How to join in with the Claire and Jamie Outlander Book Club

All you need to know to join in with our upcoming Outlander Book Club

The Claire and Jamie Outlander Book Club is starting on June 1. Something I’ve been asked a lot is how to join. It’s super simple for everyone!

All you need to do is read the book. We’re doing a chapter a day, starting with the very first book on June 1. This date was chosen to mark the anniversary of the novel’s publication. It is known as “Outlander Day” for a very good reason.

There are 41 chapters to the first book. Each day, we’ll read a chapter and break it down. My posts will include a page with the book connection (for those who are rereading and want to connect to later passages), a page for those who are reading for the first time, and a page for those who like to connect to the TV show.

Where to join in with the discussions

The Outlander Book Club isn’t exactly going to be a group of sorts. Instead, the discussion happens in the comments on the article. You can scroll to the bottom and share your thoughts on the chapter.

You can also join in the discussion on the Facebook page. I’ll make the daily posts a sticky one, so it’s always at the top of the Claire and Jamie Facebook page. If you haven’t joined that yet, this is a great time. Just click the “Like” button! The comments on the post will be open to enjoy the discussion.

Once thing I do ask is to be mindful that some people are reading for the first time. Don’t belittle them because they watched the show first or are only just getting into the books.

We will all have different opinions and thoughts. Please avoid being rude—and remember writing loses the tone of voice making it harder to tell if someone is being sarcastic or jokey instead of just rude.

I want this to be an enjoyable place for all; somewhere people don’t need to feel silly for only just noticing something in a chapter or to feel bad for asking a question as a first-time reader.

The Outlander Book Club begins June 1.
