2017 Reading Resolutions

Have you created any reading resolutions for the new year? A New Year’s resolution is “a promise to do something differently in the new year” according to Merriam-Webster Dictionary. I have set two reading resolutions for myself to help me continue making reading a habit as well as try out different types of books.

Mrs. O’Malley’s 2017 Reading Resolutions:
  • Read 25 books this year.
  • Read at least one of each of the following types of books:
    • graphic novel
    • science fiction/fantasy
    • mystery/thriller
    • humor
    • adventure
    • realistic fiction
    • historical fiction
    • biography/memoir
    • nonfiction
    • sports (fiction or nonfiction)
    • start a new fiction series
    • read a  book recommended by a student
    • read a book recommended by a teacher or librarian
    • read an award-winning book

If you would like to make a reading resolution for yourself, but need some inspiration try one of the following suggestions:
  • Read 4 times a week
  • Read 20 minutes each day
  • Do not watch the movie until you’ve read the book first
  • Try joining a book club (or ask your BFF to read the same book, then discuss)
  • Start a book journal to log titles read
  • Write a book review
