Reading Journal

Some people just want somewhere to write down what they read, without choosing from a dozen page types. This is that: 8 pages, printed at home. The Book review page asks for title, author, genre, dates, pages and format, then gives four ruled boxes for the plot, what you enjoyed, what fell flat and one line to keep. Print it once per book. The log runs from 1 to 100, with the numbers already on the page, 25 to a page, and room for title, author, finish date and a star rating. The To-be-read list adds 56 lines, each with a Got it box. It is a flat PDF for writing by hand. A larger bundle in the shop covers series and book club pages.

Does the log have to be filled in order?

The numbers are printed, so it reads best in order, but nothing stops you from skipping lines.
