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: 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: 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 […]
Continue readingOutlander: The Fight with the Bear in Drums of Autumn
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 […]

I have been planning to write a post about the possible presence of an entity at Abandawe since three years ago (after reading Voyager for the first time). Since Season 3 of the TV adaptation is coming to an end in a few weeks, I think it is the proper time to write about it. […]
Continue readingSkulls and Bone Reading in the Outlander Series
I decided to write this post to establish some connections among several hints given away throughout the series about the stories that bones can tell. In Voyager, there is the scene in which Claire holds the skull of somebody who was killed in the eighteenth century (Geillis’s skull). Without applying any scientific method, Claire can […]

********Spoiler Alert******* Chapter 18 is a significant chapter in many aspects. I have always wondered whether there is some meaning behind The Impetuous Pirate. Of course, the fact that the narration is taking place on a ship foreshadows the trip that Claire and Jamie will undertake across the Atlantic. They will face issues with pirates […]
Continue readingRereading Voyager: About Short and Tall Men, and Monsters!
This post is of a speculative nature, and I suggest reading this post about Voyager’s prologue first. Rereading Voyager – The Prologue In Chapter 17, Claire expresses some concerns about short men. Her daughter Brianna is interacting with one of them. Apparently, she has warned her daughter to be cautious about them. Here are some of […]
Continue readingOutlander – Rereading Voyager: Jamie’s Arrival at Helwater
****Spoiler Alert**** I will be writing several Outlander posts in the next few weeks since I am almost done rereading the first half of Voyager. As usual, the most important details are given in the first half of the novel. For today’s post, I will concentrate on some notable quotes and Jamie’s arrival to Hellwater. […]

My last Outlander post for 2016! First, I would like to thank everybody who read my posts. I am in the process of writing two more Outlander posts that will be published in the first week of January 2017. Today’s post will be highly speculative and thought-provoking. First, this post is related to another one – Symbolism […]
