Outlander Series discussion

As we all know, Sam Heughan is going to play our beloved Jamie and being as he (along with Claire) is the most important character, it only seemed right to start with his name.

Dates: January 1-Feb 28

Goal:
Spell SAM HEUGHAN through a combination of book titles, authors first name or authors last name. (10 books)

You can ignore words like The, A, An in the title, but must use the first word otherwise.

This should be fun!

100 pgs or 30k words if u do Ebooks only ;)

Not sure which post this belongs in, but now I see a name and a familiar face. When I looked him up on IMDB, I realized I had watched him in the series Island at War on Netflix. I have an episode of Midsomer Murders that he was in queued up for next time I can sit for 90 minutes. And I will be searching the other things he has been in to see if they are on Netflix.
I don't get Starz, so probably won't be watching until it gets to Netflix!

Thats what I figured, but just thought I'd ask just in case.

If we Finish with Sam early can we start on whoever is next or must we wait into March 1?

Until**

you have to wait until March ;)

Lol. Boo. I guess I can use my time to find a z book somewhere :)

you can re-do his name if you want - maybe set yourself a harder limit (like 200+ pg books, all first name, all last name etc)

wooo hooo completed :D

congrats Katie :)

Wow Katie! Congratulations - you're a reading machine!

lol not really. Love public transit. It allows me to read min of 2 hours everyday.

Congratulations, Katie! I actually miss the days when I used to take the bus to work (way back in the 70's!) Over an hour to get to work and another hour to get home; I read a lot more in those days!

I made my shelf and have been keeping track but as I came to update post, realized I never made original post. Posting everything with this one.
