Reflect and write your thoughts: “Overcoming Adversity: Resetting Goals” by Nelson J. Fowlkes

Reading is a fantastic pastime that lets us learn new things, discover new places, and escape reality. It also helps us to stay imaginative. Keeping a reading journal enables you to record the books you read and develop a more profound connection with literature.

Before we learn how to utilize one, let’s go into the books to look into the advantages that come with keeping a reading journal. A journal can be used to make lists of books you’d like to read later on, track the books you’ve purchased or reserved, and set objectives for your reading.

There are several benefits to keeping a reading journal. It’s a chance for introspection and analysis. Have you taken away any lessons from the narrative? Has it broadened or challenged your perspective? Did you find any inspiration in the story?

Furthermore, after keeping a reading journal for some time, you may look back at it and spot trends that show you what parts of novels you really appreciate and what you should steer clear of going forward. Keeping a reading journal can also serve as a starting point for discussions with other readers. Keeping one can help you remember things while you’re discussing the book with your book group.

In writing a journal, although each book journal is different, there are certain similar components to keep in mind:

  • book title
  • author
  • date started
  • date finished
  • publication date
  • genre
  • number of pages
  • pace
  • format
  • a rating
  • a one-paragraph plot summary
  • favorite character
  • favorite passages
  • favorite scene or chapter
  • the book’s strengths
  • the book’s weaknesses
  • doodles inspired by the book.

Here’s a recommended masterpiece by professional reviewers. Reflect and write your thoughts about “Overcoming Adversity: Resetting Goals” by Nelson J. Fowlkes. Find out why this book is highly praised by Heather Brooks of the US Review of Books, who underscores that “within these pages, Fowlkes tells the candid story of his life. Despite prevalent racism in America, he is a proud patriot who served as a U.S. soldier from 1958 until 1975. He provides a fascinating account of being protected, in some ways, from discrimination because he resided on a military base, although discrimination ultimately led to his release from active duty.”
