May Poll
The new poll for May is about Diana Gabaldon's latest Lord John story, "The Custom of the Army". I'm really curious to see how many of you have read it, and what you thought of it. Please take a moment to vote in the poll. Thanks!
About the poll for Custom,
Oh my, I couldn't decide between loving it, wanting it to be longer and/or liking the way the story gave fill-in information. I guess that amounts to loving it.
I can't wait for the Scottish Prisoner. In the meantime I am just enjoying rereading; the audios done by Jeff are a delight. I would love one done by him for Custom as well.
I wanted to enter two answers on the poll - both I loved it and I enjoyed seeing Lord John in Quebec. So exciting to picture him where I am...
Yeah, I guess I should have realized that people would want to choose more than one option. Too late now, I guess. <wry g>
Deniz, you were the one I was thinking of when I added the answer about Quebec. :-)
Thanks for voting, anyway.
