    My Year in Books: Printable Reading Journal and Log PDF Download

    $8.99

    My Year in Books is a printable reading journal, 16 pages including the cover, made to print at home on plain US Letter paper.

    Books slide out of your head. This keeps them. One year of what you read, what you loved, and what you are still looking for, in your own handwriting, with no app and no account.

    It suits a reader who keeps old books on purpose, and it works just as well for a stack of new ones.

    What is inside, page by page 

    • Page 1: Cover.
    • Page 2: Welcome. Books slide out of your head. This keeps them.
    • Page 3: At a glance. What you will have by the end of the year.
    • Page 4: Set up your year. A five minute quick win to get started.
    • Page 5: How to log a book in one minute. With a star key, so your ratings mean the same thing in December as they did in January.
    • Pages 6 and 7: The reading log. 14 rows per page, title and author on the left, stars and one line on the right.
    • Page 8: Best Reads. Four slots for the ones you will still be talking about.
    • Page 9: Did Not Finish. A reasons checklist and a log, because putting a book down tells you something too.
    • Page 10: The book I am still looking for. One page for the one that got away.
    • Page 11: Wear in plain English. A condition table for old books.
    • Page 12: Copies worth keeping. A place to note the ones you would buy again.
    • Page 13: Five ways to keep your reading year going.
    • Page 14: My year in one page. The whole year, summed up.
    • Page 15: Looking for the next one. A pointer to the shop's book collection.
    • Page 16: Printing this one out. The settings written down, so you do not have to remember them.

    Three files in one download

    • Color version. The brand palette, deep slate blue gray, cream, and warm brown, set in Besley, Lora, and Jost. The page background stays white paper.
    • Black and white version. The same 16 pages, ready for a printer that is low on color.
    • Fillable color version. 145 type in fields, so you can fill it on a computer or tablet before you print it.

    How it works

    Your download is ready the moment you buy. Nothing ships and there is nothing to wait for.

    Print at 100 percent, at Actual Size rather than Fit to Page, on US Letter paper, single sided. Print only the pages you need. If your year runs long, print extra log pages.

    The two print files work anywhere you can print a PDF. The fillable file gives you type in fields to fill on a computer or tablet.

    For personal use. Do not resell, share, or redistribute.

    Good to Know Before You Buy

    Yes. Every photo on this page is the actual item you will receive. Not a stock photo, not a similar copy. What you see is what ships.

    Honestly. This is vintage, so expect some age. When I find wear, writing, stains, loose pages, chips, or missing pieces, I note them and show them in the photos. Some marks add character. Some are just flaws. I tell you which is which so you can decide if this is the right one for you.

    With care. Old books and fragile pieces are wrapped and boxed so they arrive the way they left me. Careful packing is one of the things buyers mention most in their reviews. Orders of $35 or more ship free.

    Probably not. Everything here is one of a kind, and I rarely find the same item twice. Once it sells, it is gone. Vintage does not restock neatly.
