What is your reading goal for spring break? By setting a goal, you're more likely to accomplish a difficult task. Remember to be STAR: Specific, Testable, Achievable, and Relevant.

Specific: Page numbers, titles, minutes read, etc.
Testable: Can it be measured? If not, re-formulate.
Achievable: Push yourself, but within logical bounds.
Relevant: what matters in this area? Your goal should matter.

My goal is to read three books: Exit Here. by Jason Myers , Girl, Stolen by April Henry , and the book by Robert Parker The Boxer and the Spy by Robert B. Parker on my night table. UPDATE 4/19 - To quote the legendary musical talent Meatloaf, "Two out of three ain't bad." Didn't get to 'Exit Here,' but then again neither did either of my students who are reading it. I may just go out an buy yet another copy so I can beat them, even though one has a 200 page head-start.

Ariana | 10 comments My goal is to finish Crank (Crank, #1) by Ellen Hopkins . Then, if I enjoy it pick up Glass (Crank, #2) by Ellen Hopkins , which is the second book in the series that follows Crank. Hopefully, after getting it, I can finish it as well.
UPDATE 4/19-I did not "finish Crank, but I did read some of it.

Liyah T.  (liyahtbabii) | 5 comments My goal is to finish reading my book that I am currently reading at this moment Leaving Paradise (Leaving Paradise, #1) by Simone Elkeles since im only on page 98 and I find myself getting distracted alot, which causes me to take longer to read. Maybe, if I don't procrastinate I will start on a new one. Hopefully!

To All: Have a great spring break!

Janca (yancha) | 5 comments My goal for spring break is to finish Guns of the South. which will require me to read about 210 pages, or 30 pages a day. I'll also update my status every 30 pages (approx.) to keep track of my thinking. I did not reach my goal of finishing Guns of the South by reading 210 pages, instead i read about 62 pages and am really considering abandoning the book.

Jonfred Christian Diamzon | 1 comments My goal is to finish the last two hundred pages of Raven Rise, since I SHOULD be free during Spring Break.
I'm going to try to finish this book on 4/8/11... I might actually finish this book before Spring Break starts but if that didn't work out, it's always nice to have a Plan B.
Two hundred pages shouldn't be very hard...especially if I have 120 hours of free time.
I want to finish the entire Pendragon series. I'm on the ninth book out of ten right now.

[Edit]: Finished the book on 4/11/11. The reason I didn't finish it on 4/8/11 is because this book gave me an overdose of a powerful tranquilizer. I wasted a lot of Spring Break time knocked out.
Now reading The Soldiers of Halla.

Jose | 4 comments I am not going to read over break. Why read? its boring most of the time.

Guillermo caballero (memocaballero16yahoocom) | 1 comments My goal is to finish reading City of Bones by Cassandra Clare and start on the second book City of Ashes by the end of Spring Break. I plan to read both by the end and start on the third by the time i get back. Now that I will have alot of free time on my hands I will read 50 pages a day which shouldn't sound to hard to complete them both. After I complete those series I will begin on the Hunger Games series.

Chris Mejia (chicle) | 2 comments My goal is to finish Unwind and Hatchet in spring break.
The reason i put this goal for spring break is i have enough time to de this and it will be and ease to my summer to beat the boredom and also do something in my life that i could accomplished by not just one book but too. If I dont finished one. At least I could finish one book but i am willing to accept my own challenge to complete within seven days. UPDATE: My seven days are up and I came about finishing one book but still have not yet complete another. I have finish reading Hatchet by Gary Paulsen I usually read rarely enough to ten to twenty mins of worth reading and I found that the Hatchet was an amazing book like the old fashion way of surviving with just a hatchet and also fighting the elements such as hurricanes and bears. The book is an outstanding liturature and I recommend it to people who are into survival and struggle. Unfortunatly i didn't get to complete unwind and hopefully i get to finish it soon as it is another story about survival but in a different aspect.
