Second Chance Challenges discussion

Welcome! Thanks for checking us out!


How the Group Came About
There are quite a few challenge groups out there that host some really great challenges. I know - I'm a member of most of them. But there are only so many challenges that one person can complete during a given time period. I think we've all missed out on some fun challenges because we just didn't have the time, maybe we joined the group too late, or maybe we tried and just didn't get it finished in time. This is your second chance to complete those challenges that you missed the first time around.

Whether you're already a challenge addict or this is your first time trying out a challenge, I hope you find this a place to have fun and meet other readers who share your interests.

Keep on reading the posts below to learn more about the group and our guidelines.

First and most important:

Members MAY NOT Post Challenges!

All of these challenges are borrowed from other popular groups on Goodreads. They are borrowed with permission and credit will be given to the appropriate group and challenge creator in the individual threads. Links will also be provided to those groups so you can further feed your challenge addictions.

Because of the nature of this group I must ask that members Do Not Post Any Challenges! If there is a challenge that you would like to see re-posted here in SCC please send me a message so that I can obtain permission from the original group and challenge creator. This group is not here to steal challenges from other groups. We want to give credit where credit is due.

If you have an idea for an original challenge that you would like to see here please send me a message and we can chat about it.

Keep on reading below for some helpful links.

Here are some helpful links for new members:


**Partner Groups**
This is a listing of all of the groups that have contributed their past challenges to SCC. I encourage you to check them out (if you haven't already) and join!

**Introductions**
Stop by and introduce yourself to everyone. Tell us about yourself and also don't forget to tell us what other groups you love here on GR.

**Challenge Guidelines**
These are general rules that apply to the challenges here in SCC.

**Master List**
This is a list of all of the challenges currently available on SCC. I hope to update challenges on a monthly basis. In the same folder you can find more specific lists with challenges sorted by duration and original group.

**Questions and Suggestions**
This is the place to go if you have any general questions about the group or suggestions. This is a new group so please feel free to make suggestions. This is also the place to let me know if you find something that's not quite right: broken links, typos, etc.

thanks for the invite, this is going to be so much easier for me than checking out the many challenge groups on here.


I have bookmarked some of the challenges, i will be back soon to join them. It is the 'weekend" for me at work : )

You're very welcome! I hope you have fun. Just keep in mind that I will only have older past challenges from these groups. I will not have anything that is currently going on in the groups so I still recommend checking them out to participate in their current challenges.

Currently, this group is not "live" so don't join any challenges just yet. Things are still in flux - things may change or disappear. I'll send out a message when the group is ready to go live.

Thanks for your support!

This is a lovely idea! It's so frustrating to find a really great challenge and start making you list in your head and then realized it's already over!

Great group idea!

I second that! Just wish I wasn't currently so overwhelmed (or there were 13 of me) and I could start challenging myself immediately.:)

Love this idea! Can't wait to get started!:)

Thanks everyone! I hope you all have fun here!

Remember, there are no specific start dates for any of the challenges so feel free to join any of them whenever you feel like you're ready.

Thanks Sara! I deleted those. What an idiot!

I flagged the second comment due to the flagrantly hateful speech contained therein.:( thanks for the deletion, Cherie! I'm used to seeing such on FB but not on GR.

I blocked that member from the group so hopefully we won't see any more of that.

I'm so addicted to challenges that I join too many at one time, then don't finish them. What a great concept for a group!!

I think this is a wonderful idea. I don't like monthly challenges because I try to work on long term challenges and book club and work deadlines and I can't usually get them finished in the 30 day time frame...but I would like to do them and could do them if given 2 or 3 months.

Hi I am Ruth from Crazy Challenge Connection....I have been a member for awhile but this is the first I posted...I have been eyeing the Ben and Jerry's challenge...Oh MY....thought I should say Hi first!! :)

Have fun, Ruth :) I think that one's going to take YEARS to finish LOL

Thanks Barb....pretty quiet around here...thanks for answering me!! :)

Yeah, this group's gone really quiet lately.

I just joined, so I have nothing to compare it to. Good luck, Ruth, you can do it! I've got so many challenges in progress, and a few are going to take me (literally) years...2 Lisopia book challenges for 100 books a piece.

Welcome Ruth. You may want to add a post in the Introductions discussion. Those who are already members are more likely to check that one.

This group is not as quiet as it seems. Once you post to join a challenge most of us edit our original posts to record our progress. That doesn't show up as a new post so on the surface it seems quiet. I edit my on-going challenges every time I finish a book that fits. It shows as 'last edited' but doesn't change the date or position of my original post.

True, and I do the same thing, but there hasn't been a new challenge posted here for quite some time.

Hi everyone! I've been lurking for a while but I'm finally ready to start some challenges. Thanks for setting this up and making reading even more enjoyable than it is on its own!

Hi Sandy! We're really glad you found us.

You can ask a question in any thread it pertains to. If your question is pertaining to a certain challenge, you would post your question there. If it's about challenge guidelines, you would post it in that thread: Challenge Guidelines.

We do have a new challenge suggestion thread: Challenge Suggestions.

Welcome to the group!!

Jingles....what happened to the Spell in out threads? Can't find it?

Looks like that topic just dropped off the main page, Ruth. You can find it here.
