Long time no see. *waves*

I haven't had a great deal of time for reading lately, but here is a (short) list of the books I've read over the last couple of months:

1. Cross Stitch by Diana Gabaldon (aka Outlander) - second half (first half read in March). I am seriously in love with these books!
2. Turn Coat (The Dresden Files) by Jim Butcher
3. Dragonfly in Amber (Outlander series) by Diana Gabaldon
4. Voyager (Outlander series) by Diana Gabaldon - Have I mentioned how much I love these books yet? *g* They're looong (this one is over a thousand pages), but oh so fabulous. I can't get enough of them!

And that's it. :)

I finally have my laptop back (yay!), so hopefully I'll be able to start posting more soon. I hope you're all well. *hugs*

I want my own Jamie Fraser. God. . . and Jack Randall is one sick bastard.

I adore Jamie Fraser. Next to Spike/Buffy, I think Jamie/Claire has to be my favourite ship ever! :)

Jack Randall is so evil. *shudders at the thought of him*

I'm right there with you on the shipping. I cried so hard when Jamie left Clare -- the time he refused to turn around -- it was awful. So was the moment when he traded himself for her and Jack *shudders* got a hold of him. But I think the moment that sealed the deal, okay, truth? There were two moments. When I realized, halfway thru Outlander, that the ghostly Highlander Frank sees in the very beginning was actually Jamie, and then when Jamie and Clare are in France, after Jack's brutalized Jamie and she just holds him, putting him all back together with nothing but love. *sniffs*

Damn. Now I want to go back and read them all over again. Lucky for me I'll have 2 weeks time to do absolutely nothing.

I love each and every one of the moments you mention. I don't think I have one particular moment that sealed the deal for me - I just know that by the end of Outlander I had fallen completely and utterly in love with them.

I'm trying not to read them too quickly, as I want to savour each and every word...but it's so hard! The story completely takes me over and I just have to know what happens next!

When I *do* finish them, I'll definitely be re-reading them on a regular basis. :)

I'm a serious fan of the Gabaldon books too. And currently rereading them for the nth time — on A Breath of Snow and Ashes, right now.

Cal - how great to see your pixels! I don't think I've seen you since I saw you, so to speak!

Yay for The Return of the Jedi Laptop.

Hope the family are all well.

It's lovely to see you too, Gill! RL has been keeping me on my toes and away from the internet for a while.

I'm so pleased to have my laptop back. I've been lost without it! :D

There have been some family issues to deal with lately, but on the plus side, P's arm is doing much better. He's completely painkiller free now, and back to his old self again. Such a relief!

*hugs*

Nice to see you. I spend too much time reading and writing LoTR fanfic these days to read many other books!

*waves* It's good to see you, Voirrey!

I haven't read *any* fanfic at all for quite some time now. I've got so much catching up to do! :)

Thank you! It's good to be back. :)

I've fallen completely in love with Jamie/Claire. The books are so good!

Love me some redheaded Highlander!

Did you see the awesome banner (http://ducktheduck.livejournal.com/77710.html#cutid1) that [livejournal.com profile] ducktheduck made after reading Outlander (Cross Stitch)?

Ooh, thank you for the link. Such a beautiful banner! It captures Jamie/Claire perfectly. :)

*dashes in*

*waves*

*dashes back out again*

Which is the way my online life is going at the moment, RL is busy busy busy. I'm hoping for a little respite in a few weeks when school is finished and I've got a few days off.

Nice to see an update from you though and I'm glad Paul's arm is finally on the mend. Hope you and K are OK too.

*hugs*
