I know I am a little bit behind with everything. I have not even watched the fifth season yet because I had some guests at home. However, I have been reading again book 5. I am aware that many describe The Fiery Cross as not an easy read. It looks like the plot starts slowly […]

Outlander: Interesting Quotes from Drums
In the first chapter of Drums of Autumn, Jamie is not sure whether to remain in Charleston or proceed north towards Wilmington. Of course, Young Ian and Duncan prefer to go north. However, Jamie is more concerned about sending his nephew back to his sister as soon as possible. Young Ian mentions that having him […]
Continue readingOutlander: The Abortion Topic
I went away during the Christmas Holidays (which is nice), but came back with a strong strain of a cold (I could not celebrate the New Year). I endured three days of high fever, and two days of muscle weakness and shivering. It seems I ended up with laringitis. I might not be able to […]
Continue readingOutlander: Dreaming of Frank
In the past, I have written two posts concerning the second sight in both Jamie and Brianna. It seems that they “time travel” via their dreams. For example, Jamie can see his grandchildren in the future through his dreams without being physically there. Of course, there is a probability that his grandchildren perceive his presence. […]
Continue readingOutlander: Stephen Bonnet as a Half-Ghost
If you frequently come to read my Outlander posts, you may have noticed that one of the topics that I often discuss is the main characters as half-ghosts. Before reading this post, I suggest reading the recommended list. When Jamie relates to Bonnet that he escaped from being hanged in the past, Stephen describes him […]

I enjoyed watching Episode 404 yesterday night via the Amazon Prime application. Of course, we were told in advance that Jamie’s struggle against the bear would be different. The bear was replaced with an insane man wearing the hide of a black bear. This man is referred to as “Tskili Yona,” which means ghost bear. […]

One of my favorite quotes of the Outlander Series is in Drums of Autumn, ch. 15: “What possessed ye, woman, to hit me in the heid wi’ a fish whilst I was fighting for my life?” The quote is amusing when it is read. It is a comic relief especially after the struggle that both […]
Continue readingOutlander: The Prologue in Drums of Autumn
Usually, when we read an Outlander novel for the first time, readers cannot determine the character associated with the prologue, especially as new characters are introduced and become important. The prologue of Drums of Autumn is one of those. With a second read, it comes to the mind that it is Brianna’s point of view […]
Continue readingLord John Series: Who is the Tithe/Teind?
Probably many of us are puzzled concerning the identity of the tithe/teind in The Scottish Prisoner. Is it Tobias Quinn or Jamie? In my two previous posts, I discussed the notion that the faeries do sacrifice one of their own to hell. Furthermore, I brought up the conception that time travelers are seen as faeries […]
Continue readingLord John Series: The Bog Man as a Time Traveler-Part Two
In my last post, I speculated about the mysterious bog man in The Scottish Prisoner is a time traveler. Here is the link. The Bog Man as a Time Traveler. Of course, I discussed the notion that the teind/tithe has to be one of the faery-folk as detailed by Abbot Michael, and that time travelers are viewed as […]
