Here we have the Quote of the Day and book discussions.


Please click HERE to learn more about Quote of the Day.

When discussing the books please keep a few guidelines in mind. Thank you.

Just for fun - click HERE to read the Flame Warriors Guide. If you recognize yourself here it's probably time to take stock of things. :D ~ Judie


PLEASE NOTE - PLEASE NOTE - PLEASE NOTE!
Be forewarned that the book discussions encompass Diana's PUBLISHED BOOKS!
If you have not yet read the first 6 novels, The Companion/Through The Stones,
ALL the Lord John books (as of the end of 2007), or her short stories,
chances are you are going to encounter messages and/or QOTD passages that will contain "spoilers" in them.
And if you HAVE read the 6 main books but NOT the Companion/Through The Stones,
you may encounter two spoilers if they are ever quoted from - Part 11: Works in Progress.

Excerpts from Diana's unpublished works:

Discussions regarding Diana's "in progress" works are NOT posted here. Vicki has set up a board exclusively for the discussion of unpublished excerpts and you can find it here: Excerpt board, so please visit there for all the spoiler discussions you can possibly ever want! Thank you. (But it is ok to post notices here when there is a new excerpt to keep us informed.)

For those who are interested in reading some of Herself's thoughts in her own words,
here is a link to her folder at the Books and Writers Community at: Compuserve. You do not need to register to read the messages. Be aware that it is possible that you may come across spoilers.

Herself also has a blog. You can read and comment, if you'd like, at: Voyages of the Artemis.

To catch up on recorded interviews and/or appearances by our favorite author, check out her YouTube channel by clicking: Voyagesoftheartemis' Channel.

The message boards at LOL are for those 18 years of age and older. While we cannot monitor the boards, we expect people to honour this request because you are people of integrity. If you have any questions about WHY there is an age restriction, please click on "Contact forum admin" link above and send an e-mail. Thank you!

  • QOTD for Mon., Nov. 9th, 2009 -- BetsyBarefootspinner, 19:38:12 11/08/09 Sun
    The following quote is taken from Drums of Autumn, by Diana Gabaldon. Chapter 59, Blackmail. Copyright c 1997 by Diana Gabaldon. All rights reserved.



    "'Do you suppose anyone's watching?'"

    "'I'd say you can bet on it,' she said, a little grimly."

    "'Good.' Pulling off the sapphire ring he wore, he turned to face her and took her hand. He pulled off her mitten and ceremoniously slid the ring onto her little finger-the only one it would fit. Then he rose smoothly on his toes and kissed her on the lips. Leaving her no time to recover from surprise, he clasped her hand in his, and turned once more toward the house, his expression bland."

    "'Come along, my dear,' he said. 'Let us announce our engagement.'"

    "Such was the force of his presence, they DID stay, frozen in terror.

    "Holding them with his glare, Roger had waded almost to the shore. There, he squatted and cupped a handful of water, which he poured over the head of the shrieking baby- who promptly quit screaming.

    "'I baptize thee, Henri-Christian,' Roger had bellowed, in his hoarse, cracked voice. 'In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Ghost! D'ya hear me, wee bastards? His name is CHRISTIAN! He belongs to the Lord! Trouble him again, ye lot of scabs, and Satan will pop up and drag ye straight down screaming- TO HELL!'"

    The following quote is taken from A Breath of Snow and Ashes by Diana Gabaldon, Chapter 71. Black Pudding. Copyright© 2005 by Diana Gabaldon. All rights reserved.



    "There's a prayer for it, you know. For slaughtering an animal, I mean. Jamie should have told you."

    He looked faintly startled.

    "No, I didn't know." He smiled, a little better now. "Last rites for the pig, aye?"

    "I don't think it's for the pig's benefit," I said tartly.


    No theme this week, I had one in mind but didn't have the time to comb through The Books so I started on pg 35 and skipped 100 pages. There are a lot of quotable moments even during the Fraser's quiet times. Enjoy the weekend!
