Do you have any book-related collections in your BuJo, other than books read? Do you use your journal to summarize any info you find interesting/relevant in the book?

I had a reading log when I was working in an A5 notebook. It was just a start and finish date. I liked seeing how fast or slow I was reading a book. I've downsized to a pocket size so the reading log was discarded. I usually mark up the book. Favorite quotes get put into the notepad app so I can reference them any time I need them. I also don't read a lot of books that warrant note taking.
In my journal I just have a collection with books read. I started recently actively using Goodreads to track my readings. I read a lot of non-fiction books so I usually write a brief summary on Evernote and make tags with the topics the book talked about. I also take pics of the cover and sometimes of some pages that have something visual I want to retain. If the book covers several topics that are relevant for my work or coaching practice, I create an index with the main topics on the 1st page of the book. If I just got 1 or 2 ideas from the book but that I want to 'memorize', I write it down in a notebook I have just for summaries of things I read or listen to, take a pic and upload it to Evernote.
I have a couple of journals dedicated to taking notes from the books I read. I usually read a chapter, marking up physical books or highlighting kindle books, and then take notes on the chapter. this helps me to refer back to books that I have to return, and lets me quote them without having to get the book back. :)
I do a separate book journal so i can keep my bookish thoughts together. I font normally keep my bujos or planners once completed but i want to keep my book notes. :)
I have a book journal, where I keep my start and end dates for books and my thoughts about them. I'm not terribly amazing at updating it though :(
