How funny lj didn't let you edit the comment, it's been good for me recently (*touches much wood*)

So glad you finally found Outlander, and Lord John and the Private Matter. I've not read the latter one yet - but it's winging its way to me right now... *g* Outlander itself feels more historical than anything else to me (perhaps partly because even the "modern" part is set just post-WWII), but I suppose it technically is... well, no! Though it depends on your definition of sci-fi I guess. But actually I don't remember much science in the fiction at all, the time-travel comes from a stone circle, so it's more legend and mythology and fairy stories than science fiction... In which case maybe you could shoehorn it into RIP! *g*

Oh and yeay - for some reason I was thinking RIP was just for a month, but it's two! I've been looking forward to it, so I'm really pleased we can actually start in... a week's time! A week today! Hurrah! I also realised that of course I have more than one supernatural book on my shelves waiting to be read, so I'll definitely be able to leap in, without even the excuse of needing to buy another book. *g*

I have a half-memory of having read one of the Hornblower books already, and liking it very much. I know I bought one of the books in the series when I saw it secondhand a year or so ago, and I could have sworn I'd left it on my shelf until I had the first two, but... I'm not sure. So I may find that I've already read this one - or even that it turns out to be in my storage - but I'm fairly confident that I will like it - and hopefully the whole series...
