I have laughed, and cried so much while reading these books that one night my husband said to me that he could not sleep with all of the sniffling, nose blowing, and small sobs coming from my side of the bed.......Poor baby, he did have to go to work the next day, so I guess that I forgave him(sorta) ;>)Susiq2https://www.blogger.com/profile/07160747221882189971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6369920588474226441.post-3780927895546419082007-05-11T14:41:00.000-04:002007-05-11T14:41:00.000-04:00I adore historical fiction and Outlander- be still...I adore historical fiction and Outlander- be still my heart! I read all the books in the series and Jamie is one man who is too good to be true! I really like how the last few books have Claire and Jamie in their 50's and their romance is so sweet and hot even at their age.<BR/>Have you guys read The Bronze Horseman and the sequel?

I have stopped reviewing because of what is happening to you. Reviews should be judged on how the essence of the story is revealed, with the reviewer whetting our curosity and helping us to choose books that we will enjoy. Why do spitful things to you?

Great! :-) <BR/><BR/>About negatives: well, I can give someone a neg -- if a review of his I'm looking at is lousy in some unforgivable, in my view, ways. But I'd never neg anyone 'politically', if you know what I mean. Yet it's possible, so people do it.
