A title for Book 8!
Diana Gabaldon has announced the title for Book 8!
WRITTEN IN MY OWN HEART'S BLOOD
[UPDATE 9/8/2011 5:17 pm: The wording of the title has changed slightly since the initial announcement. I've updated the title here to reflect what Diana is now calling it. For Diana's latest comments about the title, look here.
I really like this title. My first thought is that it has LOTS of potential for multiple meanings.
This title suggests to me that this book is going to be more character-focused than ECHO, with less of an emphasis on external events, and more time devoted to exploring the relationships between the characters. I hope that proves to be the case.
I think it's a great choice! <g> Can't wait to see what everybody else thinks about it.
If you want to tell Diana what you think of this title, you can post in the thread on Compuserve, or on her blog here. And by all means, feel free to post your reaction here on my blog as well. (Pro or con.)

My fear / prediction though would be that it means that someone is going to bleed/die - and I don't know if I can take that.
I'l be sure to read it, though, no matter what the title!

Love your theory that this book will be character driven!
Frankie,
I thought the same thing! I find it very interesting the title is first person. I don't want to believe this is the final book though. Diana has mentioned before that a triple trilogy sounds good. Here's to hoping we get a book 9!

Yes! I saw this late last night. Makes it even more interesting! I also appreciate her addressing all the "doom and gloom" comments the title seems to be getting from everyone. I didn't find it ominous or a sign of bad things to come at all. I'm really excited to see her explanation of where the title came from. Now that Book 8 has a name, it's like it's real! Now we wait! :)
