Sorry to hear you had a rough year - hope the books you read (and of course your spouse) help you get through this one!

[@AshleysPlans]

Thanks so much, Kyle! It definitely was a rough year and I’m looking forward to this year being better.

I am new here! I really like this reading journal! I’m such a slow reader and with having 4 kids it’s kind of impossible most of the time but when I can read, I do!

[@AshleysPlans]

Welcome!! I’m also a slower reader. I was a teacher for the last 4 years, so I definitely struggled with reading during the school year. Now I’m struggling even more but for different reasons. I just can’t seem to find anything interesting. 😅

I'm actually on my third year in the same A5 reading journal because I've been so inconsistent with it, lol. I've been using Goodreads for over a decade at this point, so I think it has just taken me some time to figure what I actually care to track by hand. And it's helped me take some pressure off so I can actually enjoy the books I pick up! So like, I love having a spread for anticipated releases and lists for book subscription boxes and purchases over the year, but I can't write out series or keep up with monthly stats. However, I've finally figured out how I like to write out my reviews and I think I'm actually going to finish this notebook in 2024!

I definitely envision using this for at least two years. I guess it really depends on how in depth I go with reviews and such. I think I may just review 4 and 5 star books in my journal and leave the rest on Goodreads. We’ll see though! Thanks for following and sharing your experience!
