The only problem is I'm always reading more than one book at once. A partial solution has been to record a list of the books in the front of the notebooks, that way if i'm looking for a quote, i know which notebook to refer to.

I too am a sucker for cute little notebooks, so there's certainly no shortage for me to choose from! :) I love this idea, and I want to do something similar, but I’m having trouble getting it going.

I'm like Melissa in that I jot it down electronically which doen't have the same feel, and I normally don't drop the book and run to the computer to jot it down, I have to conjure it all up after the read.

What I do is keep a bookmark. One bookmark (tri-folded 8x10 cardstock) where I keep track of the titles I read by month. Inside the tri-fold I keep paper where I keep notes (thoughts)on the current read. I take those notes and write my reviews for either the blog or my own keeping. Okay...my explanation is clear as mud. Point being, I use a form of a "notebook" via my "bookmark" to keep track of my thoughts while reading.

I generally do it on a site like goodreads and on my review website (legalmama.today.com). I tend to reserve my handwritten journal for day to day stuff and struggles that I've had.
