So this week and next week I'm participating in the #tometopplereadathon which is being hosted by the booktube Sam @ Thoughts on Tomes. It's a readathon where we actually focus on reading big books (500 pages or more). This week I want to make a dent in my reading of Dragonfly in Amber by Diana and yes I say dent and not finish because honestly I don't see myself finishing this book in two weeks. I started it last year and I must admit it's definitely slower than the first book and contains a lot more politics. It's not a bad book, but I definitely think I need to move slow and ease my way into it.

Let me know what you guys are reading this Friday!

For nearly twenty years Claire Randall has kept her secrets. But now she is returning with her grown daughter to Scotland’s majestic mist-shrouded hills. Here Claire plans to reveal a truth as stunning as the events that gave it birth: about the mystery of an ancient circle of standing stones... about a love that transcends the boundaries of time... and about Jamie Fraser, a Scottish warrior whose gallantry once drew a young Claire from the security of her century to the dangers of his.

Now a legacy of blood and desire will test her beautiful copper-haired daughter, Brianna, as Claire’s spellbinding journey of self-discovery continues in the intrigue-ridden Paris court of Charles Stuart... in a race to thwart a doomed Highlands uprising... and in a desperate fight to save both the child and the man she loves.
