My Reading Journal: A Notebook and Diary for Book Lovers

Product Information

Even now, with Goodreads and other media that makes tracking reading possible, it’s often difficult for me to even remember basic plot lines or main characters’ names of books I’ve read because there are just so many.

This journal is perfect for those who want a simple no-muss no-fuss space to record their reading history. This is often the major problem of most authors as they always claim themselves to be so busy that they might eventually discard it because they have become uninterested and that they have no time to finish it anymore as they tend to more important matters. The best reading journals have at least 100 pages, can log at least 50 books, and are designed to suit your particular journaling needs. It’s got space for both the kid and the adult to rate the book, and keep track of who did the most reading, so kids just learning to read get to track how many books they read on their own, and with help. The Bookish Companion (Mini) is ideal: the size of a small paperback, it has room for 100 book indexes and reviews.This journal is also pretty compact, so it’s great for people who travel a lot or have limited journal storage space. Whether you are writing a book journal or a blog online, it is time that you start grabbing a book and read it. If you’re looking for a cute pre-made reading journal, you will love this review of this new book journal.

And if you’re trying to learn something, to improve yourself, or to make a real change–as so many of us have been as we dive into our anti-racist education–a reading journal can help you track what you read and learn, and what you plan to read. My reading journal of the Books I Love is just that: a collection of notes on my very favorite books. These days, I think my reading bucket list could use an update (fewer old white men, more marginalized authors from all time periods), but I do like to revisit it and work the books in when I can.There’s also a place to record details like the genre, number of pages, and publication date of each book you’ve logged. Keeping a book journal or reading diary can help you remember the books you want to read, keep you on track with reading goals, and help you meet a reading challenge. I am especially realizing this in 2020 as I read more nonfiction and more books for my antiracist education. If you’re looking to include charts, graphs, or a “bullet journal” style book log, the dots make for easy customization.
