I'm interested to know what the index cards are for.Melissa (Avid Reader)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02119628715475021774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8481406859587493585.post-12169952412207217212010-03-29T19:59:50.210-04:002010-03-29T19:59:50.210-04:00That is one lovely journal.

I have, however, begun keeping a reading journal (in a regular notebook) with a slight twist. <br /><br />One thing that I notice will happen over the years is that I'll completely forget whole junks of a book I've read, so I've started keeping a book summaries journal where I write the title of the book, author, and a summary of the entire story (which can stretch to a few pages).<br /><br />Then I have my index cards, which are a whole other story. :D<br /><br />Ann-Kat @ <a href="http://www.todayiread.com/" rel="nofollow">Today, I Read...</a>Today I Readhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16901778742769328753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8481406859587493585.post-63398483982020156272010-03-29T16:07:02.759-04:002010-03-29T16:07:02.759-04:00Captain- I'm with you.

I also keep a quote journal for my favorite book bits.Captain Nick Sparrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12668840981814071637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8481406859587493585.post-43247877948961781072010-03-25T20:42:52.355-04:002010-03-25T20:42:52.355-04:00I never wrote anything down before I started blogg...I never wrote anything down before I started blogging so the blogging is it (plus LibraryThing, Goodreads and Shelfari).Jennershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08044537551139633301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8481406859587493585.post-4141435091817527222010-03-25T12:10:29.797-04:002010-03-25T12:10:29.797-04:00I still do, but mostly now I just write down words...I still do, but mostly now I just write down words or phrases instead of sentences. And since blogging I mostly only write down page numbers and the first few words of a passage I liked.clairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14397226316253896335noreply@blogger.com
