2nds Challenge 2011

This one looks like fun, and can be combined with my other challenges. So, I accept the challenge! ;-) What is the 2nds Challenge? It’s pretty simple. Read a book that’s 2nd in a series or the second book you’ve ever read by that author. This one is hosted by A Few More Pages, another great book blog.

The rules:

1. Anyone can join. You don’t need a blog to participate. If you’re not a blogger, leave your information in the comments.

2. There are four levels to choose from in this challenge:

  • Just a spoonful - Read 3 books that are 2nd in a series or the second time you’ve read the author.
  • A few more bites – Read 6 books that are 2nd in a series or the second time you’ve read the author.
  • A full plate – Read 12 books that are 2nd in a series or the second time you’ve read the author.
  • All you can eat – Read 20 books (or more) that are 2nd in a series or the second time you’ve read the author.

You can list your books in advance or just put them in a wrap up post. If you list them, feel free to change them as the mood takes you. Any genre counts.

3. You can join anytime between now and December 31, 2011. Don’t start reading until January 2011.

I’m going to aim for A few more bites, and adjust my aims if I happen to reach that before next fall. As for the authors/series, I’m not entirely sure. I’m thinking Stephenie Meyer and P. L. Gaus for starters. I know there are many more whose books I read for the first time this year and definitely want to read more. I’ll update as I go and try to remember to list what challenges my reads count toward when I post reviews.
