Oh my gosh, another busy week in the Outlander-verse! Lots of interviews and discussions. I’ve got a slide show with the premiere party photos you sent in, and look below for info on this year’s Holiday Gift Exchange! Hey, do me a favor, would you? Leave me a comment with what you would like to see in The Gab – and if you enjoy this weekly blurt of all things OL, tell a friend! And make them read it!
Gotta Have the News

Oh man, I know of a bunch of great stuff coming, but I can’t talk about it yet! Hopefully by next week I’ll have some more info. Keep watching!
In the meantime – one last call for Outlander ornament makers! If you make an Outlander-themed ornament that you’d like to sell, I’d love to feature it! Email me at econrad@threeifbyspace.net with info!
The Twitter Tweets
If you tweet during the live broadcasts, Starz is trying to get Outlander trending every week, and will send out a hashtag for fans to use in their tweets. This week’s hashtag is #Dunbonnet – hmmmm, wonder what’s in this episode!
Some Q&As this past week – here’s Maril Davis talking about the episode, and the Outlander Writers did their first of a planned series of weekly Q&As (they’ve been moved to Tuesday to accommodate international viewers).

There’s More to Life
This week – I started Deborah Harkness’ A Discovery of Witches, on the recommendation of my good friend and fellow TIBS writer, Alyson Bailey. And because I am always polyliterary, I’m also reading an older book by Robert Crais, The Promise. Not sure how I missed it, but I found it in the bargain bin!
Our thoughts and prayers go out to everyone affected by Hurricane Irma, which includes TIBS’ founder and managing editor, Robert.
All Around TIBS
Here’s a preview of the second season of The Shannara Chronicles!
And oooh, scary, a review of clown horror movie IT!
Outlander Holiday Gift Exchange

Recommended gift value (store bought or homemade) is about $25. The Exchange is limited to 150 participants. All communication about the Exchange will be by Facebook messaging. I’ll send you a quick confirmation message as soon as I receive your info – if you don’t see it within 24 hours, leave a comment here or send me a personal FB message (Erin Adams Conrad) and we’ll find out where your info went. Once you’re on the Outlander-TIBS page, message/PM the page – don’t leave a post – with this information:
