About
Diana Gabaldon is the author of the award-winning, #1 NYT-bestselling OUTLANDER novels, described by Salon magazine as "the smartest historical sci-fi adventure-romance story ever written by a science Ph.D. with a background in scripting ‘Scrooge McDuck’ comics." Diana is serving as a Co-Producer and advisor for the popular Outlander TV series, produced by the Starz network and Tall Ship Productions and distributed by Sony International, which is based on her novels. She has written a script for an episode of the series, also.
In essence, these novels are Big, Fat, Historical Fiction, à la James Clavell and James Michener. However, owing to the fact that Gabaldon wrote the first book for practice, didn’t intend to show it to anyone, and therefore saw no reason to limit herself, they include… history, warfare, medicine, sex, violence, spirituality, honour, betrayal, vengeance, hope and despair, relationships, the building and destruction of families and societies, time travel, moral ambiguity, swords, herbs, horses, gambling (with cards, dice, and lives), voyages of daring, journeys of both body and soul… you know, the usual stuff of literature.

"I don’t like to do things I’ve already done, so (in spite of the fact that this is a series and does involve the same central characters throughout) each book is unique in structure, tone, approach, and theme. The books can be read independently of each other (I can’t be sure that people seeing the newest one on a bookstore table will realize that it’s part of a series, so the books are (with minor exceptions) engineered to stand alone; but if you have a choice, I’d strongly recommend beginning at the beginning, with OUTLANDER, and reading through the story in order of publication (I’d say “in chronological order,” but that isn’t necessarily a useful term when you’re playing fast and loose with time, which I not infrequently do):
Outlander; Dragonfly in Amber; Voyager; Drums of Autumn; The Fiery Cross; and A Breath of Snow and Ashes."

Home sweet home
Today's deals are a collection of things you see at friend's houses and really want, yet never seem to find them for sale anywhere no matter how hard you look.
You have two options. You can either buy 'em right here and now, or you can continue with your plan to steal the desired object from your friend, because "it'd look way better at your house anyway".
We recommend the former, and not just because it'll put bucks in our pocket. Crime is not the answer. Plus you'd never be able to have that person over for fear of being caught.
This way not only can you invite them round, but you can also enjoy the shock on their face when they realise your little summin'-summin' is just that bit nicer than theirs.
Eat your heart out, Joneses.
