For some time now I've been keeping a book journal. It was just supposed to be an exercise in writing. I've tried to keep diaries and journals before but I've never been able to keep up with them. For whatever reason I've actually been able to keep the book journal going. I think it may have something to do with how informal I've kept it. No two entries have the same sort of focus, just whatever inspires me in the immediate aftermath of the book. Writing down my thoughts has also helped me transition from the book back into the world (or directly into my next book, which is often the case).
I've shared some of what I've been writing with a few close friends and they've urged me to attempt a blog. I don't think I have any great insight into the books I choose to read but my friends thought the wider world might be interested in what I have to say. I guess we'll find out.
I've just started a new book and will post my thoughts when I've finished.
