Welcome everyone :)Lizz did a great job on this one, enjoy!
So, questions for you super-smarties who are running the show!UF/PNR only? Or are we allowed some 'flex'?
How about rereads? Is it no or are a few allowed?
Oh, and on this one:
Imperial Porcelain and their Trademark
1. Russian setting or takes place around a royal family
This can be fictional royalty I assume?
One more...on this one:4. Main character is an eccentric or an outcast
Liek just the one character, or can it be the character's 'people' that are outcasts?
DanaBeing a PNR/UF kind of place, we prefer that, but in this challenge, read whatever fits the category you choose.
Re-reads allowed.
Fictional royalty is fine.
The main character must be outcast, if his/her people are as well that's OK.
I'm in. I'm debating for how many though. Maybe I'll be unwise and do all 20. I'll have to go through the books and see what I've got.
Cool, thanks Sandra. Sorry about the onslaught of questions. :)
You know i'm doing this challenge and for anyone who likes to watch Antiques Roadshow you can watch for free on PBS.com

@Cindy (eclecticfirefly)I don't see why not lets see what Sandra says
Of course Cindy can work her way up, that's what all good professionals do. LOL!
Erato wrote: "Cool, thanks Sandra. Sorry about the onslaught of questions. :)"No worries Dana, ask as many as you can think of. Hahaha
Welcome Crystal & ❥☪LIZZ NEILL☪❥ ;)
I'm having a hard time trying to come up with books for Imperial Porcelain and Ohr if anyone has any recommendations they would be very welcome :) Thanks
Kat,Ohr - Red cover should be easy
Imperial Porcelain - Gold cover
The best way to find cover colours is to scroll down your tbr list.
Another way to find names like Elizabeth or George is to look at our database and see if the name is listed.
Book Detail Database
Any story that has a royal family would qualify, whether it be fae, aliens, or russians. LOL
The other tried and true method is to see what others are picking. Remember you don't have to list all your books up front.
Hope these ideas help :)
Thanks Sandra this helps alot :) I'm just going to up date my orginal post if that's ok :) and is it ok to set my start date for July 1st I want to finish up some other challenges before I start this one
for Imperial Porcelain. The book takes place around Anastasia
for Ohr. The books where none shifting werewolfs are outcast
