"'Tis the good reader that makes the good book" - Ralph Waldo Emerson

If you've ever sat up into the small hours to find out whodunnit, whiled away an afternoon with a romance, or ignored a ringing phone (or missed your bus stop) to stay in the world of your latest novel., you're lucky enough to have lost yourself in a book.

For many, reading is a constant pleasure in an uncertain and stressful world. Celebrate books and reading, and record your book group's discoveries, in Book Notes Journal. There's lots of space for your Reading Notes --so you can look back and see what you loved (or maybe hated) this time last year, or compare what you thought of an author's last novel with his or her latest --plus pages to note down Recommended Reads (and who suggested them). Favourite Quotes, Books Borrowed and Lent (so you can share your treasured volumes with confidence) and space for useful resources (libraries, book group members, and bookstores). Along the way, stimulating words from famous writers will give you pause for thought as you fill it in.
