Top Ten Tuesday is a meme hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl, featuring a different top 10 theme each week. This week’s topic is Books to Read If You Love/Loved X (X can be a genre, specific book, author, movie/TV show, etc.). I’m in the midst of an Outlander obsession at the moment, with the long-awaited book #9 coming out NEXT WEEK… so you’ll excuse me if this series is pretty much all that’s on my mind right now.
Here are 10 books I think Outlander fans should check out:
The Winter Sea by Susanna Kearsley
What’s the connection?
Set in Scotland, historical fiction, Jacobite uprising, time-slip romance (and really, can’t go wrong with any of this author’s books!)
Clanlands by Sam Heughan & Graham McTavish
What’s the connection?
Outlander stars (!!), fun facts about Scotland, lots of references to the creation and filming of the Outlander TV series
A Stitch in Time by Kelley Armstrong
What’s the connection?
A romance across time, time travel, lovers from different eras
A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness
What’s the connection:
Strong female lead character, male lead who seems too good to be true, time travel (in book #2), epic romance
Finding Fraser by KC Dyer
What’s the connection?
You literally could not be more connected to Outlander! A romantic adventure in which the main character heads to Scotland to find her very own Jamie Fraser.
Poldark series by Winston Graham
What’s the connection?
Historical fiction, time period overlaps somewhat with Outlander, gorgeous settings, heroic male lead, epic romance
The Bookshop on the Corner by Jenny Colgan
What’s the connection?
Set in the Scottish Highlands (and just a really enjoyable read)
On the Occasion of My Last Afternoon by Kaye Gibbons
What’s the connection?
Historical fiction, wartime medicine, women in medicine
Kate Shugak series by Dana Stabenow
What’s the connection:
Ongoing series with a remarkable, memorable woman as the lead character. Also, recommended by Diana Gabaldon via her Methadone List.
In Falling Snow by Mary-Rose MacColl
What’s the connection?
Women in medicine, wartime medicine, World War (although this is WWI, not Claire’s WWII)
Have you read any of these? Are there other books you’d recommend for people who love Outlander?

The Winter Sea sounds so good.
My post: https://lydiaschoch.com/top-ten-tuesday-books-to-read-if-you-love-hard-science-fiction/
I loved it! In fact, I just did a re-read, and it absolutely holds up. (I love everything I’ve read by this author).
Ooh I love Outlander, and never know what else to read, so this post is perfect!
I already own A Discovery of Witches, so that makes me more eager to pick it up!
I think you’ll really like it! And you can’t go wrong with anything by Susanna Kearsley.
Poldark and The Winter Sea is on my TBR! I like your spin today!
Happy TTT!
Ten Books to Read if you Love X
Thanks! I haven’t made it all the way through the Poldark series yet (I think I’m up to book #7), so I have more reading ahead of me. 🙂 The Winter Sea is terrific!
Discovery of Witches is a fab read!
I completely agree! I think I’m due for a re-read — it’s been a long time.
Fun TTT! I did love The Winter Sea, and The Bookshop on the Corner. But then any book set in Scotland sounds good to me. 🙂
That’s true for me as well. Now, if only I could go for a visit!
I love this list! I fell in love with Scotland when I visited there for the first time last month. I definitely want to read more books set there, so thanks for this fun list. I’ve read the first Outlander book and the Colgan one, but that’s it.
Happy TTT!

Oh wow, I’m completely jealous! Scotland is very high on my list of dream destinations. Some day! Since you love Scotland, do check out Susanna Kearsley’s books. They’re wonderful!
This is a great idea for a comparison! I can’t believe I haven’t read any of these books, though:-/
I’m obsessed right now, I admit it!!
I need to read these books. They all sound wonderful.

I haven’t read Poldark, but I did catch the first season of it which I really enjoyed.
The TV series really was lovely.

It’s got time travel and a haunted house! Two great elements 🙂
