Journaling with Questions - a review of "Q&A a Day"

Post by gbcmars »

Here's an interesting idea, although you're going to have to write small. The book is called "Q&A a Day" and it is put out by the Potter Style imprint of Crown Publishing Group. Every day has a question associated with it. Each page has a single date with five spaces underneath (you fill in the year), so you answer the same question on the same day for five years. When I asked to review this book, I thought I'd get some huge coffee-table size thing, but it's tiny - about 4x6x1 inches - and hardcover, with gilt-edged pages. Very classy. It would fit in a purse if you so chose.

No matter how cute the book is, though, the important thing is the quality of the questions. Here are the first five:
January 1: What is your mission?
January 2: Can people change?
January 3: What are you reading right now?
January 4: What was the best part of today?
January 5: What was the last restaurant you went to?
Most of the questions are pretty good, thought-provoking without being grim, light without being stupid, and it will be interesting to see how answers change through several years, although I thought "What was the last fruit you ate?" kind of silly, and there's no where near enough space for "How do you want to be remembered?"

Still, this is a project I'd like to sink my teeth into. It's March 8 today. What was the last music I listened to?

I received this book from Blogging for Books in exchange for a review.

This sounds like an interesting little book. I enjoy journaling, so I'll have to get a copy of this for myself! However, I tend to get long-winded, so I might have to pull out my notebook to answer some of those questions! :)

Thanks for sharing this!
