Did you know that President Harry S. Truman once said, “Not all readers are leaders, but all leaders are readers.” Reading is one of the greatest investments you can make in yourself. Every book has the potential to teach you something new, challenge your thinking, encourage your heart, or inspire you to take your next step. Every page helps you become a little wiser than you were the day before. Use this reading log to keep track of the books you’ve completed, the authors who have inspired you, and how you would rate each one. My hope is that this printable encourages you to read more!

My Favorite Books
Do you need some reading inspiration? I love to read personal development books. Here is a list of the books I would save if the boat was sinking. I would also love to know your favorite books. Email Kellie@HappySuccessRanchRetreats.com to let me know what I should read next.
Don’t forget you can also listen to these books on Audible. I also want to encourage you to start a book club and read these books together with others. There is something so powerful about gathering as a community and discussing. Your life will be changed if you read these books!

This reading log is designed to help you build a habit of lifelong learning. Each time you finish a book, record the title, author, the date you completed it, and give it a rating. As your list grows, you’ll have a wonderful record of the ideas, stories, and lessons that have shaped your life. Every book is an opportunity to learn something new. Challenge yourself to read at least ten minutes a day or at least one chapter a day. Little bits add up over time, which is an idea I learned from one of my favorite books, The Slight Edge by Jeff Olson. You might even choose a reading goal for the year and use this tracker to watch your progress one book at a time. There’s a second page with the list of my favorite books, and a spot at the bottom for you to add books you want to read. Be sure to write them down so you don’t forget!
