Shanyn at Chick Loves Lit is hosting a new challenge this year: The Sophomore Challenge. Think of it as kind of an extension of the Debut Author Challenge. Remember all those debuts you loved from last year? All those first-in-a-series books and authors you fell in love with have another chance to shine this year through this challenge.
I kind of have two to-read lists for this challenge one is a list of books I for sure want to read and the other is a list of sequels which belong to 2011 debuts I desperately want to read but haven't gotten to yet. So kind of a to-read and a hope-to-(want)-to-read. There are currently 60 books on the goodreads list which you can find here: Sophomore Book List. The minimum goal is 10 books, but with that many (and more being added) I'm sure you can find plenty for a decent list! I definitely found a good amount of sophomores:
To Read:
1. Insurgent (Divergent #2) by Veronica Roth
2. Hallowed (Unearthly #2) by Cynthia Hand
3. Fever (The Chemical Garden Trilogy #2) by Lauren DeSetefano
4. Truth (XVI #2) by Julia Karr
5. The Fine Art of Truth or Dare by Melissa Jensen
6. Envy (Fury Trilogy #2) by Elizabeth Miles

2. Mara Dyer #2 by Michelle Hodkin
3. Perception (Clarity #2) by Kim Harrington
4. A Fractured Light (A Beautiful Dark #2) by Jocelyn Davies
5. Girl of Nightmares (Anna #2) by Kendare Blake
6. Timepiece (Hourglass #2) by Myra McCentire
7. Dearly, Beloved (Gone with the Respiration #2) by Lia Habel
8. The Lies That Bind (The Liar Society #2) by Lisa Roecker
9. Ashen Winter (Ashfall #2) by Mike Mullin
10. Bad Hair Day (Kate Grable #2) by Carrie Harris
P.S. Notice all those sequels in there? Does anyone know about any series challenges? Because I have about a million other books in a series planned to read, but they aren't sophomores and I was hoping they'd count towards something.
i was thinking about doing this one too. i don't know about a series challenge yet, but i'll keep my eyes open for one, because if i find one i'll probably want in on it too. :)
