By the way, I asked about audiobooks and was assured that the unabridged audiobooks do indeed count toward this challenge!

Is there any reward if you DO read all books again? Cause all 7 books are fresh in my mind.

LOL! You can do what many of us do, and just start over with OUTLANDER when you finish the series! I'm partway through a re-listen of DRAGONFLY at the moment, myself.

As for this challenge, it only says read all 7 books by the end of the year. It doesn't say you have to stop where you are in the re-read and start over!

Personally, I think it might take Carol most of the year to do a re-read of the whole series. :-) Considering that it took her what, 8 or 9 months to read the books the first time? But I really don't mean that in a negative way. It takes me a full year to get through all the OUTLANDER + LJ audiobooks. I started over with OUTLANDER in mid-December.

Only the usual....the reward of immersing yourself in a wonderful story, revisiting familiar characters, etc. :-) I've participated in a number of these reading challenges before, and they're meant just for fun.

Hah! I started re-reading these in July or so...I'm busy with school but I JUST finished Echo in the Bone (first time reading!) a few weeks ago.

I'm all too happy to start again!

Sincerely, an addict.

Welcome to the club (of OUTLANDER-addicts, that is!) I'm glad this challenge came along at a convenient time for you!

You'll be amazed at the number of things you pick up on re-reading, that you never would have noticed the first time, no matter how slowly or how carefully you read.

I reread all seven from October 2009 to April 2010. Not sure I'm ready to start again. But I will reread them all again before the next installment releases!
