There are eight completed and a ninth is in process. I have no idea when book 9 will be completed.

I still liked it when Claire told her SIL to plant potatoes!

that would then be a copy of that movie, with the two lovers from different times, leaving notes in the mailbox. Maybe they copied that from Outlander? It was called the Lake House?

no, I wasn't clear, I sent them the CD's. From the TV Series.

well, then, if there are 9 books, they must go way ahead of Claire's time, right?

My sister tells me the TV series is doing a fantastic job and keeping pretty much with the books, the only draw back is, they are not explaining things in detail, that we do here.

Ah, I see great minds think alike. It seemed so obvious to me.

Actually, they were able to chat back & forth. Had Claire left notes for Brianna it would only be one way. However, I liked that movie too.

Yep, me too. And, when they first dug them up and were asking how to eat them.

If I remember correctly from the books, the potato was not a big crop in Ireland at that time so she was using some of her future knowledge to help them, knowing that potatoes would grow well there and be a big crop in the future.


On a side note, I missed having an episode to watch last night!

ahhhh, hence the necklace that her daughter gave her before she left...? Yes?
