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 […]

Outlander: 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 readingWear Leopard Prints (Dress Edition)
As some of you have noticed, I am a fan of leopard prints, especially colorful ones. This post will be about my favorite top choices when it comes to dresses. If you have a more restricted budget, the following dresses are below $100. Hope you enjoyed seeing these dresses.
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 readingWear Leopard Prints (Sweater Edition)
There are so many prints that one can wear this fall: camo, dark florals and snake. However, my favorite one for this fall is (and has always been) the leopard. I own three leopard print sweaters.

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 […]

I recently did a second reading of The Scottish Prisoner, and I have always felt that the bog man was probably a time traveler. As a result, I decided to take a closer look at the evidence given in the text. Of course, this post is speculative, and the final verdict is still out. Most […]

I am heading out to Europe again today, so I decided to share the “daisy” trend and some of the items I like most. First, I am a big fan of floral skirts, and the daisy print is feminine. Here are my top picks. I also like the following items from Madewell. However, my favorite […]
Continue readingOutlander: Richardson as a Member of the Sons of Liberty
I have been wanting to write about Richardson for a while, especially after reading An Echo in the Bone, around two years ago. Ezekiel Richardson is an enigmatic character. Is he a double agent or an American spy? Of course, Written in My Own Heart’s Blood reveals more about him. However, the purpose of this post […]

A little note to Outlander readers: I am currently working on an extensive post about book 7. It will probably be up in a week. One of the trends for this spring and summer is the balloon or puffed sleeve. I have always been a big fan of them. In fact, I own four items from […]
