She said we'll find out about the ghost at the end of the series.
Ah, the ghost. Theories abound. I have a few myself, but most are my desperate attempts to get an answer, any answer, to WHAT IS UP WITH THE GHOST?!?!Similarly, the whole journey through the stones the first time... What was the "anchor", as described later, for Claire the first time? That is, she describes finding a point to fix her mind on to guide her through in subsequent "trips", as when Master Raymond had her "fix her thoughts" on Jaime when he healed her. Could the ghost have been that thing?
Hmm, interesting. Well I always thought (and I've wondered that too) if the DNA tie between Frank and BJR had something to do with Claire's anchor. As we all know, (view spoiler). However, the likeness between them was SOO similar that there was almost a 'doppleganger' scenerio going on. As Claire was flying back through the Stones she had called out to Frank in her mind, if I'm not mistaken (I don't have the book with me, but I remember this), so maybe as the stones were hurling her back through time she was pulled to that date and that year because BJR was so close and he shared such a similar biology to Frank.
That would not only explain the anchor, but also the coincedence of landing in a time where BJR existed.
Maybe it was a bit of both.
I wonder how they are gonna make the Guy who plays Jamie look sexy with red hair?
Weeell... I doubt they'll slap on a Ronald McDonald Clown College shade.
Hahaha!! Yeah, I have a feeling Sam's going to look smokin' hot with Jamie's beautiful red hair. But that's just me :)
Sexy men can totally pull off red hair. I have absolutely no doubt that Sam will be grogeous.
Sam is gorgeous without the red hair...red hair will just be a bonus
Check Sam's or DG twitter or their facebook...both have a photo of him with red hair...he did it for a commercial. Also there is a really great one with long red hair that may have been photo shopped. No worries with Sam pulling off ginger...
Have been gone most of the weekend but just wanted to pop in to say that Lisa and I got together for lunch and browsing used bookstore on Friday. Was so fun! She is such a sweetie! She and her hubby were flying back home today so she will probably check in here when she gets a chance. She had a difficult time accessing Goodreads from their laptop at the hotel.
Oh, how exciting! I love when GR friends get together in real life!
So cool!! Did you guys take pictures?

I think her point of reference for that time period she ended up in when she went through the stones the first time was her interest in the flora and fona (sp) of Scotland/England and their uses for healing. That was generally thought to be, and is still thought to be, old fashioned. However it might have been enough for a reference point as that way of healing was the hit then. Just my thoughts :D

Not sure as I have not looked closely at pictures of Sam but he might be able to pull it off with make up and what not :D we shall see.
I think it depends, honestly. I've seen ruddy toned brunettes and blondes. They haven't really let me down yet, so I have a feeling it'll look great.
I'm pretty sure since Diana said Sam was Jamie when she saw his audition that he'll be able to pull it off...
All I know is I am excited and disappointed at the same time. I have to wait until it comes out on DVD (i really hope it does) because we dont have Starz here in Germany.
there might be a STARZ affiliate in Germany...I don't know...STARZ doesn't exist in Canada or England, but there are channels that cover STARZ stuff
Thought it may be of interest to some here that some of the lost Dr Who episodes have been found. They feature Frazer Hines as Jamie the assistant who inspired DG for her Jamie. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainme...
Hello everyone! I have been a member of the group for a while, but have not been active. I decided to browse around today, and am very excited about the Jamie Challenge. Even though I am seeing it just now, I am going to try to participate since I have already read 51 books this year and I am sure I can make most of them fit into the challenge. Could you tell me, do you have a cheat sheet for all the html codes that people use when posting their lists? I see people who use their book titles as links to the books, have pictures of the books they read, and bold the letter they used for the challenge, but I have no idea how to do any of that.
Thanks in advance and I hope to be a more active member!
We have a how to thread that shows you how to do most of that. Also by clicking on (some HTML is ok) on the top right of the comment box, there are short cuts. I'm typing this on my phone so if you need more help I can show you a few in a bit.
Great, thank you! I figured that the group did, I will go on the hunt and see if I can find it.
Yeah, there are a lot of threads it gets confusing, glad you found it!
"Reign" tonight on the CW. Story of Mary Queen of Scots.
I am curious about that one.
Is that a show or series? I haven't seen it at all. Off to check it out.
Series. Was reading some reviews. Sounds like its going to be a bit racy. Don't want to watch with the kids....

Well, fell asleep while watching "Reign" last night and didn't have it set to record so will try again next week :D
That's ok Peggy. It was.... Ok. Will give it another episode. Has anyone here watched Brew Dogs?? Two Scotsman specializing in creating different flavored brews. They're hilarious plus listening to their accents is fuuunnnn! I'm watching an episode where they are trying to create a highly caffeinated beer?!?!

I wish I had the channel Reign comes on! I want to watch it too :)
I can't wait until the weekend! I am gonna finish decorating for fall and bake cookies for my little brother (who is 19 lol) and his roommates. Can't wait! I might even fire up the fire pit and make snores :)
Have you ever made s'mores with Reece's peanut butter cups instead of just plain Hershey's? They are to die for!
omg no but I am a Reese's cup addict. I will soooo try that out! Thank you! :)
Vanessa wrote: "omg no but I am a Reese's cup addict. I will soooo try that out! Thank you! :)"No problem! Had them the first time this summer and fell in love! I am a Reese's addict as well lol
Katie that's what we do... Reese's are the best. You can also use the Grasshopper cookies instead. It's so good!
Hi! I'm new... I'm in the beginning stages of Dragonfly in Amber and I'm here for support. I suffer from sever anxiety due to these books.... anyone else feel the same? I LOVE to read and I adore historical fiction but I'm having a love affair with these books that I've never had before and it's freaking me out. Truth be told I didn't even like Outlander until about a quarter of the way in... and now I'm hooked. It's all I think about - and when it's mentioned or when I come across some info online, I feel like my chest is about to burst. Has anyone else found that these books completely disrupt your life? Please tell me I'm not alone in this...... I feel on the edge of "happy, sad, anxious, angry, happy again" tears ALL THE TIME.
Welcome to our club Hun! The feelings will only grow.
Allison if you have Facebook we all seem to agree this pretty much sums it all up... https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fb...

Allison, you are not alone! I just discovered the books this spring and have already read them all, read all of the side novels/novellas and am rereading the series again! I'm completely obsessed with the characters, think about the story all of the time and have built a Pinterest page devoted to all things Outlander! It only gets worse as you continue to read. I've never been addicted to or obsessed with anything in my life, but these books have taken me over. I even wear Claire's wedding ring now and have "liked" just about every FB page devoted to Outlander. If only I could get some of my friends to read the books so that I could talk about them with actual humans instead of only online! I thought that I was a bit crazy so I'm happy to hear that I am not alone. :-)
Joanna - we are "actual humans" :) but I know what you mean this series is the best but so many people find the sheer volume to be daunting. I did get my hubby to read Outlander though - that was great!
Diane, good point! I just meant that I wish I had face-to-face people to talk to about it. :-) I can't imagine my husband ever reading the books. That would be excellent.
