How to Start a Reading Journal
A low-maintenance reading journal that helps you remember what you read.
A reading journal can hold a few lines per book, not a complete record of every chapter.
Start with one spread
Give each book a title, author, why you picked it, three ideas or moments, and one question.
Choose a level of detail
Minimal notes suit most readers. Add quotes or chapter notes only when they help you return to a book.
Keep it findable
Add book titles to a simple index as you go.
