as obsessed as she is.

Of course I can never admit my obsession to those who have never read the book, but I am glad that I (and my sister-in-law) are not alone in our craziness over Jamie and all of the Outlander books!

Glad to meet you all!!!

-Andrea S

• Hi Andrea! No, it is not just you...haha. Welcome! It's so nice to have so many people here who understand why we have to consider someone "Jamie-worthy" or not. (NT) -- Melissa M, 22:29:29 05/25/10 Tue

• Welcome! As to the "obsession," I can vividly recall talking to a co-worker about the books and evidently I was a little exuberant because she said, "These are people in a book, right? They're not real?" I can complete relate. (NT) -- Kathy, 06:12:16 05/26/10 Wed
