How to Create a Reading Journal
“So many books, so little time.”
I’m forever coming across books I’d love to read but I 1) am already in the middle of another book, 2) need to get a copy, 3) want more information, 4) my TBR list is already overflowing, 5) I’m sure there are lots of other reasons.
So how does a reader organize their TBR list and track reading goals? One way is to create a reading journal.
Before getting into the how-to, let’s talk about why you might want to use a reading journal.
- Track which books you’ve already read
- List books you want to read
- Feeling of satisfaction
- Reference guide for writing reviews and making purchases
- Easy way to participate in reading challenges
As for the how-to, there are many options and it ultimately comes down to personal choice.
- Readers who like scrapbooking or journaling might enjoy creating a bullet journal or using a notebook specifically for readers.
- Creating a digital journal using Word or Excel is another option. This gives you more flexibility in searching and organizing data.
- Another option is to collect authors’ printable book lists and keep them in a binder.
