Welcome to the fourth annual Essay Reading Challenge! If you’re an avid essay reader, or just want to expand your reading horizons a bit, this is the challenge for you. If you’re thinking, “What would I read?” – stay tuned: I’ll have a post up with suggestions later in the week.
~ This challenge runs from January 1, 2012 through November 30, 2012.
~ 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 the Mr. Linky below or on the main challenge page.
~ 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 header, 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 2012.
~ I will put up a wrap-up and giveaway post sometime early in December – that’s why the challenge only runs through November.

I want to do this challenge again in 2012! (I regret not doing it in 2011.) I’ll come back once I’ve written my sign-up post.

Count me in again!
Is it okay if I link up to my 2012 challenges page instead of a challenge post?

I am in this year! It will be fun, I think, and I’m hoping some of the essays I read may inspire the writer in me.

I thought I signed up a few weeks ago? I only use e-mail-no blogging, twitter,etc. I didn’t see my initials as a member.
Thanks
Besides the great literary novels and storytelling in Irish lit., there’s also art books- The National Gallery of Ireland, and Irish Art in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. W.B. Yeats’ father and brother were accomplished artists.
