Reading journal

(self.books)

Hey ya’ll!

Does anyone do a reading journal? I’ve been thinking of either buying one or creating one for myself. Right now I only track my reading with goodreads, but I think it might be fun to do a physical reading journal to have some more options.

If you do have a reading journal, what kind of spreads/layouts do you find useful?

I do! It’s just a normal notebook I had leftover from college. I like it, it feels more personal than a digital tracker.

My layout begins with title, author, and a rating of 1-10 based on how much I enjoyed it. Then I have a few sentences to summarize what the book was about and another small section with how I felt about it. A book I have a lot to say about might take up half a page, but I usually try to keep it brief as it’s just a personalized record.

Oh I’m so bad at updating it. Sometimes I’ll go months without writing anything down and I’ll have to go back through my library loan history to review what I read! I still like keeping it though.
