三. 日記
I've written nearly one hundred thousand words on Jianshu about my thoughts after reading book reviews since half a year. I guess it's a great fortune for me, because it makes me think a lot and record my life. Plus, I'm always moved, whenever the friends in the reading groups encourage each other.
