I love this little journal。 I’ve already started using it and I know it’s going to be a better record keeper for my reading life than goodreads because I’m not one to put too much on the internet。 I’m also still a paper planner girl and a paper list maker, so paper (real books!) are my thing。 It’s clear that Anne put a lot of thought into the design features of this journal。 I want to say thanks for something that might be overlooked by others (because I know I’m a minority here)…thank you for d I love this little journal。 I’ve already started using it and I know it’s going to be a better record keeper for my reading life than goodreads because I’m not one to put too much on the internet。 I’m also still a paper planner girl and a paper list maker, so paper (real books!) are my thing。 It’s clear that Anne put a lot of thought into the design features of this journal。 I want to say thanks for something that might be overlooked by others (because I know I’m a minority here)…thank you for designing these pages with a paper that allows me to write in pencil (my favorite writing utensil! I use pencil for almost everything。) I’m sure pens & highlighters will also write beautifully。 And maybe I’ll get my pretty highlighters out for lists/quotes。 This journal is practical & fun to use。 :) 。。。more

If you want to keep a little more detail on what you've read, this journal is for you。 There's just enough space to remind you what you liked and didn't like about each book, but not too much space as to make it laborious。 There are also lots of extras - book lists and the like。 If you want to keep a little more detail on what you've read, this journal is for you。 There's just enough space to remind you what you liked and didn't like about each book, but not too much space as to make it laborious。 There are also lots of extras - book lists and the like。 。。。more

This is such a beautiful book journal。 It’s incredibly well designed and has TONS of perfectly curated book lists and lots of space to log your reading as well as journaling prompts to help you figure out what you love to read。 I love it and am having the most fun logging my reading。

Tita Berrios

For a book journal, this is is great。 Book goes beyond creating spaces for you to date reads and log reviews。 It also contains both recommendations and suggestions for structuring and maximizing your readership。 This journal would absolutely make a great gift。

I didn’t really buy this just so I could write down all the books I read, but there are great reading lists, quotes, and other good things in here。

Delightful and I cannot wait to use it!

I have been using Goodreads for many years to track my reading life, but I've had it's just the place for everything。 It's great to track what I have read, but I have found better ways to track what I want to read and quotes that I love。 I think I will be able to do everything in this book。 A one stop shop of all that I love about reading! I couldn't put down the lists and the tips and the fun additions to this book and I look forward to adding my own reads to it。 I have been using Goodreads for many years to track my reading life, but I've had it's just the place for everything。 It's great to track what I have read, but I have found better ways to track what I want to read and quotes that I love。 I think I will be able to do everything in this book。 A one stop shop of all that I love about reading!

My bookish heart is filled with delight by this lovely reading journal created by Anne Bogel (and is overflowing with bonus joy for receiving it just in time to scribble random musings during #Victober2021)。Equally happy on my nightstand or in my purse, this 5-inch x 7-inch hardcover 192-page journal (complete with ribbon marker) is both practical and pretty。 At its heart is My Reading Log, 100 pages for scribbling my thoughts and feelings about 100 books:title, author, genre, length, publisher, My bookish heart is filled with delight by this lovely reading journal created by Anne Bogel (and is overflowing with bonus joy for receiving it just in time to scribble random musings during #Victober2021)。Equally happy on my nightstand or in my purse, this 5-inch x 7-inch hardcover 192-page journal (complete with ribbon marker) is both practical and pretty。 At its heart is My Reading Log, 100 pages for scribbling my thoughts and feelings about 100 books:title, author, genre, length, publisher, year published, themes, how I discovered this book, memorable quotes, thoughts & impressions, fiction or nonfiction, date started, date finished, I’d recommend this to _______。my ratings:enjoyment (1-5 diamonds)craft (1-5 diamonds)overall (1-5 diamonds)The book begins with:•tHow to Use This Journal•tA Snapshot of My Reading Life Right Now•tMy Reading Habit Tracker•tDiagnose Your Reading TasteThen begin the book lists, which aren’t to-do lists but are “meant to serve as inspiration…to help you find your next right read”。 Super fun! I really enjoyed coloring in the diamond beside each book that I’ve already read。 Next I want to notate the lists for the books that I want to read in the future。 Here’s a list of all the book lists in this book (try saying that three times fast, haha!)。•tHistorical Fiction•tMystery•tLove Stories•tFantasy and Science Fiction•tChildren’s Books for Grown-ups•tBiography, Autobiography, & Memoir•tNarrative Nonfiction•tWinter: Inspiring & Practical Books to Help You Achieve Your New Year’s Resolutions•tSpring: Lively Books for Plant Lovers•tSummer: Books Set by the Water•tFall: “Spooky but Not Scary” Reads•tWonderfully Discussable Books•tCompulsively Readable Literary Fiction•tClassics You Should Have Read in High School That Are Worth Reading Now•tAudiobooks That Enhance the Reading Experience•tSpiritual Memoir & Biography•tLife-Changing Nonfiction Books Short Enough to Finish in a Day•tExtra-Long Books•tFeel-Good Fiction•tFood Memoirs•tBooks to Take You Around the World•tBooks About Books & Bookstores•tAudiobooks Narrated by the Author•tRiveting Mysteries (Series)•tBooks in TranslationOther fabulous features:•tMy “To Be Read” List - 7 pages with space to list 32 books: title, author, date added, why added•tReading Goals•tFive Ways to Get More Out of Your Reading Life•tFive Tips to Help You Read More•tTips for Overcoming a Reading Rut•tA Book Club Guide•tTen Questions That Work For Any Book Discussion (these questions are also helpful when writing a book review, I think)•tTools For the Reading Life•tBookstores & Other Literary Destinations I’d Like to Visit•tFavorite Books•tFavorite Authors•tFavorite Quotes•tBooks I’ve Borrowed or Loaned•tBooks I’ve Given/Received As Gifts•tReflecting on My Reading Year•tFavorite Books of the YearRecommended for readers who think better or feel better when jotting notes on paper with a good old-fashioned pen or pencil。 Also recommended for readers who, although not usually the journaling sort, want to see their reading patterns over time。 As Anne says in her Introduction, “When you have your reading history captured in one place, you can see habits and patterns that are hard to perceive up close, day by day, or book by book…。 If you feel like you’ve been on a roll lately with choosing good books, your reading log can help you figure out what those books have in common。 If you feel like you’re in a slump and haven’t been reading anything good (or reading anything at all), your reading log can help you determine why。 If you’re wondering about the diversity of the books you’re reading – whether by genre, topic, or author – your reading log has those answers。” 。。。more

I’m going to try to wait until 2022 to use this book journal, but I SO want to begin using it right away! It is beautiful, thoughtfully designed, and the perfect size! I can analyze my reading habits, record my thoughts on 100 books, keep a “to be read” list, and don’t get me started on the book lists! So many great books on the list!

Love love love this reading journal! 💜💜💜While I appreciate the convenience of recording things digitally, it just doesn’t provide the same experience as writing things down。 This is like a love letter to my books and reading life。 Everything is beautiful: the colors, fonts, page design etc。 I started filling things in right away and a happy surprise was all the bonus reading lists curated by Anne。 Get one for yourself and extras as gifts for any book and journal lovers you know!

I have used Goodreads to record my reading life almost since its inception。 Anne's book is the perfect journal to keep tucked in my purse or just around the house for easy access to new books to read, my favorite books, and my thoughts on books。 She has included various lists by subject with books ideas。 She is very thoughtful in her crafting of this journal。 It will definitely be a gift I give during the holidays。 I have used Goodreads to record my reading life almost since its inception。 Anne's book is the perfect journal to keep tucked in my purse or just around the house for easy access to new books to read, my favorite books, and my thoughts on books。 She has included various lists by subject with books ideas。 She is very thoughtful in her crafting of this journal。 It will definitely be a gift I give during the holidays。 。。。more

I designed the journal I have long dreamed of using, and the publisher's amazing team brought it to life。 I love it。 I hope you do, too, and that it does great things for your reading life。 I designed the journal I have long dreamed of using, and the publisher's amazing team brought it to life。 I love it。 I hope you do, too, and that it does great things for your reading life。 。。。more

I read through the prompts, lists, etc。 in this journal in preparation for using it in 2022。 My OCD won't let me start it at this point in the year, especially when I already have a reading journal going for 2021。 I cannot wait to start tracking my books in this beautiful little hardcover journal!
