- Awards and Notable Lists
- To Read
- Journal Pages
- Recommendations
- Loaner Lists
- Resources
I do like the recommendations section because I'm forever forgetting books I want to read. Books on loan? Yeah, right. It goes out the door, I might see it in a few years. Better to kiss it goodbye. A borrowed list is good for keeping track of the books I get from family. The resources are a nice touch. I could see me using the literary terms section for reviews.
As for style, I thought it a bit clunky and hard to pick up. It's heavvvy. It is cute though.
If you are a fan of book awards, this would be a great resource. There is every award list you can think of and many, many more in here. I'm surprised at the number of awards there are! There's even a reading challenge based on the journal.
So if you are a list person like Booking Mama, or Anna, it's a must.
Thanks to Sourcebooks for the review copy.
LOL. I enjoyed reading your review! I don't really lend out my books too as like you mentioned, we may never see it again for a really long time. I do like the quote on the cover page of the Loaner Lists section though. :) But I like the awards section in the journal. It's useful for me to know what good books there are out there.

ReplyDeleteI love this journal and flip through some part of it almost every day, but like everything else, it'not for everyone.
ReplyDeleteLOL! I definitely do love all of the lists! I don't know if my reading reflects that, but I love this book as a resource! I'm sorry that it didn't work out for you!
ReplyDeleteI love lists, but I'm not sure if I need to buy a book for that? There are so many books already out there. I also like to make my own notes on what I mean to read in the future, but I have my own journal for that. This seems like one of those books to remember for birthdays though. And I don't think I'd dislike having it myself, I'd probably spend a lot of time leaving through it, but I'm still doubting whether these kinds of books are worth the money.
ReplyDeleteI have this book and love it because I like lists and it has lots of lists! lol
ReplyDeletei'm a list girl myself and am gearing up to peruse this book for a review myself. :) i am forever making lists and they keep me organized. i can't wait to see what this journal has to offer.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely something to buy for my mom!!
