Book Journaling

Ok for those of you who are extreme bookworms (like yours truly =)) I recommend you keep a book journal. A book journal is a great place to react to what you read! You can find out exactly how you feel about the characters, you can gain insight about the theme or plot, and you can expand your overall enjoyment of the book! It's like having a record of all the books you've read!

When writing in my book journal I write the:
Title of the book
Author
Copyright
Number of pages
Paperback or hardcover
Date I started and the date I finished
ISBN
and my thoughts/comments

I also write any words in the books I don't know and then write the definition of them in the journal after I look them up (I've learned some weird words after doing this!) I also draw little doodles and drawings and write any writings/quotes/sayings in the book that I like and think sounds cool (I've also learned some really cool sayings after doing this).

Keeping a book journal is fun and you can learn a lot more about the book you're reading by keeping one. You can expand and get into details with you're journal (by answering questions like how do you feel about the characters/about the chapter or you're emotions about chapters) or you can do the journal very simple, easy, and basic like me the things I listed above!

Happy Journaling!!!
