I feel you on the reading journal. It got way too overwhelming for me to do like everyone else does- making spreads for every book, so I dialed it back to only making a calendar that shows when I read what books for that month, and then a spread for all the book covers I read and a place for ratings. And for now that is it. I might add a spread for a book if I loved it that much. But not for most of the books I read.
