"Hurt" by Christina Aquilera. This song makes me think of Jamie, digging Beardsley's grave and thinking about his father... but it also makes me think about Jenny, thinking of Jamie and writing him the letter after finally forgiving him for allowing Ian to become a Mohawk. Ugh. So poignant.

"I Will Follow You Into The Dark"  - Jamie telling Claire that even death will never part them.
"Run" - This song just makes me think of Jamie and Claire knowing they might part.. and feeling the impending doom regarding their possible death by fire at the Big House.

I couldna help it, Sassenach

I was happy waxing on about the Twilight series... and then my sister Tracey made me read "Outlander". Saying she "made" me read it is an understatement. She practically sat on my chest like Claire sat on Jamie's when she first met him and was addressing his wounds. And believe me, I would have been wounded had I not read the book. So I gave in and read it... and now I am OBSESSED. And it's all Tracey's fault. So - just like Twilight - I am going to blog as I read. I am currently reading "Dragonfly in Amber". And - as many of you - I have been scratching my head since page one. Oh - and crying. There has been lots and lots of crying early on in the book. But I got over it - and now I'm just enjoying Jamie and Claire...
