Reading list mind map template
A reading list mind map that sorts books into reading now, up next, someday and finished, with why each is on the list and where the recommendation came from.
Who it is for
- A reader with a pile of recommendations and no idea what to read next.
- A student planning the reading for a course or a dissertation.
- A book club choosing titles for the year.
How to use it
- Open the template and write the year or the theme of your list in the central topic.
- Move every book you mean to read into Up next or Someday, and keep only one or two in Reading now.
- When you finish a book, move it to Finished with one line on what you took from it.
