Looking through my old journal, there were some titles I barely remember reading.

It's funny in a way because I usually don't like books that involve infidelity. <br /><br />I really wish I'd started journaling my reading earlier than I did. My dad used to keep a record of all the movies he ever watched--and that's what originally gave me the idea to journal. At least in part. That and I wanted to remember what I read better!

I wish I had kept a journal of my actual thoughts on the books I was reading. I've been keeping a log since 2004 and while that's fun to read I think the thoughts would really add to it!Katherine Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12126062556416434416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-76556103369265351422014-05-19T05:26:19.931-07:002014-05-19T05:26:19.931-07:00What a great idea.

I think you made it clear exactly what you thought about the book and how it affected you.
