Well, here's another challenge that will allow me to read books I already own. Carrie at Books and Movies is offering the Essay Challenge. Here are the rules:
Welcome to the fifth 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?” – check out this post: Recommended Reading for the Essay Challenge – and “Why read essays?”I'm going to commit to ten essays, although I'll probably read lots more, as I have on my TBR list two essay collections--one by George Orwell and one by Vaclav Havel.
~ This challenge runs from January 1, 2013 through December 31, 2013.
~ If you read a book of essays, that book can also apply to any other challenges you are working on.
~ To sign up, choose a goal of reading 10, 20, or 30 essays, and then write a challenge post.
~ Copy your challenge post’s link into the Mr. Linky on this main challenge page.
~ You don’t have to list your essays ahead of time – just have fun reading throughout the year.
~ This main challenge page will stay in my header for the whole year. Come back and link any reviews you write.
So this Essay Reading Challenge might be one I can actually finish! Only 10 days into the year and I have read seven essays. How to read fast
ReplyDeleteI know! I've read my ten already, from one collection (Vaclav Havel's Open Letters). Although I've met my quota, I'll probably also read my collection of Orwell's essays this year.
