I made a pocket notebook!
I’ve been making pocket notebooks for my different hobbies, and the latest one is for keeping track of what I read. It’s called Book Notes, a little play on “notebook.”
It’s standard pocket size (3.5" × 5.375"), 40 pages, small enough to tuck inside whatever book you’re reading as a bookmark. Each entry has room for title, author, pages, who recommended, dates started/finished, rating, and thoughts.
My favorite part is the cover: it’s set like a typeset proof, with proofreader’s marks correcting “Book Log” to “Book Notes.” My earlier cover attempts were too plain, and this one finally felt right for a book about books.
For those of you who keep reading logs, what do you actually write down? Just the basics, or quotes and thoughts too?
