A Book Addicts Best Friend.

I purchased A Book Lover's Diary a few months back, and I am so glad I did. It is the perfect addition to my growing library! A Book Lover's Diary is a small hardcover book that has lots of room for the various lists, that are essential to book collecting. Books you want, books you have read, favorite books, etc. It even has space to add if you have lent your books out and to whom so you can keep track of who is borrowing them. I think that is a great feature. But, what I believe is the best feature is that is is small enough to put in my purse when I go out. I don't know how many times I have gone to the book store and forgotten what books I want to read, due to the fact that there are so many. With A Book Lover's Diary with me, I have it all down on paper! Which makes my book hunting that much more simple! I would buy this book again in a heartbeat, and whole-heartedly recommend it for any book lovers out there!

EXCELLENT

I just bought my second "book lover's diary." Best way to keep a list of the books I own and want. And lots of space to record what I've read. I read about 8 books a month and there was plenty of room. My only complaint would be to note that there is very little space (about two lines) to write your thoughts on each book. That's very rarely enough space for decent notes. But otherwise, this book is the best thing of its kind that I've found so far.

Best looking, and also very useful

For my purposes (described in an earlier review) this is probably the most satisfactory book journal. The other book diary BookNotes was the best as a gift to a young child, in my opinion, even though it was not quite what I wanted.I wanted a place to record all the books I read by subject, by title and by author. This has that. I wanted a journal where I could jot brief notes about books. This has that as well.This is not however the place to go if you want to write long detailed notes about each book (for that, I would recommend a separate blank journal). Rather, use this journal as a way to record what you read and when you read. If you have highly specialized reading tastes, some of the sections might seem extraneous, but the beauty of this journal (apart from its looks) is that it allows you to customize as you please.I think I am keeping this one for myself. One caveat - I wish that this book had a bookmark (marker) included. But I can easily stick one in myself.

A wonderful gift for book lovers! I love it !

My sister ordered this book for me for my birthday. I was so excited when I opened the package and found the wonderful pages to document my reading, copy favorite quotes, list books I loved as a child (and still do), keep track of books I want to read, and more. This simple organizer is lovely! It has numerous wonderful quotes about books and reading from various sources. I took several evenings to browse through it thoroughly. I still enjoy just looking at it. The paper is of a very high quality. The colors are minimal to prevent competition with the reader's entries. If you love reading, get your hands on this little gem to store all your favorite memories of books!

Great Book for Records

I found "A Book Lover's Diary" to be a great place for keeping track of books you want to own, book club meetings and book records. It's very nicely formatted with great qoutes on books in between records. It made it a lot easier for me to remember books that I would like to read/buy later on. If you're a forgetful person like I am, this "diary" would definitely help.
