Today is October 23rd, and that means it’s officially and exactly one month until the release of Go Tell the Bees That I Am Gone, the 9th book in the Outlander series!

Anyone else planning their Thanksgiving week around the release of BEES? Just me?

ME: Okay, the book releases Tuesday, we have family arriving Monday, Thanksgiving dinner on Thursday… so if I somehow manage to stay up all night, every night reading, I can dedicate myself to the book and not offend my entire family by ignoring them…

Something like that, anyway.

In preparation for the release of this long- awaited book, I decided to treat myself to an Outlander-adjacent gift:

I haven’t opened the bottle yet… I plan to enjoy my first sips as I read chapter one of BEES!

And as if there’s not enough Outlander goodness on the horizon, we have season 6 of the Outlander TV series to look forward to in February 2022.

Meanwhile… let the one month countdown to BEES begin!
