Quick question: Outlander books

[SASM]

I haven’t read any Outlander books but I am intrigued. Are they stand-alone books or should they really be read in order? Audible has a great 2 for 1 deal today and Book 6 of the series is included in the sale. At 57+ hours, I am intrigued. Would love to listen to it but would I be completely lost without listening to/reading Books 1-5?? TIA!!

You'll want to read or listen to them in order.

In order for sure.

Yep. In order.

Definitely in order, but the audio books are great to listen to! Love the accents.

Thank you everyone! I actually had a fair amount of credits so I bought a bunch. Guess I’ll be listening to Outlander for quite some time!

I have listened to all of them. I love them and am on the 6th book now. I think I would have gotten bogged down reading them. There are many times when I want the story to move along a little faster. But the language is beautiful. I think I would have read right over the detail. But can appreciate it better when listening.

Now I'm going to sound like my mother. I haven't quite figured out all the technology and never buy books. So yes, I've been getting them from the library. Like 60 CDs at a time that I dutifully listen to in my van most of the time. The narrator is amazing.

They do a get more than a bit adult in content (more so in the earlier books) so do be aware of extra ears.

Thank you! I had a feeling the books would involve a fair amount of adult content. I shudder at the thought of how long it’ll take me to get to Book 6 let alone the most current installment!
