2nds Challenge 2008 Results & Reviews

January 3, 2009 by Darlene

Many thanks to Joy for hosting the 2nds Challenge this year. This was fun to go back to authors I’ve read before for another dose of good reading. Even better was the fact that I actually completed this challenge. Here’s my list with links to the reviews:

The Condition by Jennifer Haigh
Too Close to Home by Linwood Barclay
Coventry by Helen Humphreys
Blood Sins by Kay Hooper

I didn’t join the 2nds Challenge for 2009 but who knows, I just might yet!

    Well done! I’ve had one challenge end (and another continues). I didn’t finish the first and I’m not making much progress on the second.

    dar! it seems like you’re feeling better! im glad. thanks for commenting on my christmas photos! it made me and my mom smile. i hope you and buddy had just as much fun as me and my mom opening gifts!

    we went to my aunt’s house for dinner tonight and they let me out to go to the bathroom. i found a hole in the fence and got out and my mom and aunt and grandma and grandpa were running around looking for me in the dark! (im black, its hard). i got yelled at =( but they said it was just because i scared them. ..they looked like they were going to cry. my mom says she is sure buddy is better behaved than me..

    Congratulations, Dar! I hope all your choices were winners! 🙂 Interestingly enough, I haven’t read any of those authors. I have Barclay on my iPod, so I may listen to that sooner rather than later.

    Wendy, I think I may join the 2nds challenge again. I don’t want to join too much or nothing will get read.

    Kathy, thanks. I’m glad I managed to complete one of them. I’m one of those people who really doesn’t like when I don’t finish something so better luck to me next year. lol.

    Bandit, I loved your photos. You remind me so much of my baby boy. Oh, and no Buddy wasn’t any better than you at your age. He got away from me chasing a rabbit and it was about 40 below here at the time. I was so scared that I had lost him and he got yelled at too. You are both very much alike.

    Joy, thanks. I did enjoy all the books. I meant to list my favorites with my post but forgot.

    Congrats on finishing! This one would have worked better for me if it was a 3rd or 4ths read. 🙂

    Trish, I’m thinking I screwed up a bit on this challenge because a couple of these weren’t seconds for me, they were way more than that. Oh well, too late to fix it now, it’s over. lol.

    Naida, thanks 🙂

    LOL–I’m sure no one would have noticed. 🙂 Sometimes its ok to bend the rules just a little bit.

    Please don’t shoot me. I’ll tell the host that you’re good and nothing will come of it. 🙂
