And love both reading and writing! But the others are top priorities, too! Just finished Drums of Autumn today. Gotta get the next 1! _________________________ https://www.amazon.com/author/bonnie.mill-lemke https://kdp.amazon.com/en_US/bookshelf

I enjoyed the book and the movie and would definitely buy the movie on disc when I can. I have the book on my Kindle and will definitely re-read it when I have run out of my current crop. Most of what I read these days are the free books I find on Amazon; currently "The Celtic Conspiracy". It's an interesting book, sort of along the lines of Dan Brown's books, but with an interesting twist. I'm about 3/4 of the way through. The beginning was a bit of a drag, but I'm glad I stayed with it as it's now become a page-turner! _________________________ Well-behaved women rarely make history. - Laurel Thatcher Ulrich http://ruthrainwater.wordpress.com/ http://newbeginningsgratitudejournal.wordpress.com/ http://sablewings.wordpress.com/

yonuh Member Registered: 06/14/06 Posts: 2447 Loc: Arizona	Oh, there is another book coming out in the Outlander series, titled "Written in My Own Heart's Blood". I'm very impatiently waiting for it as the last one (Echo in the Bone) left a cliffhanger. I think it may be time to read the whole series again before the new one comes out early next year. She also has a 'graphic novel' (comic book) that takes place during the time covered by the first book and is from Jaime's point of view. I have also read some of her "Lord John" novels - different but still enjoyable. _________________________ Well-behaved women rarely make history. - Laurel Thatcher Ulrich http://ruthrainwater.wordpress.com/ http://newbeginningsgratitudejournal.wordpress.com/ http://sablewings.wordpress.com/

jabber Member Registered: 02/17/05 Posts: 10032 Loc: New York State	Well Diana Galbaldon fascinates me. She has a bachelor's degree in zoology, as master's degree in marine biology and a Ph.D. in ecology and claims, none of which has anything whatever to do with her novels. But methinks that isn't all together true. Some of these books I read were published twenty plus years ago. My neighbor has all the Lord John books too. So I'll be reading for some time to come. When Dianan Gabaldon finished the first four novels, she wrote "The Outlandish Companion" which explains the terminology used, so I've 557 pages and 979 pages of interest to currently read, and then some! _________________________ https://www.amazon.com/author/bonnie.mill-lemke https://kdp.amazon.com/en_US/bookshelf

How do you find free books on Amazon? _________________________ Boomer in Chief of Boomer Women Speak and the National Association of Baby Boomer Women. www.nabbw.com www.boomerwomenspeak.com www.boomerlifestyle.com www.boomerco.com

yonuh Member Registered: 06/14/06 Posts: 2447 Loc: Arizona	I believe it was free some time ago when I got it - I've had it a while. To find free books, look at the best sellers; on the right hand side of the page is a list of the top 100 free books. Some of them are classics, and some are by authors that have a new book coming out and want to get you hooked so make their older books free. The free books can change at any time, so I usually check the list at least weekly. _________________________ Well-behaved women rarely make history. - Laurel Thatcher Ulrich http://ruthrainwater.wordpress.com/ http://newbeginningsgratitudejournal.wordpress.com/ http://sablewings.wordpress.com/

jabber Member Registered: 02/17/05 Posts: 10032 Loc: New York State	Anne, The Fiery Cross is two simple sticks of pinewood, bound together by a rope. It's a ritualistic sign for clansmen to ready for war. When they see the main character, Jamie Fraser, riding through the glens and corries with the flaming cross, they're to fetch their weapons and come to a gathering place to prepare for battle. In this case they're to meet at Governor Tryon's. I'm only a quarter of the way through this book, set in the years prior to The Revolutionary War. _________________________ https://www.amazon.com/author/bonnie.mill-lemke https://kdp.amazon.com/en_US/bookshelf
