Book review cards in 3 x 5 and 4 x 6 inch sizes for a reading card box

Book review cards sized exactly like 3 x 5 in and 4 x 6 in index cards, so each book you read gets a small card of its own in a neat card box. The set has 32 undated pages printed on US Letter and A4 sheets and arrives as an instant PDF download.

Every one of the ten designs is included in both sizes and has crop marks for clean cutting. There are also two styles of backs (lines or a dot grid), six tabbed genre dividers, and a short guide to how the card system fits together. Nothing is shipped.

Why readers love these book review cards

When you close a book, you fill in one card with the stars, the mood, your thoughts and a quote you loved. Months later, you still remember what that story meant to you. Quick log cards fit nine books on the 4 x 6 size and seven on the 3 x 5 size, while To be read cards hold your wish list with a priority and the name of whoever recommended it.

Quote cards save the lines you want to keep, and Character cards remember the people who moved you. For everything else in a reading life there are Series tracker, Book club and Did not finish cards, plus a 52 book card where one circle gets filled per finished title. Sort them all behind the genre dividers and a tiny personal library takes shape, one you will enjoy browsing.

Who these reading cards are for

• Readers who finish a story and lose the details a few months on
• Index card fans who would rather keep a card box than a bulky reading journal
• Book club members who like to have questions and thoughts ready before they meet
• Anyone chasing a 52 book goal or following a long series

Card sizes, design and printing

• No dates, so you can begin on any day of the year
