2013 2nds Challenge

Welcome to the 2013 2nds Challenge hosted by Darlene's Book Nook!

This challenge was formerly hosted by Katy at A Few More Pages. I contacted Katy to find out whether she would be hosting the challenge for 2013, and I did not receive any response. Her Twitter page says that she is "on hiatus," so I have taken the liberty of hosting the challenge myself!

Update: On January 14, 2013, I was contacted by Katy who informed me that she would love to have me take over the challenge. Thanks so much for your blessing, Katy!

This challenge is for those books that are 2nd in a series, or if you are going back for a second time reading an author that you've experienced only once.

Please read below for the challenge guidelines:
