I don't recall Frank pushing Claire into botony. <br />I really enjoy her take on the books. <br />@Jennifer - I'm curious to see in book 8 if Jenny doesn't shape up to Clair. It is depressing how she turned her back on her.<br />I've just got my daughter started reading the series, she's just into Voyager. EVERYDAY I call and ask her where she's at, what she thinks. I really have to stop asking every day.

I do know that she does not care for Frank and didn't from the start. We didn't talk about Jenny but should have. <br /><br />She was so excited about her interview and even more excited to see the finished video. She said when she starts her rereads that it would be good to skype after each book.

AH thinks Claire dinna have a direction in her life before going through the stones. That Claire didn't appear to have to a thought of her own and if it hadn't been for Frank pushing her into botany she wouldn't have had the skills she needed make her way in the 1700's. AND if Frank hadn't pushed her into going up to the stones for the forget-me-nots she wouldn't have found her Jamie.<br /><br />AH says she is going to start her rekilting of the books and she has told her son that she wants skype. Maybe we can all check in more often :)<br /><br />LMAO, she is sitting here writing dialog for Jamie at the end of Echo, "Why? You couldn't have me so you took my wife?<br /><br />I so wish I had the skype camera on right now cuz she has been talking about the books or 20 min!Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17683309980561421282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2193939705192575193.post-24557206584037834752011-06-18T23:05:59.729-04:002011-06-18T23:05:59.729-04:00Hildy,

I was soooo excited to talk to her about it. The first thing I asked was, "How did you like Jamie?" Her response: "Who's Jamie?" Needless to say, Mom and I have had no further chats about the Outlander series. I'll check in with Aunt Helen instead. :)Hildyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13139015699969393234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2193939705192575193.post-68173284573460558982011-06-18T21:34:21.446-04:002011-06-18T21:34:21.446-04:00Jennier,

She said she would have to think about grandchildren but it would be a hard decision.<br /><br />Clay,<br />Aunt Helen's husband is no longer with us.<br /><br />She said Outlander is not the kind of book she usually reads. She usually reads nonfiction either history or science. She really likes books about space. She also likes biographies. When she reads fiction she likes mysteries and some science fiction if it is believable - like Outlander.<br /><br />She most related to the parts of the books at Fraser's Ridge. She said she knew a lot about the history of that area and she remembers when the local people spoke with more of a Scottish influence.<br /><br />She just asked if I thought if J and C would ever go back to the Ridge - she doesn't think so because of the war.<br /><br />Several times tonight she said how fun the interview was. I think she is lonesome for people to talk to about books.Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17683309980561421282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2193939705192575193.post-16042452901411570142011-06-18T18:18:48.698-04:002011-06-18T18:18:48.698-04:00We loved Aunt Helen too!!

Would she have liked it 50 years ago?<br />- Who does she relate with most in teh books?<br />-Claynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2193939705192575193.post-53804673828022799852011-06-18T17:23:04.424-04:002011-06-18T17:23:04.424-04:00That was so much fun!
