1. Build Your Own Reading Log and Wish Lists on Destiny And write your own book reviews and rate the books you’ve read and recommend books to your friends!

2. Why build lists? 1.To keep track of books you have read. Maybe you just like to remember but can’t think of the title or author later. Making a list as you go will help you recall later. 2.To keep a reading log to help with your Reading class. 3.To keep a list of sources you use for a project. 4.To print out a bibliography that might be required for a project. 5.To share with people in your group. 6.To list books you want to read later. Maybe they are checked out now and you can’t get them. Maybe you are already reading something and you don’t want to forget about a good book you spotted.
