Hello!
Im currently thinking of getting a book journal but im a bit unsure and wanted to know what your guys opinion was on them and if you have any book journal suggestions?
Incase someone doesnt know what a book journal is it is where you can track your read books, review them, rate them etc in a cute little book.

I just bought a regular journal and kind of did a bullet journal type for my book journal. It was a cheap one for maybe like 10.00 at Wal-mart and I could make it my own.
May I recommend https://www.earthboundtrading.com/ they have some cool ones to start! And of course, journaling is always the best off your chest thing to do! We used to have one on the table in our house that we all had to write in just to touch base on feeling and what we were doing my parents wrote in it everyday and so did us kids. We went back a year or two later to the older journals and saw so much growth!
I like keeping track of books in a journal so I know how many I’ve read in a year. apart from the book title and author, I write down some themes or a a few phrases about the plot. Some books have nice passages that draw my attention so I keep quotes as well. I’m fairly inconsistent though and maybe not all books have noteworthy quotes so I won’t write anything except basic info. I also don’t like rating books. a basic journal/notebook works, pretty simple.
I’ve seen some people get really serious about this, describing plot, characters etc. it’s all about personal preference and how much time you want to invest in it.
I usually note the finish of a book/series and some thoughts in my regular daily journal.
Also, 1/3 of my actual Instagram posts are photos of books/series that I enjoyed.
