This "book diary" was recently gifted to me & I find myself very pleased to have it. I have found four sections particularily useful:Book Lists - Books to ReadRecord Book - Of Books ReadBook Keeping - Books I Want to OwnBooks to Remember - I Must Remember to Read These Books AgainMost of the others I could do without; but it is very helpful to gather in one place all the books that catch my eye (though I certainly have not the time to read them all!) and everything I have finished. It certainly beats a collection of loose notes! The paper is of decent quality, the quotes and illustrations scattered throughout are pleasant, and the book is an appropriate size.What I dislike about the book is that it is not very flexible: within, for example, "record book", are sections to record by title (expansive) and by author or subject (very simple). Does one record everything thrice? If only once, which format is to be preferred? How will you tell the order of reading, if you spread them out between the three? There are 34 complete records here, which would only last me 3-4 months, so I've gone with just using the simple form. Likewise, there are whole sections of the book that are a waste to me, spaces dedicated to books borrowed or lent, book clubs, and address space for bookstores & libraries.Nonetheless, I'm glad to have it. But I would recommend thoroughly browsing it before you buy & deciding whether it really fits your needs.
My sister ordered this book for me for my birthday. I was so excited when I opened the package and found the wonderful pages to document my reading, copy favorite quotes, list books I loved as a child (and still do), keep track of books I want to read, and more. This simple organizer is lovely! It has numerous wonderful quotes about books and reading from various sources. I took several evenings to browse through it thoroughly. I still enjoy just looking at it. The paper is of a very high quality. The colors are minimal to prevent competition with the reader's entries. If you love reading, get your hands on this little gem to store all your favorite memories of books!
For my purposes (described in an earlier review) this is probably the most satisfactory book journal. The other book diary BookNotes was the best as a gift to a young child, in my opinion, even though it was not quite what I wanted.I wanted a place to record all the books I read by subject, by title and by author. This has that. I wanted a journal where I could jot brief notes about books. This has that as well.This is not however the place to go if you want to write long detailed notes about each book (for that, I would recommend a separate blank journal). Rather, use this journal as a way to record what you read and when you read. If you have highly specialized reading tastes, some of the sections might seem extraneous, but the beauty of this journal (apart from its looks) is that it allows you to customize as you please.I think I am keeping this one for myself. One caveat - I wish that this book had a bookmark (marker) included. But I can easily stick one in myself.
I found "A Book Lover's Diary" to be a great place for keeping track of books you want to own, book club meetings and book records. It's very nicely formatted with great qoutes on books in between records. It made it a lot easier for me to remember books that I would like to read/buy later on. If you're a forgetful person like I am, this "diary" would definitely help.
I just bought my third "Book Lover's Diary." Best way to keep a list of the books I own and want. And lots of space to record what I've read. I read about 8 books a month and there was plenty of space to mention each. My only complaint would be to note that there are only about two lines to write your thoughts on each book. That's very rarely enough space for decent notes.But otherwise, this book is the best thing of its kind I've found so far.
I bought this for my mom. She is an avid reader, but is old school and refuses to switch to a Kindle. I wanted to give her something that made keeping track of what she has read easy and this journal is structured well in that regard. She seems to like it and now, instead of putting post-it notes on the front of the books with the information, she is able to keep the details all in once place.
I purchased A Book Lover's Diary a few months back, and I am so glad I did. It is the perfect addition to my growing library! A Book Lover's Diary is a small hardcover book that has lots of room for the various lists, that are essential to book collecting. Books you want, books you have read, favorite books, etc. It even has space to add if you have lent your books out and to whom so you can keep track of who is borrowing them. I think that is a great feature. But, what I believe is the best feature is that is is small enough to put in my purse when I go out. I don't know how many times I have gone to the book store and forgotten what books I want to read, due to the fact that there are so many. With A Book Lover's Diary with me, I have it all down on paper! Which makes my book hunting that much more simple! I would buy this book again in a heartbeat, and whole-heartedly recommend it for any book lovers out there!
