Some will be doing this in class more formally, but if not, take some time to reflect on yourself as a reader and set a realistic reading goal for the next few weeks. Swing by the library to talk to us about your goal, and get some good recommendations for your TBR list.
Click here to create a copy of the Reading Goals/TBR template. Then, share it with Mr. Graña so you can have at least one person to help you stick to your goal!
