I just stumbled across your blog...Holy Cow Bells... I just stumbled across your blog and it's HI-sterical. And, I too am glad the story didn't play out as you speculated with Jamie and Mary Hawkins. Did NOT even consider that, but that could have just been too weird in the time continuum sort of way...a spiraling thought process.Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17366021617141575219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2193939705192575193.post-20823025738769117202013-02-28T22:35:19.841-05:002013-02-28T22:35:19.841-05:00JENNY!

You do not want one spoiler from here forward. Seriously. Be careful, OK? Tracey (my sister) saw the most horrific spoiler a few books down the road and was really devastated when she got to that part of the book. Just follow my spoiler alerts and you should be OK. And then come back and read the comments when you've finished the series. (I finished Sons of Anarchy a few weeks ago and I've been googling like a freakkkkkkkkkk!) <br /><br />Keep us posted and let us know when you start reading Voyager!! It's Tracey's favorite! And we love watching reactions from new readers!! I can live vicariously through you! :)Purgatory Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04206226666250028550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2193939705192575193.post-88589591769073415612013-02-04T22:44:23.390-05:002013-02-04T22:44:23.390-05:00I normally hate spoilers, but I am so glad for the...I normally hate spoilers, but I am so glad for the comment from Terri above that things did NOT end up the way you had imagined. For real. Jamie is OFF FREAKING LIMITS to anyone except Claire (But don't tell me if it happens. I am in nursing school and MUST take a few weeks off from reading. And I am hanging on the edge of going and buying Voyager tomorrow. Self control.

I have read all of this series several times and am now listening on audio. My favortie books of all time. I miss Jamie and Claire when I am not reading or hearing about them.

I suppose I should have used the word "feeling"; my bad. <br /><br />COMMA HOWEVER..."Anonymous" - let me tell ya - there are a TON of blogs out there that would have deleted your comment in a nano-second because you had a pretty nasty attitude and didn't have the guts to sign your name to it. <br /><br />I didn't do that this time - but I will if it continues. Be warned. <br /><br />And PS - I feel sorry for you that you're that snotty about literature that you can't just enjoy a good story for what it is. I would never compare Stephenie Meyer's writing style to Diana Gabaldon's. Hell, I don't think Stephenie Meyer would dare compare the two. But if you're going to tell me SM didn't have a fantastic story to tell, I've got a few box office records and Best Seller lists that will prove you wrong.Purgatory Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04206226666250028550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2193939705192575193.post-41264483898907107672011-12-10T23:01:00.342-05:002011-12-10T23:01:00.342-05:00Ooooooooooooooo, Anonymous,

Same here!! Twilight totally got me back into reading. I'm still so obsessed. Carol suggested I read, "Midnight Sun" by SM. OMIGOSH. I LOVED IT. Oh, and Vampire Diaries? My hubby and I are HOOKED------again, thanks to Carol. <br /><br />As for comparing books, I do that constantly. I have my faves, and that's ok...........right? I personally don't find it offensive when other people compare books. I just love discussing books in a fun, non-judgemental forum. And discussing them, and discussing them, and discussing them. <br /><br />DG's books are in a league of their own. ITA. I don't even describe Outlander to people. I just say, "Read it. Trust me. READ IT NOW."<br /><br />Carol,<br />I got all teary when I was reading your blog post again. I love the way you write so honestly about your feelings. Especially, your "Downtown Nat" post. OMIGOSH.

I get it. I really liked it. When I read it, I was hooked and I credit it for getting me back into reading. <br /><br />There are books that I have not enjoyed but I'd never intentionally try to make others feel bad for liking a book that I didn't like.Hildyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13139015699969393234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2193939705192575193.post-18822173574751820922011-12-10T16:03:53.099-05:002011-12-10T16:03:53.099-05:00Oh, my, gods.... you DID NOT just compare that tri...Oh, my, gods.... you DID NOT just compare that tripe Twilight with Diana Gabaldon's masterpiece. Seriously?! Might as well compare "Sweet Valley High" with "Wuthering Heights". I'm so absolutely insulted on the part of Gabaldon's works.<br /><br />Edward and Bella = need to die slowly in a flaming bus crash. Edward is evil, stupid, whiny, and he GLITTERS IN THE FUN FOR FEXAKE. Bella is whiny, spoiled, bratty, and has no charm whatsoever. I'm not seeing any connection between the two.<br /><br />Please, please, take it back, on behalf of all adults everywhere who don't find whiny teenagers to be titillating.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2193939705192575193.post-40425075163496772512010-01-17T20:52:42.619-05:002010-01-17T20:52:42.619-05:00TWO BEST BOOK SERIES EVER EVER EVER in the world.TWO BEST BOOK SERIES EVER EVER EVER in the world.Roberta L.http://twitter.com/rlipke02noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2193939705192575193.post-15947772985405844702009-12-02T13:43:35.686-05:002009-12-02T13:43:35.686-05:00I did!
