2nds Challenge

The 2nds Challenge is another of J. Kaye's brain children. It can follow nicely on the heels of her First in a Series Challenge or it doesn't have to since the books don't have to be part of a series, just the second book you've read by an author. It is a nice incentive to read more of an author you enjoyed the first time. And if you're like me, you've stockpiled other books but have just never made it back to reading him or her again. This is the challenge to help you rediscover why you cheerily agreed to read more by these authors.

Here's my list as it stands right now:

1. something by Sarah Dessen
2. Laughter on the Stairs by Beverley Nichols
3. The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay by Michael Chabon
4. Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell
5. Kristin Lavransdatter II: The Mistress of Husaby by Sigrid Undset
6. Apocalipstick by Sue Margolis
7. Through Thick and Thin by Alison Pace
8. Luncheon of the Boating Party by Susan Vreeland
9. A Pigeon and a Boy by Meir Shalev
10. Joy in the Morning by Betty Smith
11. The Old Forest and Other Stories by Peter Taylor
12. The Tale of Desperaux by Kate DiCamillo
