QOTD: Do you take notes while reading?⁣ ⁣ I’m usua QOTD: Do you take notes while reading?⁣ ⁣ I’m usually too engrossed in the story to take notes while I read, so I usually just brain dump into my reading journal afterwards.⁣ ⁣ But even then, it’s usually just my thoughts.⁣ ⁣ But for the Guild Hunter series, I’m trying to jot down a “short” summary about what happened.⁣ ⁣ I have a goldfish memory and it’s a long series (soon to be 18 books!)… I don’t always have time to reread them all in order to remember what happened.⁣ ⁣ And I wouldn’t have to reread 16 books if I’d kept detailed notes from the first time I read them.⁣ ⁣ Not that I’m not enjoying rereading them, it’s just a LOT of books to reread - almost 25% of my 2026 reading goal.⁣ ⁣ How do you prepare for an upcoming sequel?⁣ ⁣ —⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ ⚔ challenges⁣ ⁣ #AllTheBooksJan26 [recommend a book series]⁣ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ #booklover #bookwormlife #readersofinstagram #readingjournal
