Book Journal

A note: All the highlighted words in my blog are clickable links.

I am an avid book reader so my Amazon Kindle is never too far away from my side.  Today, I would like to show you all my Reading Journal Filofax.

It's an A5 pink Finsbury. I also have the pink Kindle Cover, this folds back on itself so it stands up on its own.

My first cover page is the Kindle picture. I just love this picture of the person sitting under a tree; it reminds me of my late Dad. He told me once, when he was a young lad, he would often take a book and go and sit under a tree for hours, reading it.

So this is my set up:

The first set of tabs are: Kindle Purchases, Books Read, Samples, Wanted, Authors and Book Reviews.

The next set: are 2 sets of A-Z index dividers:

These house my Book Lists.  I have A-Z of Kindle Downloads and A-Z of Paper Books.

Across the top I have monthly tabs:

I write what books I read on every day, each month.  So far, it's been a bit of a slow year!

Books I buy & Reading List pages:

These are my Kindle downloads and what I paid for them. One of the best things about the Amazon Kindle is, you can get an awful lot of very good, free books.

This is my Book Read section.  I have read a lot more this year, but in this section, I only write the books I've completed.

I have an A-Z list of all the samples I've downloaded, again this is another brilliant e-book feature, as it allows you to read the first few pages/chapters of any book you are interested in.  I did have these under another set of A-Z index dividers, but I had to remove them as my Filofax became obese.

I have hundreds of samples and I can never remember what the actual story is about, so I sometimes use sticky notes with little reminders on.

My Wanted List:  I do own some of these books already in paper form, but I now want them for my Kindle.....just waiting for Amazon to reduce the prices.....for example, The Passage, I own the hard back version and it's really heavy to hold, so I checked Amazon and their Kindle version was around £9.  A few months later it was down to £5.  I brought it a little while ago for less than £3.  So sometimes it's worth waiting, for the price to drop.

Authors I enjoy:

Authors Lists.  A list of the books wrote by the Authors I like.

The R is for the books I've read

Book Reviews cover page:

This is how I fill in my book reviews:

And a completed Book Review.

Book List Cover:

First I have the A-Z for the Kindle Books I own. I use the book titles for these lists.

Then I have the A-Z of the Paper books I own. I go by Authors for this list.

I also have many books on particular subjects such as Tarot, Angels and Reiki, so I have lists of those books too under their own headings.

And that's pretty much my book Journal.  Hope you enjoy!
