Some of you said that you wanted to choose more than one answer. Sorry, but that's a personal bias of mine. I don't like polls that allow multiple selections per person, so none of the polls I run on my blog allow that.
Many thanks to all of you who participated! I'm really pleased with the way this poll turned out.
Please take a moment to vote in the August poll, which is all about visiting Scotland.

"Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it"
Please bear with me (if this comment is(doubtful)rec'd.
I've tried several times to comment but, Frankly (no pun intended hee,hee) I am WAY more comfortable in front of my sewing machine or in charge of a hot glue gun than any damnable computer! I first got hooked on the Outlander series after hearing my late mother in law and sister in law talking about the books. My (ex)SIL, gave me a brief synopsis of the 1st three books. Thankfully, she told me 'just enough' w/out too many spoilers. I then asked my MIL about the books. She (petite, red-haired Scotswoman that she was) proceeded to tell me that she was reading the books, but alas, (her words) "Had to put them down and read other "fluff" and come back as able. She said to me that they made her homesick for Scotland. Yes. You heard correctly. The Outlander books made a Scottish "war bride" circa 1958 HOMESICK! Needless to say, I RAN to the nearest bookstore and bought all available books-3 Outlander, Dragonfly In Amber and Voyager were in print at that time. Have been positively addicted ever since. There. FINALLY got to confess(?) lol events that started this hunger for more of Jamie/Claire.!! Yippee!
I have spent the time between absurdly huge novels reading Lord John books, Outlandsh Companion and (lately) Trail of Fire, Tales of Love, etc. Also, re-reading the "big books". Am currently on ECHO. Somehow, I missed the details of William's fever dreams (when he meets Ian in the great dismal). The skulls with rainbow colored eyed and (yikes) teeth. Have I missed you or DG mentioning this connection? While Ransome is Jamie's, son, how is he so in touch with the Indian afterlife/crossover? Also, have you highlighted the wooden stethoscope Claire uses (Jamie made it for her) to listen to captain Stebbings' heart/lungs in ECHO? I may have missed it as I have children to raise (damned inconvinient when there are such books to be read!) ROFL! Sincere thanks for your dedication to your fellow Outlander fans! Your Outlandish Observations are the highlight of my Friday mornings.
