I got a fancy new Moleskin at the beginning of 2014 and after a few entries, I got so far behind and have never caught up! With Goodreads and my blog, I didn't feel a strong need to keep a written journal, but it still bothers me that I let this go. Not sure if I have the energy (or time!) to go back and record all those books...Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345657431432380804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2755001368713174831.post-52099613572317992812015-03-24T05:29:27.219-05:002015-03-24T05:29:27.219-05:00That's pretty much what I do too.That's pretty much what I do too.Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13495669354860191042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2755001368713174831.post-46532175966813992892015-03-23T22:04:49.479-05:002015-03-23T22:04:49.479-05:00Very cute!

I want to peruse her shop now and pick out a journal for myself, so when I go to the library or bookstore I have a current list of titles I know to look out for. I need help or else I stare blankly at the shelves. <br /><br />I use Goodreads to track my reading, at least starting a couple of years ago. I wish I had done it sooner, but the rest of the titles are stored in my brain, not the best location for them :) Thanks again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2755001368713174831.post-3230374753797570262015-03-10T10:44:15.054-05:002015-03-10T10:44:15.054-05:00I love Iliana's journals.

I used to keep a written journal, but got away from the habit a few years ago. I sometimes think of picking up the habit again, but it's not so easy to break out a pen or pencil and start taking notes when most of the reading I do is in short snatches here and there. I used my written journals for jotting down my thoughts of books as I read them. I still have all my old ones. <br /><br />I used to keep a spreadsheet of all the books I own, but that also fell by the wayside. Now I don't really have a place where I list or track my to be read books. I do track the books I read on on my blog and GoodReads. And I use Amazon as my wish list.Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2755001368713174831.post-46368956443720304592015-03-10T09:51:23.428-05:002015-03-10T09:51:23.428-05:00That's an awesome journal!
