Essay Reading Challenge

Another challenge I really enjoyed last year was the Essay Reading Challenge. To sign-up yourself head on over to Books and Movies! I have no idea what I am going to read for it this year, but I am joining in again anyway! Here are the details:

~ This challenge runs from January 1, 2011 through November 30, 2011.

~ If you read a book of essays, that book can also apply to any other challenges you are working on.

~ Choose a goal of reading 10, 20, or 30 essays, and then write a challenge post, linking back to this post. Feel free to copy and paste the above image into your challenge post.

~ Copy your challenge post’s link into Mr. Linky below.

~ You don’t have to list your essays ahead of time – just have fun reading throughout the year.

~ I will put up a page for the challenge in my left sidebar, and add a Mr. Linky for essay reviews and wrap-up posts as the year goes on.

~ Everyone who completes the challenge and writes at least one review will be eligible for the giveaway prize: A copy of Best American Essays 2011.

~ I will put up a wrap-up and giveaway post sometime early in December – that’s why the challenge only runs through November.

I think I will aim to read 10 and then if I read more, great! Last year I read books of essays, so that made it easy.
