You have a passion for books, but your reading life could use a little organization.
I’ve got good news for you: It’s perfectly possible (and quite fun!) to keep track of all the bookish parts of your life…
…you just need the right tool to do it!
Perhaps this sounds like you?
>> There are SO MANY books you want to read, but you need a more elegant way to keep track of your TBR. (Scribbling titles on random scraps of paper isn’t cutting it.)
>> Your local library is your happy place, but you keep wracking up pesky overdue fines. When you’ve got half a dozen books going at once, it’s hard to remember what goes back when!
>> When you read, you frequently stumble on “gold nugget” quotes you want to keep and remember…but you never do, because you simply don’t have anywhere to save them.
>> You love loaning out your books to kindred spirits…but some of your favourites are permanently missing because you just can’t remember who borrowed it.
What if there was a way to keep all your reading notes, TBRs, book club plans, library info, and checklists all in one place?
The Book Lover’s Companion is a complete resource for all the bookish things you want to keep on paper.
When you buy The Book Lover’s Companion, you get TWO sizes with your purchase (8.5×11″ and 5.5×8.5″) PLUS 2 cover options.

FAQ
Is this a physical book that will be shipped to me in the mail?
No. The Book Lover’s Companion is a digital PDF file that you can download immediately after purchase. The file includes instructions for printing.
What size does the journal come in?
You get TWO sizes with your purchase! You’ll get complete files for the full-size (8.5×11) version and the half-size (8.5×5.5) version. Pick which one you like best, or use both! For instance, you could print the children’s read-aloud pages to keep in a full-size binder, and print the rest of the book in the half-size for more portability. Customize this to fit your reading life!
Can I share my purchase with a friend?
No, don’t do that. One purchase per user. However, you can gift your friend a copy by having the digital files sent to their email address, OR printing it and binding if for them if you want to go the extra mile(:
How do I print out The Book Lover’s Companion and put it all together?
The book includes instructions for printing and putting everything together.
The Book Lover’s Companion is designed for double-sided printing, and contains approximately one year’s worth of journaling space. (And you can always go back and re-print different sections if you need more pages!). After printing, you can bind it by getting it coil-bound at an office supply store for just a few dollars. For more flexibility, you can hole-punch the pages and put it in a 3-ring binder, or punch and bind the pages using the discbound system.
I’ve created a detailed and carefully-researched Resources page that includes recommendations for binders, hole punches, paper, and journal accessories: https://teaandinksociety.com/resources
