Expectations for Reading this Year

• Read as much as you can, as joyfully as you can.
• Read at home for at least half an hour every day, seven days a week.
• Find books, authors, subjects, themes, and genres that matter to you, your life, who you are now, and who you might become.
• Try new books, authors, subjects, and genres. Expand your knowledge, your experience, and your appreciation of literature.
• Keep a list of the titles and authors you’d like to try, especially in response to booktalks and recommendations.
• Each quarter, establish and work toward significant goals for yourself as a reader.
