As much as I love school, I’m starting to get excited for
summer break. Not only do I get to sleep in, spend more time writing, and
practicing for track and field by running laps around my grandparents’ canola
farm, I have more time to READ, READ, READ!
I haven’t been as good at this as I should be. (Which is
horrible since I want to be a writer!) This is my wake-up call. <cough
cough>
Last summer, I pledged to read 12 books, which was probably a
bit ambitious. Six books per month isn’t as easy as it sounds, especially when
there are so many fun things to do in the summer. Like go swimming and hiking,
or ride my bike and do crafts with my sister. Plus, this year being Canada’s
150th birthday, there will be many celebrations happening across the
province. I plan to take in as many as I can.
So, this year, I’ve set a more realistic goal.
TEN BOOKS.
That’s still five books a month, but if I carve out a
few minutes every day, I should be able to get through a book and a bit every
week. And that’s if I start July 1…I might actually start THIS weekend. How
many books will YOU read this summer? (P-s-s-t ~ comics and graphic novels
count!)
I hereby challenge you to a Summer of Reading. What 10 books
are on your list? (Share in the comments so others can get ideas!)
Gotta jet! Have a great weekend… reading, right?
