Book Reviews of Reading Group Journal: Notes in the Margin

Book Review: Charming Journal
Summary: 5 Stars

This little book is charming! The authors - creators- have selected wonderful quotes about why reading and especially shared reading matters and these quotes are sprinkled throughout the journal. I am giving this book to all my friends who love to read and to the English teacher at my daughter's school.

I just wish the journal were bigger and the print could have been a bit darker so I can read it at night but otherwise- thanks for a great book.

Summary of Reading Group Journal: Notes in the Margin

Reading group members show up at meetings with their books highlighted and dog-eared. Some carry battered spiral notebooks; others dig through their handbags for scribbled notes. Reading Group Journal now offers a handy and handsome alternative. Filled with useful information and stimulating quotes, this attractive notebook also provides ample space to record all the practical information needed to participate in a reading group.

An introduction providing tips about how to make the group both pleasurable and productive is followed by inspiring lists of recommended reading and winners of important literary prizes, from the National Book Award to the Booker. Additional pages provide places to jot down names and addresses, meeting schedules, and information about the next book to read. Each book read by the group is allotted several pages for note taking and record keeping, with plenty of room for personal reflections and group observations. And finally, there are fill-in pages for the reader to use in creating a personal record: a list of books to read, a log of books already read, a record of books lent, a compendium of interesting words, and a selection of memorable quotes.
