BoB Book of Books reading journal cover

Most journals scatter a book across three sections.

A reading log here. Quotes somewhere else. A review page you fill in weeks later. Months on, you cannot reconstruct what you thought while you were inside the book.

BoB uses book blocks instead. Title to takeaways stay together.

The system

One block per book

  1. 01

    Opener

    Title, author, why you started, and one open question you hope the book will answer.

  2. 02

    Sessions

    Notes and quotes as you read. Mark the pace: slow, normal, or flew. Need more room? Extra Sessions are at the back.

  3. 03

    Closeout

    Finished or abandoned, both count. Resolve your open question, say what you are keeping, and where you were.

  4. 04

    Notes

    Overflow for that book only, so it never gets lost in a shared scrap pile.
