Happy Anniversary

On the fairly random date of April 6, 2006, I started keeping a book journal, because I was trying to read more intently, because I have a terrible memory, because I have cool friends who endorse book journals. In the two years since then, I’ve read 133.5 books, and taken fairly minimal notes (date completed, title and author, 1-2 sentences about what I thought) and it’s been *so helpful. I can now access all that I’ve read and what basic mood it left me in–I can’t explain exactly why that’s useful, but it really is. Consider trying a book journal, if you haven’t already. At the very least, it’ll make you feel smart!

This first love
