Reading Journals for Book Notes and Recommendations
A reading journal gives book lovers a place to record what they read, what they thought, what to recommend and what to pick up next.
Why people love it
Why it makes such a good gift
A reading journal suits the kind of reader who enjoys looking back as much as moving on to the next book. It can hold ratings, quotes, notes, wishlists, book club comments and recommendations from friends.
Some journals are structured around book clubs, while others are more like a personal log. The best choice depends on whether the recipient reads socially or simply wants a private record.
It pairs naturally with a new book. Add a novel, book token or bookmark and the gift feels complete without becoming expensive.
