I decided to write this post a little bit sooner than what I originally planned. One of the reasons is that there is the scene in the last episode of Outlander in which Margaret Campbell tells Claire about Abandawe (Season 3, Episode 7, Crème de Menthe). I recommend reading the following posts: White Animals and […]

Love Flat Top Sunglasses
I have not written much in terms of fashion since I moved and went away twice. As some of you might have noticed, I have an obsession for sunglasses. Today’s trend is to wear shield sunglasses with a flat top. Here are my top picks from more expensive to affordable. Saint Laurent SL 1 […]
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 […]

I have finally finished rereading Voyager, and this post will be about passages that reveal more about the series in general. Some of them foreshadow future events. Once reunited with Jamie, Claire muses about the series of events she had been through in a small time frame. I had not dared to think what life […]

When I first read Voyager, I noticed certain characteristics about Mr. Willoughby that grabbed my attention. At that time, it was hard for me to have it explained.

I recommend reading the following post, which I wrote a few weeks ago: About Short and Tall Men, and Monsters. I detailed Claire’s perception about short men. According to her, short men are not nice […]

I guess many of us were stuck to our couches watching Episode 702, “Stormborn.” Some of the things that I liked most are the number of references to the past, not only about the history of Westeros but also to previous seasons (and this season seems to be loaded with plenty of them). The episode […]

I have recently moved to a new home, the main reason why I have not been writing much lately. However, I took some time last Sunday to watch Game of Thrones, which I enjoyed. The Opening Scene Many non-book readers were probably puzzled to see Walder Frey having dinner with his kin. I immediately realized […]

********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 […]
