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!

First of all, Happy Birthday, Jamie!!!

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.

Happy birthday Jamie!
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...

ND and Deniz:

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.

I just finished it today. I felt a bit under the gun because it was a library book. It was interesting because of the Quebec angle, since I am Canadian. I'm not a history buff and it was interesting to read Diana's take on the whole English/French thing back then. Probably the only version of it I'll ever read about - ROFL! I always enjoy reading Diana's stories and this one was just fine. I like LJG!
