Reading Journal Builder
Choose how many books the journal has room for and which review fields each page asks for: title, author, dates, format, pages, genre, a rating, a favourite line, thoughts and who to recommend it to. The journal prints exactly that many numbered review slots, and a book log that gives the page of each one.
Add reading goals with a box to tick for each book (or ten milestones for bigger targets), series you are following, and books you want to read. There are no pictures: no cover images are included, so the pages are plain and quick to print.
