Lou, I'm sorry to say that I hardly read anymore. So I don't merit a book log, but yours inspires me. Thanks for all the juicy recommendations and the mention!
Thank you for another great mixed bag, Lou and adding to my already impossibly long list of things to read. So two things: I was shocked to read that "almost no-one finishes The Artists' Way" because I didn't finish it and I thought it was just me! It has a unique place in my category of books as "The book I didn't finish that influenced me the most." And #2, I, too, have a book log on Notion. Except, I suck at keeping it up to date, fail to rate them, and forget to add my impressions immediately after reading them. So, note to self, book is not finished until you add a few notes.
"The book I didn't finish that influenced me the most" <<< LOVE That! I probably have one or two (or more) in that category too. And if I'd had a book log sooner, I might remember what those books are 😂. (That sounds like a good topic for our Lounge Chat BTW, thanks for the inspo!)
I keep an analog book log which is just a chronological list of the books I have read. Been doing that since 1997. However, I also recently started using Obsidian as my knowledge management system where I can keep all my notes and thoughts in one place. I have been slowly adding my books into that database as well. I think it will work well, similar to Notion, where I can record my thoughts immediately after reading.
Thank you for the mention, Lou.

Thank you, Lou, for the link love this week. I also keep a very casual book log in Notion. Works for me!
You're welcome, Jenna. I think "casual" is the key for me. Keeping it simple or else, I'll never maintain it.
