Melanie Looking for my next read. I thought I'd turn to your bookshelf for inspiration. Found "Thorn Birds", in it's way a pre-curser to my reading of "Outlander". It was my first adult type novel at age 12. I remember little of it other than my love of the historical aspects. Seven years later I discovered Claire and Jamie who are now my favourite characters. Thank you for sharing such gifts of joy as your books have been to an avid reader!

:-) :-(:-D"



Dear Agnes--

I suppose it would depend where you bought it, and in what format. You can check amazon.com for pricing, generally.

Dianne Nunn I, too, was entranced by Thorn Birds. Your Outlanddr Series,literally changed my life. It inspired me to search our family,s alleged Scottish heritage. Your books also entered my life at a very difficult time. Books have always been my escape, and I owe my sanity to this series. I have one request. Please, write faster!

Tracy I just wanted to let you know I am totally in love with your Outlander books. Just finished the eighth one and I must say you left me hanging. I can't wait until # 9 to find out what happens to Roger and Brianna. Thank you for such great books.

DeLetta Any woman who has been pregnant knows how the hormones can run rampant at times. In 1988 it just so happened that I was obsessed with the Thornbird series, and that is how my daughter Meghan came to be named. Until recently, Meghan with an "h" was so rare that she never had bike license plates, toothbrushes, key chains and other nik- naks. I had to custom make her 'treasures'.! However, I have no regrets. She is as beautiful as her name


message 43: by Gretchen A. King (new)

Gretchen A. King Me McCullough's Thorn Birds was great light reading. Very enjoyable. Her "Rome" series was harder reading but one of the best things ever written I thought. The "Outlander" series was in the middle in terms of difficulty but it is my all time favorite read.The characters feel like friends after only the first volume. My copies are ready for replacement.


message 44: by Peggi (new)

Peggi Nunley thornbirds was and remains a favorite behind the Outlander series
