Hello, My Name is Sarah, and I’m an ‘Outlander’ Addict

#1: The Feels

Outlander- Starz

In case you haven’t been able to tell, I am an Outlander addict. It’s been a part of my life for 14 years, and even when I step away from it (as happens from time to time, especially before the TV show premiered), I know that it’s waiting for me with open arms. Between eight Outlander novels and several other Lord John Grey books, there is enough to keep me busy for a long time. It’s not just the fact that there is SO MUCH Outlander to immerse myself in, though. It’s the feelings the books and the characters give me.

When you fall in love with a book, or a series of books, you fall in love with the characters and your empathy kicks in. It’s one of the most beautiful experiences, I think, as a human that we can have. Empathy.

I feel love, hate, jealousy, and passion. I’ve laughed and cried and sang and danced and screamed. I’ve thrown things and cuddled things and swore to never read the books again because they are such emotional assault. But I never really will give them up, because reading is my first true love and Outlander is my most favorite forbidden fantasy.

We’d love to hear from you! What is it about Outlander that you love? What are your favorite parts of the books and the show? Find us on twitter, and don’t forget to Share, Like, and Subscribe!
