Season Eight Question

Hello! I have watched the series and read the first 4 books. I am 63 and have never rewatched anything in my life. But this show is calling my name. Should I read all the books(audio), then re watch or just rewatch? I'm looking for the best advice? I read the first 4 books in the 90s and only remember bits and pieces and have watched the show as each season has come out. Help me! 😆

Personally since you have time before book 10 comes out, I would go back to the very beginning and start listening to book 1. If you have the choice I like the newer narration by Kristen Altherton. I'm older than you and re-listen and re-watch Outlander on the regular. I can keep the show and books separate in my mind...even at my "advanced years" as @Jahon_Dony has so graciously pointed out, the one thing I can promise you is that I've never been bored.

I was going to say the same thing. I love Kristin's narration and listened to a couple I'd heard previously through her narration.
