41. Involves A Second Chance


Another one of our “two�� themed prompts for 2022, this one is a book that involves a second chance. This could be part of the title or the plot. A character could be given a second chance at life or romance, or an individual pardoned for a crime. It could also be a second chance for you as a reader! Maybe you want to give a book, an author, or even a genre a second try! Another phrase you could try looking up is "new beginnings"

Check out our ŷ������ List for examples

I read Lucky by Marissa Stapley 3 Stars.

Thanks for the ŷ������ lists for each prompt. I went through this particular list last night and found nothing. I have just been through it again and I found Love In The Time Of Cholera

In Our Time by Ernest Hemingway

Me too! On my long time TBR list.

your second life begins when you realize you only have one by Raphaëlle Giordano (offering second chance to yourself)

I went for Under the Whispering Door by TJ Klune for 2nd chances loved it

I read "Second First Impressions" by Sally Thorne. Had to read it for book club and it fit nicely for this prompt too!

The Stars are Fire by Anita Shreve

Six crimson cranes by Elizabeth Lim

The Happiest Man on Earth

Under the Whispering Door by T.J. Klune for this one.

God of Gnomes by Demi Harper. A charming and somewhat harrowing tale of a character choosing the good of those around over his own desires. In the process he find redemption and happiness in his second chance at life.

Just finished an advance copy of The Accomplice by Lisa Lutz which is scheduled for relaase 1/25/2022. A important character is living under a different name hoping to leave the past behind.

Lisa Gardner, Never Tell. I think the whole novel is about second chances -- it's told from the pov of three different women who, in one way or another, get a second chance.

I'll be reading Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë.

Night Road by Kristin Hannah

Northern Spy by Flynn Berry

We Begin at the End by Chris Whitaker

NIGHT ROAD by Kristen Hannah

I placed Bright Young Dead by Jessica Fellowes under this prompt. One maid is trying hard to turn a new leaf in life.

Pack Up the Moon by Kristan Higgins

Just Last Night - Mhairi McFarlane

I read “Misery�� by Stephen King for this one. Poor Paul definitely got a second chance at life! I had watched the movie long ago but never read the book, so I was glad to finally read it!

I read The Midnight Library by Matt Haig.

I read A Wizard of Earthsea by Ursula K. Le Guin. I didn't like it, but I finished it. The entire book is about the MC getting a second chance to fix a mistake made at the beginning.

For this one I read One Word Kill by Mark Lawrence. Nick, the main character has cancer. But somehow he will have a second chance at life. Can't say how, it's a spoiler.

But the book is great, totally recommend! Especially if you are into friends playing Dungeons&Dragons and having fun, until things go down.

I read Ugly Love

I’m putting Thursday Murder Club here because so many characters were having varied success with a second chance in life. And some were on the verge of getting a second chance.

I am adding Elodie’s Library of Second Chances to the list.

Elodie's Library of Second Chances

I just started this 52 week challenge, but I have read lots of books so far this year that match some of these prompts! For second chance I read Seven Days in June! It’s a second chance romance about 2 authors that spent 7 days together when they were teenagers and met again many years later!
