Ps. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kxopVi...

I will read at least 10 books this Summer. This is at least 1 book per week.
I will read at least 1 science fiction book. I am still interested in science fiction so I am going to keep my toes dipped in this genre.
I will read at least one memoir or nonfiction. I need to read a book that is not all fake and lovey dovey.
My goal is to read the entire 50 Shades series. I have to be able to pick a long book and stick through it.

I will read a total of 6 books over the summer.
I will read an long book to help me be able to read longer books for schools.
I will have fun reading over the summer.
I will dedicate 20 min every day. (If possible).

Last summer, I read five books. This summer, I plan to double that and read at least ten books. I also plan to read at least two non-fiction books, I just haven’t found any good ones that I feel like I can actually enjoy. I would like to try and keep the amount of graphic novels I read to a minimum. I want the majority to be actual novels, preferably adult ones. I also haven’t read a classics without being told to, so I want to find one myself and read it on my own.

3 goals
improved attitude
read at least 3 books this summer ( 2 more than in the past)
try to enjoy it.


Reading plan.

( 3 books)
Sunrise over Fallujah
Seal of Honor
Joker one : a marine platoons story of courage leadership and brotherhood.

My summer reading goal is to get through 5 books. I don't know what books they will be yet, but I want to finish the Throne of Glass series. I may also finish the Count of Monte Cristo.

My summer reading goal is to read more science fiction and classics. I plan to read at least 10 books including Pride and Prejudice, Nantucket Red, Life of Pi, and The Handmaids Tale.

I will read at least 8 books this summer, I guess one'll be non-fiction or something like that.

My summer reading goals include reading at least five books I will try to read more historical fiction and at least read one book that has a genre I would normally dislike.

I will read at least 6 books this summer. that will be a pace of at least three books per month. I will widen the horizon on the genres I read. I will try to read at least one book out of my comfort zone.

My goal is to read three books this summer, including 100 side ways miles, and two others.

My goal is to read 4-5 books this summer.

~I will read 60-84 books this summer to work towards my goal of reading at least 200 books this year.
~I will continue to go through my “want to read” list on Goodreads instead of going to the library and getting a bunch of good looking books.
~I will not read the ending of the book before I reach the ending.
~I will not judge books by their cover and read books that sound exciting or that are suggested to me.
~I will read for 30-60 minutes every day.
~I will finish every book I pick up no matter how much I dislike it.
~I will read more challenging books like Pride and Prejudice, The Kite Runner, along with others.
~I find myself getting excited each time I finish a book and can record it on Goodreads because I believe that the more you read, the more lives you get to live. Therefore, I want to read as many books as I can and I will most definitely update my Goodreads book list every time I finish a book!

I would like to read some books from different genres like I did last summer. One book I plan to read is Unbroken, and I’m looking forward to that book. One goal for me to accomplish is for me to read at least once a week, which isn’t hard to do, but I just need to do it to push myself to a better level of reading and self discipline.

That video is hysterical!

I will read at least 25 books this summer. That will be a pace of approximately 2 book per week.
I will read at least three non-fiction books this summer (Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer is already in my stack, and I have Unbroken by Hillenbrand as a “must read.”)
I will read at least three fantasy books this summer (The 5th Harry Potter is in my stack, and I am going to finally read A Wrinkle in Time. I picked it up several times in elementary, and never finished. Going to finish it this summer. I am going to try American Gods by Neil Gaiman. I really loved The Ocean at the End of the Lane, so maybe he is a good entrance into fantasy for me.)
Harry Potter and American Gods will also allow me to meet my goal of reading longer books to improve my stamina.

I will read at least 4 books this summer. I work during the summer so it’s hard for me to make myself read.
I will read at least one classic novel this summer (Jane Eyre)
I will read The Last Lecture for the second time. However, this time around I will study the meaning behind the content.
I will read one nonfiction book this summer (A Long Walk to a Tomato).

I hope to read three books. Including at least 1 Non-Fiction.

1. Read ten books this summer
2. Read one book at the beach
3. Read one autobiography

My Summer Reading Goal is to read seven books. They are the following:
Let's Explore Diabetes with Owls by David Sedaris
Half the Sky by Nicholas D. Kristof
The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern
Animal Farm by George Orwell
The Lacuna by Barbara Kingsolver
Lord of the Flies by William Golding
Beloved by Toni Morrison.
I am going to either finish a book in two weeks or thirty pages a day. I am very excited! Happy summer!

My reading goal is to read four books this summer.
1.The beginning of everything (R.J. Palacio)
2.I wonder (Robyn Schneider)
3.Pride and Prejudice (Jane Austen)
4.The Kite Runner (Khaled Hosseini)

I want to read a classic.
I will read The Secret Life of Bees, The Help, A Great and Terrible Beauty, and Pride and Prejudice.

Goals:

I will read at least 3 books this summer.
I will read at least one book of a different genre.
I will read at least one longer book, that is over 500 pages.

1.Read at least 5 books
2.Read more than just young adult fiction.

My goal is not to read novels but graphic novels. I don't know what they are yet but their out there waiting for me.

I want to read Gone Girl
I want to read a classic novel
I want to read at least 3 books
I want to read something not by nicholas sparks

I want to read a book a day.
I want to get harder and longer books to read.
I want to read Withering Heights.

my goal is to read 27 books this summer.

My goal is to read at least two books a month this summer.

I would really like to get these 4 graphic novels I've been really looking forward to reading, then i'd like to finish Eleanor & Park, and then read the third book in the series I Hunt Killers.

My reading highly depends on my motivation and workload at home. I will place my goal at 10 books but that may vary. I read 25 books or so last summer but that was because I had no life and way too much time on my hands to be healthy for a teenage boy.

My reading goal is to read at least twenty books this summer. All classics. One would be Lolita (Vladimir Nabokov), and another Jane Eyre (Charlotte Bronte). The two books I'd like to read before I talk to a recruiter this summer is Unbroken (Laura Hillenbrand) and American Sniper (Chris Kyle).
I'd also like to read for an hour a day.
Also pay off my library fine, it's like $65 dollars.

I'm loving all your goals!
My goal is to read at least 20 books this summer, at 2 a week that's doable for me. I plan to read one from our library and one from home or for my various book clubs.
