I was so excited to get this book in the mail to review. It's an amazing journal and resource book full of all sorts of great information. There are 6 great quote filled indexes titled Awards & Notable Lists, To Read, Journal Pages, Recommendations, Loaner Lists, and Resources.

This guide-slash-journal to middle grade and young adult literature is an admirable compilation of recommendations and reader interaction. Writing a guidebook for a field that literally changes by the day is no easy feat, and while I had some issues with some parts of the journal, I still commend Rachelle for taking on this monumental task, and would recommend RRR as a great gift to give a bookworm.

This is a fantastic book - more of a reading companion - by Rachelle Knight (goodreads author too!). It's essentially a journal to keep track of your books, a real life version of goodreads, but with much more to it. It's loaded with lists, like National Book Award winners (which is great since I have a collection for my daughters of signed first edition NBA winners growing), Pulitzer, Man Booker, etc.... And it allows you to check off whether you've read them or not, want to read, etc and g

This is a brilliant book for book lovers—-how smart of Rachelle to come up with this organizing and fun journal! Its spiral-bound format with tabs renders this book practical and easy to use. There are six tabs indicating six sections: Awards and Notable Lists, To Read, Journal Pages, Recommendations, Loaner Lists, and Resources.

What a cool journal this is! It is comprised of six sections - Awards and Notables Lists, To Read, Journal Pages, Recommendations, Loaner Lists, Resources. My favorite section is the Awards and Notables Lists. Packed full of every book award you can think of and all the winners. There are even spaces for the next couple of years to write in the winners. You also have columns to check if you own it or have read it as well as some others.

I have a confession to make: despite the fact that I live, breathe, eat, and even dream about books, I have never owned a reading journal. It wasn't until two years ago when I started book blogging that I even thought about reviewing the wonderful (and not so wonderful) books that I had read. Up until now, when I went to write a review I sat at my computer with the book currently being reviewed in front of me, hoping for inspiration on how to convey my thoughts beyond "I liked it", or

Read, Remember, Recommend by Rachelle Rogers Knight is an excellent organizing journal for passionate readers, but maybe not for book bloggers. As an avid reader with a to-read list in the hundreds, there are not enough pages in this book to house all of my reading wants and needs. An online version of this book may have been a better product, allowing readers to continuously add pages to their loaner and recommendation lists. . . but then wouldn't we call it Good Reads or LibraryThing?

Some of the great features are:

So, after seeing this book on so many blogs, I very much wanted my own copy of this book. Luckily for me, I won this one through a giveaway on Rachelle's website, Bibliobabe, and as soon as this book arrived home, I have been hooked to it. It is one amazing journal, and I'm sure every book lover will be glad to have it in his or her collection.

I read about this in the Costco magazine and it sounded like a very cool book, and it is. It is a compendium of book award and notable lists and not only list the winners of each award (Pulitzer, National Book Award, Man Booker Prize, etc.) but also the "runners-up" for each award. Other lists include Oprah Book Club titles, Best Books for Discussion from Book Club Classics, Readable Classics, and even Target Club Picks, and there are pages with websites of all things books and a lis

فكرته شبيهة إلى حد كبير بكتاب "كيف تبني ثقافتك"، لكن الكاتبة لم تكتفي بسرد أسماء الكتب التي تميزت محليا/عالميا (أعطيت جوائز مثلا)، إنما عرضتها في جداول. كل سطر يحوي اسم الكاتب، اسم الكتاب، و مربعات تسمح للقارئ التفاعل مع القائمة (أملكه، أنصح به، سوف أقرأه، و خيار رابع نسيته).
فكرة القائمة نفسها أعجبتني. ممكن تطبيقها في صفوف القراءة، ليتتبع الطلاب إنجازهم في الحصص بشكل ملموس. More...

I won this through Goodreads FirstReads. What a great book! I love the Book Lists and Loaner Lists. Reason being I'm always looking for new books to read and I have a horrible memory when it comes to loaning things to people. The To Read section would be useful if I didn't use Goodreads for that purpose. ;) The journal will be useful for my book club reads, especially since I tend to read them so far in advance and can never remember specifics of what I thought of the books.

One thing my mom has always done is keep a notebook full of the book titles she reads each year. She told me to do this as a kid, but of course, I didn't listen, and now I wish I had lists of books that I read as a child and teen. Now I keep a journal, but it's no where as extensive and detailed as this one.

I find it hard to rate and review a journal, but I'll give it my best shot. This journal is an interesting idea, which is why I said yes when the publisher offered it to me. At first flip through, I thought wow this is pretty awesome. A good portion of the book is dedicated to awards and lists. These include The National Book Award, Aesop Award, Urban Lit, Harry Potter read-alikes, and Fairy Tale retellings. I feel this section is a tad overwhelming. There doesn't seem to be a particular o

Read, Remember, Recommend is the perfect journal to organize all my must read books and keep notes on some of my favorite books/passages. All the book lists included encourage me to read more (I love checking off a book once I finished reading it!) and introduce me to books I probably wouldn't have read otherwise read.
I have owned my Read, Remember, Recommend for almost a year and I still have fun exploring the lists and marking down what books I want to read next.

Highly rated, but I give it a solid "Meh." Basically just a list of books that have won various prizes. All fiction, and that was not at all clear from the book's official description. I read a lot of non-fiction so I was disappointed that 1/2 of all books (assuming F/NF 1:1) weren't covered at all.
