My Reading Journal!


After gifting a Reading Journal a few months ago and seeing how cute and useful it is, I bought one for myself! It is the perfect little book to keep notes on books you are currently reading, lists of to read books and award winners, an organized place to write info. on books you are borrowing or others are borrowing from you, and a lot of other cool extra pages to fill out, all book related of course :) I have included some of the pages in this Reading Journal below that I wanted to share. (Click to enlarge the images.)

This is what the journal is about and how you can use it.

There are 50 of these pages, so basically this journal will fit notes for 50 books.

This a close up of the above image. These are spread throughout the journal. There are 5 pages of these in a row then a fun page like the ones below.

My Biblio Style
Current favorite authors and books, checklists of fav. places to read, genres, etc.

One of my favorites, the Reading Trees. What book made you want to learn more about xyz subjects, to read xyz other books by different authors, and to read xyz other books by the same author.  

Haven't done this yet, but the Literary Superlatives looks fun!

Another useful page. Write down all your favorite quotes on the Lasting Language of Literature page.
 
The 2 Books on Screen pages has some fun things to fill out like best and worst movie adaptions of books, books I'd most want to make into a movie, books I'd like to see made into adaptations, and my list of existing movie adaptions to see.

The 2 Borrowing and Loaning Records pages help keep titles and dates organized.
 
Final Thoughts
I have used this book for a few months now and think it is very cute, fun, and useful. This would make a great gift for a book lover or someone who writes a lot of book reviews ;)
