Starting a Reading Journal

[seleneheart]

In 2024, I decided to start reading published books again, instead of long-form fanfic downloaded from AO3, because I needed more of a challenging read than fanfic provides. To stay motivated for 2025, I'm participating in a Book Bingo challenge. All of the above led me to decide that I want to start a journal dedicated to my reading.

And I don't want anything digital, otherwise, my Goodreads list would be adequate.

I've looked at some that people have posted here, and trying to figure out what I want to do. I think I want a bigger size that my A5 bullet journal, and I think I want to do less hand-drawn art that what I put in my bujo. Maybe more scrapbook-y and less time-consuming. I definitely want to do something like print out the book covers on sticker paper.

What type of information do you include? How do you sequence the books? Do you have a daily reading log or something similar?


Mods: could we get a style: reading journal tag?

It's different from a review I'd post elsewhere, it's only meant to be read by me.

Yes, that's exactly what I want - maybe incoherent rambling that would never make it into a post, but means something only to me. I don't really have any space to do that right now.

I'm seriously considering an 8x8.
