I love that you have a section for Advanced Reader Copies (ARCs) in your journal ☺
It's always fun to have a section for the unique parts of my reading habits. I know not everyone reads ARCs, but I enjoy the thrill of reading early and sharing the hype with my network. I don't read so many, so a page like this is a great way to remember the ones I did.
Your journals are amazing!! I love how creative they are 😊
Thank you so much! It's been so fun to dive into creativity this year. Highly recommend pulling out all the art supplies and just going for it!
Both of your journals are so pretty and creative, love them so much!💕 (I'm reading the new Alice Feeney book at the moment, I can totally see why you liked it, can't wait to figure out what will be the end of this story...:)
OMG! I am so excited for you to finish it! LMK what you think at the end 🤭
This is absolutely beautiful. It would take me two years to make one year's worth of a journal like this! Definitely inspired. New subscriber.
Thanks for subscribing! So glad to have you here. It's my first year really intentionally journalling and I just love it. excited to do it again in 2025!
Loved this flip through! So many fun reading adventures!!!!!!
It’s been a good year for reading! 😊
Your journals are magical! It was so nice to see all these pages once again! Your spread for The Cruel Prince is out of this world! Thanks for being my inspiration and congrats on 3k!
Thank you so much! I love those spreads too. So whimsical!
Wow this is beautiful! I love how you decorated these pages. I came for just the flip through but stayed for the whole video. Will be checking out your other videos!
Yay! I’m glad you found it entertaining.
Love your journal spreads! By any chance can you share a link the printer paper you use for your spreads?
Of course! There are links to two types of paper in my description, along with all my other favorite supplies. The thicker one is great for making doors an pop outs, and the thin one is perfect for everything else. 🫶🏻 Happy Journalling!
Stunning!!! ❤
Thank you! I’m glad you liked it! 😊
This is absolutely the most stunning and creative book journal I have ever seen. Thank you for sharing your creativity with me.
Thanks so much! It is my most favorite journal I've made. 😊 Check back soon to see me break it in with my January spreads.
I love the idea of the map of prompts and rewarding yourself with stamps 😊
Reading challenges are so fun for me! Its a little much to keep them all straight sometimes, but I love a good rewards system 🤩 Are you doing any fun reading challenges this year?
@@manda_made Not so much a fun challenge - but I'm aiming to read more in general 😅
@ that sounds fun to me!!! 😂
Love this! Will be coming back to it to help me set up my reading journal this year. I didn’t see a link in the description for the Washi tape sticker roll shown at the beginning of the video. I’d love to be able to purchase it but can’t find it
Sorry for my belated reply! Could you describe the specific washi you liked? I can probably find a link for you. 🫶🏻
This is Amazing!!! I love it! 😍
Thank you! I had so much fun creating this one!
Where do you get all your square scrapbooking papers?
I bought a set of origami papers at my local craft store (daiso).
Great video! I love the little “mini books” you read in a genre with the favorite on the cover. I saw your 2025 reading journal and was so inspired I decided to make one of my own. I don’t journal but your ideas seem so easy to keep up with and I am finding this to be very helpful. I would love to join a Fantasy book club online for this year. Just the idea of a book club with real people and not just Kindle and Good-books recommendations excites me. You are very inspiring ❤
That is so awesome! I’m glad my journal has inspired you to start your own! I hope you find a great fantasy book club too. Bookclubs are the best. I hope you have so much fun with your journal!
Phenomenal ❤❤❤
love the advent calendar idea!! how do you hear about/find out about the different readathons? i think i’d like to do one, but honestly, i have no idea how they work, so i would need one that really explains things. great video as always!! ps boris is adorable!!
There are so many types of readathons. If you search within RUclips for "Readathon" and then filter to videos posted within a few weeks, that is the way I find the options. Easier readathons would be a self-guided prompt style. Your given all the prompts up front and you read from them throughout the month. Different creators will have fun themes. One I'm looking forward to is Forensic February. Then there are more team based / story ones typically hosted on Discord. The hosts always go into great detail on how to play. Some favorites last year were Magical Readathon (All year), Realmathon (March) and Escape the Readathon (May)
This was stunning and inspiring.❤
Thanks so much! I’m glad it gave you some inspiration! 😊
i love this format for a wrap-up!
It's the only way I can show all my favorites. Haha
Wonderful as ever! (Haven't watched the video yet)
I love the 'places I went to' page 😍 What do you do if a book is set in different places? Do you write them all in or just the 'main' one? The Wager and The Cruel Prince have been on my tbr for a while oops. I take this as a sign to read them this year :D Choosing a favourite for each genre is such a good idea. I'll keep it in mind for this year. Hopefully I'll read few different genres and find something I'll like because so far I was not very lucky haha. Inez and Kaz yes yes yes
I wrote both places down if a book had a few, but I would only write London once, even if 5 of my books took place there. (I’m noticing I wrote Maine twice by mistake).
@@manda_made ohhh thanks! I might still add it to my reading journal :D I have one more page I want to add so why not 2 while I'm at it 😅
Lovely video. Such great ideas. Loved it
Thanks so much 😊
📚💙🎉
Happy Reading!
You def have some of the best ideas on your reading journal that Ive seen from so many vids Ive watched the past few weeks. I got Daughter of the Pirate King after seeing your 2025 reading journal vid and am about to start reading it. I wrote down 6 more from the books mentioned here. As for me Ive been loving T Kingfisher these last several months. My fav KindleUnlimited find was The Divine Shallows by Alexandra M Tran. Its a fae fantasy book and I believe its the authors first book published and I hope her book gets enough love that she continues writing. Im not good at writing descriptions but maybe someone sees this comment and looks it up.
So happy you enjoyed the awards! I hope you love Daughter of the Pirate King as much as I do! I will check out your recommendations. What is your favorite T Kingfisher book? I still need to try one of their books.
@manda_made Nettle and Bone was the first one I tried that got me hooked.
As a proud kiwi I would rather us be left off maps then placed in the Indian ocean (or elsewhere) hahaha. It's like saying oh i'll just go ahead and place America in the Indian ocean just so it fits in with the other continent's, it's a weird design layout from the map creators 😂😂 (I have seen your comments about why you think it was placed there, and I know you didn't design it but oh my, it was all i could look at and think about, and it was the first thing I noticed when you brought it out hahahha) Love your designs and layouts though!
Now its all I see when I look at maps! I gotta check where NZ is. 😂 Would love to visit someday. Every photo I see is the prettiest thing.
Those waterfall pages are gorgeous! 🩵
Thank you! Waterfall pages are so fun. I need to use them more often.
So perfect! Love your journal so much!✨ I immediately put The Cat Who Saved Books and the new Alice Feeney on my tbr, both sounds so good! Also excited for you to read Throne of Glass for the first time, hope you will love it!💜
So far so good! I feel like the first book was a lot of set up, but I'm really enjoying it.
Hi Manda. Nice Cape Town shoutout. I live in Cape Town, proud 🇿🇦. I love your channel. Your spreads are so well done. Im shamelessly going to copy them😊.Thank you for mentioning the prepping you do for all your videos. Your channel was an instant sub for me. Happy reading😊
Amazing! I love making friends from around the globe. Hugs from Los Angeles! 🌍
As always, this is completely gorgeous!!!
Thank you! This was a fun one.
This was sooo good! I loved your set up so much!😍
Thanks, I had so much fun making this one! 🤩
This was so neat! Thanks for sharing!
Funnn! & the stars definitely added a nice finish ✨
Indeed. Sparkles make everything better! ✨
Advent calendar tutorial was THE BEST PART!
Yay! So glad you enjoyed it! 🖤 I hope it made sense... hahaha
Fiona Davis is my absolute favorite author!
I read The Spectacular by her and LOVED IT. Lions of 5th Avenue was my second favorite, and the Address was fun too. Looking forward to The Stolen Queen!
@ The Address is my fave, followed by Lions.
I was waiting for this video to gain some inspo for how to incorporate the advent in mine and you've done such a great job!!!!
Yay! So glad you liked it. I loved the theme that G created, so I had to use as many elements as possible. 🎄💜
Really amazing! Thanks for the advent calendar tutorial I wanted to do that idea but couldn’t think of and easy way to! I got the shadow dagger as well
I want to purchase an actual dagger now as a keepsake.. is that weird? hahaha 😁 good luck with your advent!
Perfect! As always :D Origami paper is such a good idea! I am very intrigued by Don't let the forest in's cover :D I was so overwhelmed in December I did not even had the chance to look up the prompts, hopefully next year :D
Thanks friend! We posted our December wraps on the same day. Twins! 🤩 and I hear you! December was so busy with all the holiday celebrations and hosting family. I really enjoy a cozy December morning with a novella though, so I picked up several this month. Don't Let the Forest In was great! I loved the writing, especially for a YA book, and while I'm not a big horror fan, this one really captivated me. And the cover is GORGEOUS. I'm so mad I didn't buy the edition with the green edges when I saw it. 😂 Hoping that because her first book was a hit, her next book Hazelthorn will get some special editions.
I loved the layout you did for light fall! So beautiful and inspiring! How did you save the pics from instagram and then size them so perfectly!
I just took a screenshot on my phone, and then brought them into Canva so I could get the size I wanted.
I love love love this. Your reading journal is absolute goals xx
Thank you so much!! I'm glad my journal gives you some inspiration 🥰
Loved the spread! Will you continue your Readathon videos in 2025 as well?
I will not be continuing the readathon videos, but I would still like to incorporate announcements somehow. I may shift that to instagram or my community tab, but haven't decided quite yet. Be sure to check out Pages with Paige's channel though! She also does readathon round-ups.
Beautiful work 😊
Thanks, I had so much fun making this one! ✨
This is amazing! I'm doing a Hobbit themed reading journal. Did you print on off white paper?
So fun!!! I love the Hobbit. My headers are printed on off white cardstock, and then also on white printer paper when I ran out. After I distressed it, they looked pretty similar. The cardstock was easier to distress because it was a thicker paper.
That is not a reading journal - that is a work of art! So beautiful ❤
Thank you friend! 🥰 I’m so proud of it.
This journal is everything!!😍 so stunning! I really love the vibes, can’t wait to watch more of your videos💕
Yay! Glad to have you here 🖤🌊
It’s absolutely stunning and you’re so inspiring 🥹🤍✨
Thank you so much!!
do you print your headings on regular white printer paper and then use the distress pad? or did you use a different color printer paper?
For most of the journal I used a light beige colored cardstock, but I ran out of it and switched to white printer paper, and they looked very similar. It is easier to distress the edges on paper of heavier weight though. It was my first time using the tool and I was shocked at how fun and easy it was. 😂
@@manda_made i picked it up at michael's today and im excited to use it!!
Yay! Have fun. (It’s addicting lol)
I have exclusively used the Archer & Olive A5 notebooks, but now you've got me thinking I need to try the 8x8 size 👀👀 Your set-up looks lovely! I also love your author backlist page - I might need to steal that layout!
Steal away, Pirate! 🏴☠️🖤 I enjoy having lots of space with an 8x8.
What a super fun reading journal! I wish I could have watched this before doing mine so I would have been able to include things like what you did last year, 24 must reads in 2024. And I love the tiny little details in your reading journal, how you cut the wave PET tapes behind the books 😍 I like how you gave standard book spreads your own unique twist 🫶🏻 cant wait to see more! 🎉
Thanks Icy! The inspiration is mutual.🌟 I saved your reading journal under my "inspo for next year" playlist. hahaha That's my favorite part of the journal community. There are endless ideas to share and make our own. Excited to have another journal pal 🍓
