Admit One Reading Journal – Printable PDF + Digital Book Journal for iPad (A4, 30 Books, Hyperlinked)

Better questions than “5 stars.”

Admit One is a printable reading journal and digital book journal built around a simple idea: one book, one page. Instead of rating a book and moving on, you record what you actually thought, felt, and learned.

Use it as a printable PDF or as a digital planner-style journal on your iPad or tablet. It works with any app that supports writing on PDFs, so you can handwrite with a stylus or add text boxes where your app allows it.

Two ways to use it

Print it

• A4 PDF, ready to print at home or at a print shop
• Bind it, punch it for a ring binder, or keep it as loose sheets
