[Sandra]

Will someone just tell me that in the end of it all, Claire will end up with Jamie?? Please! I know there is a lot of heartbreak - already has been - but in the end, I need a hea.

[Jonetta]

(view spoiler)[yes. I needed to know this, too. (hide spoiler)]

[Sandra]

Thanks.

[Dawn]

In this book or in the future?

[Sandra]

How about both!?

I do hope the television series includes the drunk Jamie scene when they do Dragonfly! lol

[Dawn]

testing my memory of spoiler before i answer
(view spoiler)[ test <\spoiler> (hide spoiler)]

[Dawn]

Whew. I need to use that more often lol

(view spoiler)[ This book, no. Voyager and forward, yes <\spoiler> (hide spoiler)]

[Sandra]

Thank you. Good to know. But the series is still ongoing, right? As in she's writing another one?

[Dawn]

Yes. She said there will be a book 9. She has not given anything else away about it. There is a lot of talk about Jamie's ghost, because she said it would be explained in the last book. People got upset because it wasn't in Written in My Own Heart 's Blood. But this is not the last book. You must listen to the rest of Dragonfly for me to say more though. :)

[Sandra]

I'm listening to it as fast as I can! lol I'll let you know when I finish.

[Dawn]

Lol, well you are ahead of the BR schedule.

[Sandra]

I can't wait but I'll drop back & discuss! :)

(view spoiler)[Do we learn what Jamie did for those 20 years Claire is gone? (hide spoiler)]

[Jonetta]

(view spoiler)[Very much so (hide spoiler)]

I have faith DG will give us a HEA:)

Guys this is another issue but I was always skeptical about audiobooks, do you recommend for OUtlander ? and which version ? I always worry about not getting the whole emotional package:)

will the 9th book be the last?
you mean the ghost under her window at the beginning of book 1 right?

[Karen ♐]

Started listening to Dragonfly today. The narrator is unbelievable. Hope I can read/listen to this one slowly.

[Dawn]

I am hoping it isn't the last. But yes i am talking about the ghost looking up at the window. Funny thing is, I had to go back and listen to that section of the book after the tv show because I missed it numerous listens. All DG has said is there will be a book 9. Nothing about more than that. She also said she will write a book about Master Raymond.

[Dawn]

Good luck with that Karen. I told myself I would listen to Written in My Own Hearts Blood slow and I was done in a couple days. And yes, Davina Porter narrating this series is fantastic. She makes you feel the character

[Ness]

could you post the link for the audiobook?:) thanks!

Ness, I love the audio version of this series. Davina Porter is awesome narrating. If I'm where I can, I'm listening to this series. I switch to ebook when I can't listen for some reason.

[Jonetta]

This series is one of the best narrations I've ever listened to...definitely in my top 5.

[Karen ♐]

Ness, I got it on Audible.com.

[Jonetta]

Ness wrote: "could you post the link for the audiobook?:) thanks!"

Ness, which book are you interested in, the second one?

[Dawn]

I bought it from Audible.com and I think it is on sale right now. But you are in Germany right? Not sure how that works in Europe

(view spoiler)[and I assume he wasn't celibate all those years!? I have seen discussions of him having an illegitimate son that he doesn't want to have to battle?? As you can tell, spoilers don't really bother me in something like this..I'm in for the long haul anyway. (hide spoiler)]

In Dragonfly Dawn, I'll try and see ho it goes:)
Audio is really praticale I think for the times you are doing sth and can't read:9

[Dawn]

Oh it would take me much longer if I was just reading.

[Dawn]

So...oh wow! Facebook just out out that DG is having a cameo in this weeks episode on Starz. She looked pretty good in period dress.

[Sandra]

Oh wow! I'm not on Facebook so I don't see any of that stuff. Awesome. I bet that was fun!

[Dawn]

I will have to watch really hard for her. It is a cameo, but hoping it is more than a face in the crowd.

[Ness]

she'll apear in the role of Iona Mctavish:)
here she is Sandra

[Jonetta]

Thanks, Ness!

[Sandra]

Thanks, Ness! For this photo & the above link...it is hilarious! My hubby is bad to talk during shows also...but maybe not quite that much! lol

[Karen ♐]

Loved the link...I have one of those husbands that doesn't talk at all while watching a show...I think I'm grateful for that...lol

[Sandra]

You should be grateful, Karen! haha I am so glued to Outlander when it's on, I think I probably snarl at my hubby when he opens his mouth! lol Actually, I ignore him until it goes off.

[Karen ♐]

Lol. If he wants to talk to ask a question, he pauses it first. Cracks me up.

[Sandra]

I'd probably lunge at him to get the remote!

[Jonetta]

My hubby is a quiet one, too.

[Dawn]

Okay...i think episode 4 is my favorite so far. Even the stuff they added that was not in the book was great

[Karen ♐]

Oh, and the Rents episode is next...love this show!

[Jonetta]

Loved it. It had a bit of everything in it. Nice that Gabaldon's part was a bit campy.

[Dawn]

I loves Mrs Fitz's comment to her. Made me laugh out loud.

[Jonetta]

Same here:)

I don't remember the boar scene. What things were added in?

[Dawn]

The boar scene was in the book and was almost exactly the same.

[Dawn]

Lets see...Laoghaire never asks for a love potion in the book. There were some things in the wrong order, like the assault and pass with Dougal happened after the oath taking. Claire did not drug anyone in the book, but damn that was a funny scene. And the whole love potion scene had me snorting. Click your heels three times and say There is no place like love. Lmao

[Dawn]

I thought it was interesting about the opening song to the series. DG was replying to someone on FB (and how cool is that?) about it. It is a Scottish folk song about Prince Charlie escaping to Skye dressed as a ladies maid.

[Sandra]

I thought the boar scene was very well done - very realistic with the bleed out, etc., and am glad they followed the book on that one. I actually wasn't a fan of the love potion thing...probably just me being picky because it's not in the book. haha

Very cool about the song...it sticks in my head.
