I'm basically an influencer now bc after 2.5 years of watching me use mine, my mom has finally started a book/reading journal 💅
#she's enjoying it so far so thats nice!#i maintain that keeping some kind of log of your feelings abt the books you read beyond a star rating is a valuable practice#i dont even rate my books in my journal and its nice looking back and not having my memories of them pinned down to a number#i mean. i do still star rate them on 3 different apps. but my POINT IS#reviewing something even (or especially) if youre the only one who will see it helps you engage with the text on a deeper level#which doesnt mean all my reviews are long or laborious like literally sometimes it's just 'wow! hated that ❌' and i move on#but that tells me something when i flip back to it months or years later and its really interesting#its the same w annotating#there's a page early on in my copy of fellowship of the ring where i went on a righteously angry rant#and literally the next year i wrote 'idk what tf i was so mad abt' next to it#theres a piece of me in there! it was the truth in the moment! thats important to see sometimes!#anyway its late and im tedtalking but like. if you ever read books please jot down some notes somewhere when you finish them even in an app#disgruntled octopus
