Protocol logs every book. This is the system, printed. Use the whole journal from January, or print only the pages you need as often as you need them.
House Standard 32: The to-be-read pile is a list, not a lifestyle.
What’s inside
- The Year in Spines: set a reading goal and color in a book spine for every book you finish.
- Reading Log: one line per book, with dates, format, pages and rating.
- Book Review: a full page for the books you want to remember.
- To Be Read: every book you swear you’ll get to, who recommended it and where you’ll find it.
- Series Tracker: which book you’re on and when the next one comes out.
- Book Bingo, Deep Shelf Edition: harder prompts for readers who finished the easy card.
- Twelve Months of Books: a favorite from every month.
- My Year in Books: your numbers, compiled into an annual report.
Who it’s for
Readers who want to remember what they read, readers working through long series, and readers who have bought the same paperback twice. Protocol has records of that happening.
