Monthly wrap up
Yearly favorite book bracket (like March madness)

DNF list and why
Track books that you bought

Book predictions

Sometimes you can find discussion questions or you can make up your own questions in case you were to ever discuss the book
Notes as you read
I use a combination of all the above when I journal. It helps with my reviews too. You can make them yourself, buy them with prompts to fill in, or buy printable pages. You can do a digital, paper, or even an app to journal. I prefer some printable pages and some I like to do myself. I also keep a few Excel spreadsheets and use online trackers like Goodreads and StoryGraph.
