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 ;)

Goodreads.com

Have you ever wanted to keep track of all the books you’ve read or want to read? Goodreads.com is the place for you! I’ve been loving this site since a friend told me about it back in 2011. You can keep track of as many books you’ve read from as far back or as current as you want. Users can also add books to their to-read list and update what they are currently-reading. In addition, you can rate, review, and recommend books as well as receive recommendations depending on the type of books you read and your shelves. You can enter giveaways or host your own, share you writing, take quizzes, challenge yourself to read a number of books in a year, make friends, and a lot more! If you are a bookworm, give goodreads.com a try ;) If you do, check me out @ http://www.goodreads.com/sabrinafatima (I would love a site like goodreads for movies!)
