I take notes for book club books. I use Pages on my iPad. I read fast and I read a lot. If I read the book club book too soon I often forget what the book is about!! Notes are very helpful! Getting into the habit of reading my book club books right before the club starts, but still make notes!
I am a book club facilitator so I always take notes when Iām reading. If a question comes to mind I write it down immediately so I can use it in the discussion. If there are 2 narrators I use pens with different color ink to quickly know who is narrating the chapter. I stick postits in the book to locate paragraphs I want to quote. If just reading for pleasure I do not take notes.
