Keeping A Reading Log

What’s going on, Internet? One thing that has brought me joy this year has been keeping a physical reading log. I already keep a digital log of the books I read on this website, but the physical reading log that I picked up last month during a visit to Mrs Blackwell’s Village Bookshop has been a great addition to my reading journey.

These beautiful notebooks are made by the Blackwell’s through their Printing Press.

The one I have is a series 3 passport size, and it has enough pages to record seventeen books. You can also get the reading log in a regular size. This reading log allows you to record:

  • Title
  • Author
  • Date Started / Date Completed
  • Number of Pages
  • Format: Hardcover, Paperback, E-Reader or Audiobook
  • Owned / Purchased From
  • Borrowed / Return Date
  • Your notes from the book
  • Keywords / Concepts
  • Star Rating

After finishing a book, I like to sit at my desk and record the book details and my thoughts. Then, I can put add them to my website as a bookshelf entry.

This reading log has been designed to fit in the Traveller’s Company leather case, which is also available at the Village Bookshop. It looks like a great accessory to protect the many reading logs I hope to use over the years, and it seems like it will last forever.
