Step Two: Go through and figure out where everything in your notebook is. If you are designing your own, make sure to leave a lot of space for redesign if you change your mind along the way.
One of the most popular is the Pop Sugar reading challenge, but we also recommend the one by Modern Mrs Darcy, there are even some goodies to print and add to your journal!I tend to avoid numbers-based challenges, but I do like to consider my reading habits each year and what kind of books I want to read more of. My 2020 reading challenge was to read one nonfiction book per month and one book from my shelf. Do you need a bigger journal that will have a larger font that’s easier for you to read, or do you want a larger journal because you need more room to write? But when I start coming across passage after passage that makes me pause, read it again, and try to internalize it, I want a meaningful way to engage with those ideas. And obviously, for me, that starts with a reading journal. How a Book Journal Improves Your Reading Life But keeping a physical journal with pen and paper has had multiple benefits to my reading life, including: NOW, IT’S YOUR TURN TO SHARE YOUR LITERARY SAVVY!

Over the last year, I’ve really embraced the idea of using a reading journal. As I’ve explored the role of a book journal in my reading life, I’ve discovered that there are so many ways to use reading journals. Whether you read five books a year or one hundred and fifty books like me, if you read a great book you don’t want to forget it. Just to be clear, I don’t think the issue is that I read on the kindle, but more like I need a system for organising my thoughts during my reading. Although I usually read non-fiction, I do read fiction as well and I totally want to be able to archive somewhere interesting or funny quotes from characters, etc. From simple journals, to comprehensive journals, printable reading journals to digital reading journals, and reading journals for specific reading groups and genres – I guarantee the perfect choice for you is just waiting to be selected! This is also useful for removing books from your TBR–which for me, also happens frequently. If a book doesn’t work for a trusted reader friend, I’ll go in and cross it out. Same thing if something about the book is problematic (e.g., American Dirt).She also planned to add her own TBR list (To Be Read) each year then catalogue the books she’s read with a short blurb (her opinion, a notable quote from the book, etc.). A dedicated book journal for your reading challenge can be especially useful if your challenge will span a whole year (or even longer). It can help you stay focused on your goal and remember to work in those books that help meet your challenge. EndNote - if you are starting your dissertation, think about managing your references electronically using EndNote. The font she used is based on an old stamp set by Sassafrass Lass. We love the font,but the stamps ended up lookingtoo small for this purpose. Megan used her printer to enlarge the letters and traced each one into the journal with graphite paper.
