Comment on @ bookstodon I ordered a Leuchtturm 1917 notebook and will probably get i
jarulf@mstdn.social 6 days ago @imaginaryuncle @bookstodon And it'll be nice to flip through old pages to jog my memory of what I've read and thought.
I'll add a few trackers too so I have an excuse to play with coloured pens, but nothing too fancy. I've seen people add end of month stats from The StoryGraph, and I might do that. I'm sure the whole thing will evolve over time, assuming I don't give up. It should be something fun, not feel like a chore.

@jarulf @bookstodon Ooh adding the end of month stats from StoryGraph in the analog journal is a fun idea. Do they print it out and stick it in their books?
@imaginaryuncle @bookstodon yeah, I liked that idea too. I think most just draw trackers and circles and fill them in, more or less prettily, but I'm sure some print them out.
I got one of those mini printers that uses zink paper, I'll use that for book covers to add a bit of colour to the page as well as be a quick visual reminder of the book when I flip through. I may even use it for my index cards.
Speaking of, since I haven't got my journal yet I should work on my card catalogue today.
@jarulf @bookstodon I’ve been thinking about getting a mini printer. Which do you have and has it been working well for you! Enjoy working on your card catalog!
@imaginaryuncle @bookstodon I got the Canon Zoemini 2 ('Ivy' in the US, I believe), but I've only had it a couple of days so far. Seems good enough for me, but I've seen some reviews that think the one from HP might be a bit better.
Thanks! I have to do some really boring chores first, and am unsurprisingly putting those off...
And I have these nice people to chat with about books and stuff too ... ;-) That's important too!
