How to Keep a Reading Journal

To remember the lists of books you read and, especially, how those books made you feel at certain points in your life, a reading journal could be a very beneficial activity to take on. Some things worth noting in your reading journal are: 

1. The date you started reading and the date finished 

2. Quotes that stood out 

3. Creative ideas or thoughts triggered  by your reading 

4. Your favorite character and why

5. Your least favorite character and why

6. Your favorite scene

7. A short plot summary 

8. Doodle ;) 

**Another benefit about reading journals is that they help you see how much you have grown or changed, especially when you read a book a second time around.**

P.S. Beautiful journals are sold everywhere, but a simple spiral notebook or a DIY could work just as well. Remember, it's all about the content ;)
