Everytime I kill a monster I gain a count towards knowledge of that monster. I've gotten enough kills(bottom corner shows 3/3), which should be the same as reading a book on that monster. However, when I go into my journal, it doesn't show any entries on that monster and I still need to read the book. Is this a bug? How do I fix it?

The game manual states
You can only upgrade those items that contain slots for runes and enhancements. When you own such a sword or armor and an upgrade, enter the equipment panel and drag the upgrade in question to a chosen item - it will be upgraded. You cannot undo an upgrade.
The upgrade slots appear as circles to the left of the item on the inventory screen. They are open if the slot is unused and filled if an enhancement is present.
(This weapon has an empty slot)
(This armor has been enhanced)
Mutagens boost your abilities which allow a mutagen slot.
You can loot one from a defeated enemy or you can create one as a byproduct of alchemy.
To apply a mutagen, go into quick menu and choose meditation (Default key: CTRL), then select the Character option and find an ability that has a mutagen slot (list of abilities with mutagen slots). Select the ability, and choose Mutate (Enter). Select the desired mutagen from the list and choose Mutate Ability (Space).
The mutation cannot be reversed.
Mutagens usually take one of three forms: lesser, basic and greater. Each of these forms raises the character’s statistics, but by a different amount:
- Critical effects mutagen: Increases the chance of causing critical effect.
- Range mutagen: Increases the range of the Aard, Igni and Axii Signs.
- Vitality mutag: Increases vitality.
- Power mutagen: Increases sword damage.
- Strength mutagen: Increases damage reduction.
- Concentration mutagen: Increases Sign damage.
- Madness mutagen: +2 armor, +5 vitality
- Enhancement mutagen: Increases adrenaline generation on hitting foe

A bit to late to the party, but I think you might be looking into the wrong place. The information acquired via fighting will not be in the journal, but in your character attributes screen. One of the buttons on the right will show you your "monster knowledge".
