Reading

Reading books be they non-fiction or fiction is one of life's pleasures. It gets me away from a computer or TV screen, away from distractions and notifications.

I'm not a fast or as fast a reader as some people. I often get so absorbed in a book or a series of books I forget the title of the book I'm reading. 

To take the strain out of know what books I've read or haven't read yet I created a few different Filofax inserts which I hope you find useful too.

Yes I know there are websites and apps for this sort of thing, but a Filofax insert removes the privacy and data sharing concerns.

A4/A5 size inserts:

• Book Review - .doc .pdf 
• A5 Reading List - .doc .pdf
• A4 Reading List - .doc .pdf

Personal size inserts:

• Book Review - .doc .pdf
• Reading List - .doc .pdf

Personal size on A4 plain paper:

• Reading Log .docx .pdf

Personal size pages on pre-punched A4 paper:

• Book Review
• Book Review + Notes
• Reading List

Please note these should also work on plain paper and then cut and punch to size. 

What books are you reading at the moment? 

Reading Log

In our current situation (2020) I'm sure you are all doing more reading than normal. Well may be not,  but I am sure you might find this insert of some use anyway.

This was a design requested by @lavenderlovelifeuk one of our readers, I just created the insert for her.  Here is her description on how she will be using the insert.

Have you ever felt overwhelmed with article after article coming into your inbox from your University tutors? I did. So, I came up with a solution and designed the right Reading Log inserts to keep track of it all and my friend Steve turned my dream into a reality.

Here is how it works.
No. - Coloured. To track the order in which the article came in. If there is more than one article in the same email, all of them will have the same No. and colour. If more articles were received on the same day but in a second email, they will have a different No. and colour.Date - When the article was received.
Due - Date when it will be required, if there is one.
Title - Name of the article in the same colour of its No.
Pages - Total number of pages in the article.
Notes - To keep track of the last page I read.

And there I have it. Visibility.

The design has been created as Personal size on A4, so just print it out double sided and then cut out the pages to suit Personal size and punch. Remember to print at 100% and don't scale it.

You can download the template in .docx and .pdf

You can find other file templates in all sizes on our 'Files' page here on Philofaxy.
