Second Chance Challenges discussion

Just getting into reading challenges. I've found that I get a lot of audiobook time at my new job (computer programmer) so I've been listening to a lot of different stories through my library. I love to read too so I've been going through two books at a time - one in audio format while I work and then another one while I'm at home the old fashioned way.

I think I'll be replying to this with each separate challenge and then updating that reply as I progress through it.
