It also has space to track the start and end date of reading so kids can track how fast at reading they are getting the more they read. Filled with perfectly designed logs, and reading challenges, it’s the perfect journal to track your stats, favorites, and get inspiration for when you’re in a reading slump! In it, you can capture 60 book reviews with details such as favorite character, 3 things I loved about this book, and 3 words I would use to describe the book. This Log is wonderful for people who not only want to track what they have read, but what they want to read someday. Because I’m often looking back on books I read years ago, I may not fill in all of these spaces (see that whole issue of remembering what even happened that I discussed above).

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. You can use a dedicated reading journal for book lovers like this one where you journal just about what you are reading. Those things don’t always mean I won’t check out a book for myself, but again: reading time is limited, and I want to spend it with the most promising books.

This reading journal is stuffed with space for reviews, lists, and great quotes to keep you engaged and organized. Each time you read a book and fill out a journal entry, tear off the perforated corner of the page and see the bookworm “eat” his way through the entire journal! Mistakes happen, and you can’t start a new journal all over again every time you mess things up, so at some point you’ll need to go with the flow!

I’d gotten out of the habit of journaling in general and I thought Goodreads might be enough, flawed as it was. I enjoy the freeform nature of it and just falling back into my “oh, I LOVED that” whims, but if you wanted to be more organized about it you could separate by genre or age group. I love that the book reviews capture favorite and least favorite characters, what you felt after reading the book, and whether or not you’d watch the movie. It’s truly a reading planner, reading tracker, and reading journal all in one that comes in either hardcover or paperback. Plus it's been designed in black and white so you can color each section or page any color your heart desires.This 8×10 reading log is larger, has a unique and fun interior design, and can help you track 200 books. If you want a journal that also acts as a reading planner, then make sure you pick one that has a To Read list. Inside, look for book recommendations for a variety of interests and genres and question prompts to get your young reader thinking. If you anticipate using this journal for a year or longer, you may want to consider a hardcover reading journal. For example: use a different color scheme for each month or year if you’re not using the monthly section pages.

If you are the creative type, then crafting a bullet journal would be a perfect option for your reading journal. I like the ability to sort by certain characteristics, including page count, dates read, and ratings. I used to record everything I read in school–because I was reading so much that I wouldn’t remember what it all was if I didn’t! It’s perfect for people who want to make their reading log pages look beautiful while still being able to record everything they need.If you are designing your own, make sure to leave a lot of space for redesign if you change your mind along the way. I also like having a place to note all the books I want to read–as well as why they catch my interest (because I’m bound to forget! Explore collections in the arts, sciences, and literature from the world’s leading museums, archives, and scholars. TBR lists are handy for keeping a list of quality books you want to read, all ready for the next time you need it.
