Is this the first time you've read DIA? In which case, yes I get it; and when I think of it? Hmmmm? *thinking*....I agree; there is a lot of information which in the grand scale of things does little for plot momentum. But it does everything for building up the fabric/foundation of their relationship. Which, when you move on to the later part of the book and then Voyager,the solidity of their relationship is needed to makes the rest (6 books) believable. I better postscript all this by saying:- IMO! 

Yes the first time I have read the books. The TV series correction, Jamie sent me there.

I have the audio book for Outlander but I didn't get very far with it (10 minutes) as I didn't like Davina Porter's voice and she does ALL the parts! So no Jamie's voice I'm afraid...

That sucks because the JPOV. *thrusts hips*

The wordiness is ruining it for me.

 
I  might have exaggerated, but just a little. IT TAKES FOREVER to get somewhere. Maybe I am just toooo hyper for these books, but there are so many things I adore of Jamie, but getting to his good parts take to long (pun intended). ..... Of course you all know that visuals were always my thing and the TV helped.

Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.

I agree. For what it's worth on Twitter she mentioned that Pound of Flesh is the only thing she is publishing, but I bet it's strictly a PR move.

I totally agree.

RDM I FLOVE your sig, Oliver McQueen

I tried tapatalk once. Not really fond of it. So I just used safari when i was on my ipad. You gotta realize I am on the computer for many many hrs a day. At night I like my ipad and read.

I love Davina Porter.  I'm 'reading' another series - The Sunday Philosophy Club by Alexander McCall Smith - and Davina Porter is the narrator on those, as well.  It throws me just a little because the love interest is named Jamie in these books, as well.  So the same inflection saying "Jamie" gives me pause every once in a while.

Porter's voice sounds too 'old' for Claire she's very matrony....Outlander is the only book I've ever heard via audio book and I have to say I'm not that keen to repeat the experience, not sure why.....

First off Ladies - I hope everyone's Christmas and New Year are going well !
Let's catch you up as to my 2014 year.

I am trying to get back into the swing of things. I promise. Most of you remember my youngest son (20) was in a terrible car accident and hospitalized for almost a month and then we had rehab. I am glad to tell you he is back at the university and walking without an aid of a wheelchair, walker, or cane.

Oldest son joined the military after he graduated college and he completed his training in the military and has moved completely away. *pouts*

Then came the busy holiday time.

I started have pains around November and after investigation it was my gallbladder. I had that sucker removed 2 weeks ago.

Hubs and I celebrated New Years at home with one wish. It was better than 2014.

I so missed talking with everyone. I missed what to read next....... I want a gooooood outlander fic/book. The show sucked me right in, but the books......just not my cup of tea. They are wordy. I mean 50-100 chp on stuff that doesn't move the plot.

What new fics out there to read....etc.

I am having withdrawals !

BTW: Booked can you do that great summary thing to catch me up on what I have missed?

hmmmm all my pics are gone in my siggy.

Great to see you back RD!

So happy to hear your son fully recovered. Also pray your older son continue to be safe and you get well soon.

Hard for me to do summaries now as the girls here talk about so many different wonderful things! 

Well, the things that come to the top of my mind are:

- we've been missing some "old timers" like you (i don't mean the age!) but we have gained new friends as well.
- Loppy is up to her usual exciting antics (don't we all just love living vicariously through her! )
- Ella under went major surgery in Nov. But she is thankfully doing well and still an awesome fic sharer and IT guru
- we have quite a mixture of angst hoors and fluff readers.it has been great getting all the recs and comments on what people have read. Commonly discussed were the Outlander and In death series. Us fluff and bodice rippers have convinced some to read Judih McNaught's Whitney, My Love (historical) and Paradise (contemporary)
- a few of us are having a hard time finding good twific. Some twifics updated after years of silence (hooray!). A lot still wait for an ff to finish before starting it. Many have resorted to ff,book, ff reading patterns to keep the interest alive. Others also rec some other Ff (harry potter, teen wolf, indeath etc).
- mixed feelings about the FSOG movie: don't like the girl, love the boy. Still, they will watch the movie (whether they will pay to go see it or wait for the pirated version  )
- as you can see by the sigs, rob is still our man with fassbender being hogged by demaris (mrs. Fassy to you!) overall, we'd grab any excuse to see ripped male bodies and put them on here.
- a few here are blessed with hung better halves  Most notable is demaris who now has a boyfriend with a Prince Albert. she hasn't shared too much details, despite our constant begging, moreso after they became a couple, but we're just happy she's happy and have promised not to bug her about it.
- waxing was also discussed and apparently it is a must if you are with a guy with a PA. Life lessons we gals should know, just in case !

Am sure the girls will fill you in. Oh, we do have 1 poor male in our midst, dasbaiyo. 

Are you in Manilla? My niece and her husband live there! 

Yup, i live in Manila! Cool you have relatives here. Are you/they of filipino descent or they're american expats? If you haven't been, do visit them here! Hope they are having a great time living here.

If any of you gals plan to visit Manila, let me know. I would be happy to take you out to dinner and drinks! I can afford McDonald's LOL!

Great to see you back RD!

So happy to hear your son fully recovered. Also pray your older son continue to be safe and you get well soon.

- Yes I am like the grandmother around here.
- Loved hearing about Loopy adventures.
- Hope Ella is ok !
- I am now hooked on Outlander, but have no clue what In Death is.
- Twific and books, yup I still do both.
- Dragging hubs on a double date to FSOG. I expect action afterward.  
   I only read it as a wip as well as the girl on our double date.
- Demaris + PA = Shazzam ! That would scare me to death cause um...yea...there is nooooo extra room down there. U guys remember I have only had c-sections and ummm well I'm not sure I could take more that what he already provides.  But I got a great chuckle as to why her honeypot needs to be clean. Ooouch.
- I see a few names that are new. I even got a good laugh imagining the guy when he first appeared and we asked his bra size. LOL.  *whispers but we do need your shoe size*. To be sure he has figured out we are not bashful around here and no subject is protected?

Ok I am trying this tapatalk again. Where the hell are the smilies?.
