This is helpful, Gayla - I'm interested in what you decide about Storygraph. I am looking for a clean, easy way to track my reading. My husband gave me a nice journal to use a few years back but now it is stuffed with handwritten notes. I like something that is easier to organize. I keep started TBR lists and then Books I've read by year. Goodreads -- I'm very inconsistent with that.
I love the idea of book journals and wish I would have thought to do this earlier in life. It wasn't until I joined a book club about 4-5 years ago that I started doing that. I like to use the handwritten journal format. I also like it to be simple, I just record the book, author, month read, and book format (Kindle or book purchase, library book, book club, etc.).
This last year, I also started trying to keep my journal online using Goodreads, but I have been bad about keeping that one up-to-date.
Ah yet another new habit to commit to. I have read consistently my whole life but never kept a journal. I am always impressed when someone comes to the bookclub with organized notes about the book just read. I'm not sure why I never did but this might be the gentle push needed. Thanks.
I have Google Sheets going back 13 years. It's not a fancy system but it's searchable, which is amazingly helpful sometimes, and it works for me!

I use Goodreads and Story Graph and an excell spreadsheet…..probably overkill but I’m a nerd!
Love the idea of reading logs for children! My nephew is a big reader, & will now be getting one along with his Christmas present!
