If it wasn't so damn unusable, I would recommend 'formatexpr':
:h 'fex

But you can also go with a user command:

com! -bar -range=% GqLogBook <line1>,<line2>call s:GqLogBook()

func! s:GqLogBook() range
exec a:firstline. "mark ["
exec a:lastline. "mark ]"
'[,']s/^\[.*]$/&\r/
normal! '[gq']
'[,']s/^\[.*]\zs\n$//
endfunc

This is supposed to work by temporarily adding empty lines below entry titles
before invoking the normal formatting command.
