Outlander Series discussion

After doing our re-read in March and continuing on into April, here is the Dragonfly in Amber reading challenge

You can only use a book for one category - no overlap allowed.

No books by herself (DG) allowed as part of the challenge - because hey how is it a challenge if you can re-read an old favorite

It is a category challenge, you can choose to do 3, 5 or 7 of the category choices

1. an author who's initial appear in the title Dragonfly in Amber - both initials need to appear, but they do not need to be sequential
2. a book set in France or written by a french author
3. a book featuring politics in some way or another
4. a book where the mother/daughter relationship is significant
5. a book that was first published in the year DFiA was (1992) or in the month that DFiA was released (July)
6. a book where a war plays a significant role
7. a book that has a predominantly orange cover
8. a book that is 2nd in a series

here is the link to the challenge if you want to do it that way:
