Outlander Series

[Starlight]

Did you get round to these hh

 

[Happy Holidays]

Yes, i'm just finishing Voyager & loving them all; i like it that each book has its own individual story, whilst keeping the overall storyline going. I'm on holiday the mo & managing to do a fair amount of reading

 

[Happy Holidays]

I've just finished Drums of Autumn & whilst on wikipedia looking to see what was the next in the series I noticed Diana Gabaldon has also written a series about Lord John, have you read those books?

 

[Starlight]

I havent read them, they get great reviews from fans but they just dont hold the same interest for me, its Jamie & Claire I want to read about

 

[Happy Holidays]

That's what I thought, maybe when I've finished the whole series I may give them a go. I've just finished Drums of Autumn & enjoyed it but not as much as the others.

 

[Starlight]

How are you getting on with the books x

 

[Happy Holidays]

Still loving the books, I'm on The Fiery Cross & nearly finished it, I've about 300 pages left (crikey that in itself is a whole book!!!) I think there is just two left in the series. I need to get on reading this one as I'm off on hols on 29th March & I really don't want to take a book with just a few pages left to read, so I need to find more time to read, which is going to be hard as I've a lot of birthdays/wedding/retirement do to go on

For my birthday my sister bought me the Lord John series, which I'm looking forward to reading next, I'm not going to read them alongside the Outlander series, don't really fancy doing that.

 

[Starlight]

I haven't read The Lord John books. Will be interested to hear your thoughts. Can't wait for book 8 to come out x

 

[Happy Holidays]

I've just finished The Fiery Cross, I like it that she adds just a little teaser on the last few pages, it also gets you wondering about who really is Jemmy's father..............

 

[Happy Holidays]

I'm on the last book now, I'm desperate to finish it & see how it all ends, I must admit though I'm not particularly enjoying the sections with William in them, I just wonder where it's all going.

I've got Terry Pratchett to read next then I'll be on the Lord John series, I do like him, Lord John I mean!

 

[Starlight]

I felt there was too much about William in it. Hoping the next book is back to Claire and Jamie etc

 

[Happy Holidays]

Me too.

 

[noki]

Ohh I love this series, only read the first 3 parts and nvr read the others...because I didnt want to finish the series ( haha yes I know; I am daft) now its been so long ago I read the first ones that I will have to re-read them all to get all the names and connections right
Note to self: dig up part one lol x

 

[Starlight]

Not sure i fancy the series they're making tho

Can't imagine it on telly

 

[noki]

Wonder what has changed for the writer. She nvr sold the rights to make it onto the screen because she couldnt imagine who would be the perfect Jamie..
Agree with you, Star dont know if I am liking it either

 

[Starlight]

Would it be cynical to say $$$$

So far starz have committed to a 16 part series. If it takes off how many others might there be?

Opening outlander to a whole new audience, rise in book sales, introduction of merchandise

If its done well it could be a license to print money

 

[Starlight]

See theyve started the casting

Jamie was announced today

 

[Happy Holidays]

Oh who's got that role then?

 

[Starlight]

Sam Heughan

Scottish actor ~ thank God

Apparently when Diana Gabaldon saw his audition scenes she knew there was noone else for the part

 

[Happy Holidays]

Whoa, just googled him, very nice eye candy, thank goodness for a scottish actor, nothing worse that somebody doing a bad accent.
