So on to MOBY. The one great thing about reading this series so late in the game is being able to just buy the next book. Until, of course, I am finished with MOBY and then I will be in serious droughtlander. Maybe the Lord John books next. And some of the other novellas if I can find them. Would it be worth it to buy Outlandish Companion at this stage? <br />Oh and I agree about the Kindle. Now I want to go back and buy the books so I can find things I know happened but can't remember where. Or which book.

I was going to comment on the Jamie and Lord John chapter but am glad I didn't since you haven't read it yet. <br /><br /> I haven't been this caught up in a series in a long time. I stumbled onto them looking for a new author to read. I had never heard of them before. I was ecstatic when I found out about the TV series.

When I finished Echo I was deligted to find the first seven chapters of Written In My Own Hearts Blood (I have a Nook). Of course I read them! Who could resist? I also found some videos on line of DG reading excerpts from other chapters! My question is will there blogs or videos on these or are you waiting for the book publication?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00750239619279433179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2193939705192575193.post-29813424780555314622013-11-15T13:29:36.615-05:002013-11-15T13:29:36.615-05:00Carol, I just started the first book, Naked in Dea...Carol, I just started the first book, Naked in Death!

I'm listening to them on CD (Davina Porter) and I find I catch so much more than if I actually re-read them; I'm working on Drums at the moment. Echo is one I will definitely look forward to hearing; I have a hunch I missed a lot, especially in the sections about William. Not sure the John/Claire bedroom stuff was all that believable - especially at her age which was like what - 61 or 62? But a wild ending, that's for sure. Can't wait for the next one. Guess I'll start Prisoner since the blog has started! :)Juliazunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04065771271176209661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2193939705192575193.post-39625772299485566732011-09-13T13:57:19.719-04:002011-09-13T13:57:19.719-04:00Carol (hi from another Jerseyite!

Jerseyan?), Tracy, all: I came late to the Outlander series, as I did to Twilight (but seriously. how great is it to not have to wait a few years for the next book to come out, a-la Harry Potter!) I've LOVED all of the great reviews, comments, and craziness here! I just finished my second read-through of the series, and geesh, I'm going through Outlander withdrawal yet again! I may start my third read-through, just to ease the pain a bit until Book 8 comes out. Heck, I read the Twilight Saga four times straight through, and had no desire, need, or even the heart to start another book or series! At least I have this great site to keep me going. I just caught up with all of Carol's hilarious reviews, and just had to add my two cents.<br /><br />So many great things in the series: Young Ian Murray (perhaps one of my all-time favorite characters in literature, ever). LOVE me some Roger Mac. Love the Hunters, esp Rachel (and her with Ian, swoon). Love Lizzie and the Beardsleys. What will happen with Jemmy! Love all the letters back and forth from J&C in the past to Bree & Rog at Lallybroch in the 70's. Love Lord John (darn it, I want a gay male bff). Love William. And of course, Himself and Herself, Jamie and Claire.Kat from Jerseynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2193939705192575193.post-40532724638755974442011-09-13T05:19:34.385-04:002011-09-13T05:19:34.385-04:00Hello peeps! :-) I finished Echo and understand th...Hello peeps! :-) I finished Echo and understand that until the next book comes out we are not really getting responses... but just wondering, because I haven't read anywhere, has anyone noticed all of the parallels between William and Jamie. ie. William was in a monastery, William got an axing on the back of his head, William has seasickness... Makes you think that perhaps DG will do this some more in the next book, however, I am quite through with the raping and hope William does not go through that although Randall-Isaacs is a bothering me a bit.

OKAY. <br />-50 pages until the end: OMG. HOLY CRAP. OMG. NO WAY.

I was shouting No No dont do it, you dont know where that P--- has been ewww! Diana didnt mention if he wore a condom.<br />-I am horrified for Jem, in the mining train in the dark heading for the rocks that could send him back in time and encase him in the stone forever??<br />Diana would never do that to Jem Im sure.<br />=being a nurse I love anytime Diana writes about Claires surdgeries or treatments, its fascinating.

I may even do a pre-showing before the premier if it works out with the Theatre this year. I have to say. I'm not impressed with the movies, but I do love Rob (not as much as Jamie though) hehe.
