Hi team! 💜 Thanks for watching and I hope you like the setup 😄 Our giveaway is now closed, and a big congrats to our winners @shayneelizabeth @JFStuart04 and @BeauNDarrows 🥳 Stay tuned for future giveaway opportunities by making sure you're subscribed 👌
Thanks to you (I found your channel a week ago) I am now growing a list of supplies I want to acquire 😅 Brush pens, cool washi tapes, printable sticker paper....
I don't have a favorite book yet. But I want to join your reading community next year to get me out of this comfort zone and start reading more because this year i thought ill read more but didnt, but ive watched alot of movies and shows tho😅👌
Love how you actually print things out instead of everything by hand, sometimes there ain’t time to draw every single thing 😂😂❤ its a great mix and inspires me to not be so hard on myself to do things all by hand
I'm glad it's appreciated! For the longest time, I convinced myself that everything I shared on the channel had to be done by hand some people didn't need any specialty supplies or anything, but I've since come around on the idea that people will totally use stickers and tapes and such for convenient and quick decoration 👏💜
It is actually very helpful to see that not everything has to be as perfectly drawn and can be printed out, takes some stress off my perfectionist brain. I know there aren't any rules, but when you see perfectly drawn and planned out journals everywhere, it gets overwhelming to even start. But seeing that something simple can look very amazing if you use some tricks is very inspiring.
@@7792pnaurfr you missed the point. jess said in the video numerous times that yes, journals do not have to be aesthetically pleasing to be functional, but it's part of the fun of journaling for many. this commenter is pointing out that the journaling community tends to be oversaturated with perfectly beautiful journals, with tedious hand drawn details and calligraphy, so jess' approach was relieving, and i agree with that sentiment. to each their own of course, what some find joy in others do not, but this point is especially relatable for many in the hobby
@@7792pnaurfrfor some people, the design is art. It’s fun and therapeutic do work on spreads you like looking at. Not everyone is focused on stringent practicality. We like it to be fun.
I wish I had the patience to do this. I adore watching people get creative with their journal designs. It's incredibly labour intensive and hugely impressive. Hats off to you. The designs you put together and the cohesion across all of the pages makes me a little jealous at the level of commitment and talent you've got.
I took me six months before I even dared writing in my new journal, because it was the first time I bought a more expensive one. Last week I finally took the step to just write and now I can't stop anymore. The journal is even looking better now with all the writing and creative things in it. I love to put your videos on to get me in a creative mood!
That PET tape was worth it - the detail! I've been motivating myself to watch 'leaving soon' titles on Netflix and rediscovered my fave romcom 'About Time'. Heart-warming, tears and best of all, Time Travel ♥
Your journals always look so good, I wish I had the patience, and also less cats who always want to 'help' XD I get about 20 minutes until they realize I'm doing something and they have to come be involved, which means laying on whatever I'm doing, stealing my washi tape by the roll, batting my pens off my desk, and whatever else pops into their adorable little heads.
This setup is so gorgeous! No wonder your initial filming was 10 hours. You really put in the WORK! Absolutely love the simplicity of the black and white theme, and the use of the PET tape is genius.
I like watching older TV shows I used to watch as a kid. I recently watched Charmed, the cringe moments I missed as a kid just blows me away. I had to constantly call my mom to verify certain scenes and just gossip about the characters and the actor/actresses that were in it. ❤❤
I love what you said about not reading a book a week, but having sections of time when your really into it! I so relate to that and so many people on social media seem like they just read a ton of books all the time
This was my first year using a reading journal (and the year I got back into reading) and I've been having so much fun planning out my 2025 reading journal. I'm also planning on starting a commonplace/life journal to record trips I take or shows I really enjoyed, etc. in a scrapbooky kind of way while also using it as a place to write down my thoughts if I feel like it. 2025 is going to be a big journaling year for me! ☺
I've been a staunchly Romance Books only reader. I read 800+ books back in 2020 (not a typo, actual eight hundred plus). But recently after my partner made a comment about how narrowly I read I have come up with what I hope will be an amazing journey: 25 Genres in 2025. Far fewer books than my record high, but I know that some of the genres will take a long time. If anyone has any favorite Non-Romance niche genres, I am all ears since I have yet to start making my TBR list 😊
For some reason, besides fantasy (there's also fantasy romance btw, it might interest you), I found that I enjoy EMP-type books. Or any kind that deal with the end of life as we know it and the search/adaptation to the new world, specially when based in actual natural disasters that can happen. (EMP is about electromagnetic pulses btw)
LOL, I can actually say the alphabet backwards, my grandmother did too and sometimes we would each say a letter in turn, just because we could. It's a great childhood memory. 🥰🥰
I completely agree with you on CAWPILE. I think it's a great system, but I find that I know what I want to rate a book and actually change my CAWPILE answers so that it comes out to what I already decided I wanted to give as a rating. Awesome video. This book looks excellent.
Putting together my first Reading Journal and cannot emphasize enough how invaluable your set-up videos have been! Having the opportunity to review what works and what doesn't, how final layouts look on the page and getting ideas for what to include has made me really excited for 2025! Loving watching you create and inspire ❤
I like that you take your time with the journals. I keep a media journal so I can track books, movies , tv shows and plays. I love the black and white layouts.
Loving the bold black and white designs of these pages! I especially loved those time consuming arches. I like the idea of including the extra pages for things like shows and games, you generally don’t have enough of those to devote a whole separate journal to them. In the past, I’ve included a page to screen spread for movies/shows based on books that are scheduled to be released during the year.
Normally I have to be doing something else at the same time while watching youtube but this actually made me just chill and sit for 45 minutes. Thank you, this was really relaxing and calm while also being interesting :)
I keep a basic reading log, but I have been toying with the idea of making a bigger journal to track things with. I love the idea of adding media to it. I never thought of it!
I love how you use your stickers and how you decorate your pages! I took notes while watching this because I always struggle with organizing my pages. Your videos are very helpful!
I love the style of this notebook so far. You have given me so much inspiration for my journal spreads. I've merged my bullet journal, journal journal and media journal all into one notebook. I usually go through 2-3 journals a year, but this way I don't feel bad for not updating my reading journal or feeling pressured to make bullet journal spreads. I just make the setups that I need when I need them. This year it was a lot of goal tracking spreads, weekly spreads and long journal entries.
Thank you for sharing! I am too indecisive I think to do a reading journal, or I guess overthink at times too. But I find it so soothing to watch you do yours!!
The black stickers on the black borders is GORGEOUS!! Setting up reading goals is always such a great way to get even more excited about reading. I usually slow down by the end of the year, but I’m really finding my favorite types of stories and can’t wait for more next year!
i'm getting back into reading! this year, i read 30 books AND i started a booktok account. i used to love booktube as a tween, and so to now join the community as a big girl (20 years old, the weird in between of adulthood and teenagehood), it's been so fun. wonderful video! very soothing and nice to crochet to :)
Loved this! A big thing that causes me to walk away from my journal is the hand cramping and time it takes me to create the spreads. I will be purchasing the sticker paper as well as checking out your printable resources. I am hopeful this will make for a more successful journaling year in 2025. Thank you!
Every. Thing. About. This. Just screams yes to me. I'm obsessed with dark florals and thrive on contrast. I struggle so hard creative wise, so I hope you don't mind me using heavy inspiration 😅 I also am turning mine into a Reading/ K/J/C Drama/ Anime watched because they are blending together mentally. I need something to look back on and refresh. Thank you soooooo much for this video!!
I LOVE this layout, especially with the black PET tape! So pretty! I’m a big fan of black/gothic layouts, and this is definitely one of my top favorites. I’ve actually been thinking about starting my own reading journal for this coming year for a new book club with my friends, and this is really making me want to jump in!
My favorite movie book is Perks of Being a Wallflower! I read that book before high school and it became a source of comfort for me when I felt lost. I need to read it again sometime!!
I am a very avid reader and am looking to start a reading journal. Mostly audio books plus another activity (crochet, painting, laundry, etc). Love the look of what you’ve done!
I love the Stickers ur using and the gothic and witchy theme it gives...and black being my fav color, it just fills me with so much happiness and warmth watching it
I like the idea of a physical journal to keep track of everything because I don't enjoy just cataloging on good reads. I spend most of my crafting time crocheting but I want to get back to reading and I think this would help. Thanks for the inspiration and ideas!
I started a reading journal thanks to you and I have got to say I love it so much! When people ask me what they should read I can actually look back at what I read before so I can give an appropriate suggestion. Plus I can fondly remember what I thought of the books at the time. Helps me overcome my book hangover each time.
I did the three steps and I truly LOVE how you set up your journal. I love reading with a passion and this will be the first year I will be doing a reading journal. None of my friends like reading so writing things down like this would be like my version of getting to talk to a friend about a book. I hope I get the journal and I hope you have an amazing day. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
i love how the pet tape looks on top of the black backgrounds! it's so subtle but adds a lot of depth. my journal's pages are super thin and i've not been able to get away with coloring in spots with a brush pen, so i think i need to get a journal with thicker pages. archer and olive here i goooo lol
I've been getting back into reading from a long slump and seeing videos like these makes me excited about how many books I would be able to read in a year and that I would actually enjoy
I absolutely love this layout, perfect gothic, witchy vibes! My reading goals have kicked up quite a bit this year. I went from 22 books read in 2023 and this year I am up to 83 and counting so far! Top reads so far would be Book Lovers, Love Theoretically, Two Twisted Crowns and Butcher & Blackbird.
Your creativity astounds me! I love the PET tape uses! In my reading journal, I include a series tracker that I will write all the series in and color code it for what year I finish each book. I rely on library loans so some series take longer to finish. It is fun to bring the different colors into the next year.
I put all entertainment related things in my regular bujo & keep my reading journal strictly reading because I hit over 150-200+ books a year, but I love how you set this up!
I recently got back into reading and remember why I loved it so much. It's hard with midterms and life in general, but I've been making sure to find time for it and this video reminded me that I should start a reading journal again. Beautiful work!
I stumbled upon this video and I am just so amazed at how dedicated you are to your reading journal set up, it’s beautiful. It’s inspiring me to want to pick up bullet journaling again, and to switch from a digital reading journal to a physical one. I REALLY love the way that you added the stickers over the shaded in areas! ❤❤❤
I just love watching your videos, especially the ‘this is my creative outlet’ I use to feel bad for my journals taking forever or not looking ‘perfect’ and you’ve really helped me let go of those negative inner self talk 💖
I've only just started journaling, and I was feeling so lost. I started, and it looked hideous, so felt like I'd ruined my beautiful journal. Then I saw this video and I absolutely love everything you've done and I'm feeling so inspired to try again. Thank you so much. xx
I’ve been in a reading slump for the past few months and this video was such a good comforting watch. I’m definitely more inspired to pick up and book and fill out my reading journal for the next year 🥰
Im planning on starting my first journal for 2025 and have been watching your videos for inspiration. They're so nice and easy to follow and I love that you mix in printout, seeing others hand draw and write EVERYTHING just makes it seem so daunting
This is such a gorgeous setup and has made me so excited to set up my journal for next year ❤ too many favorite books to list, but my favorite from this year's new reads is Bright Young Women!
Hi team! 💜 Thanks for watching and I hope you like the setup 😄

Thanks to you (I found your channel a week ago) I am now growing a list of supplies I want to acquire 😅
Brush pens, cool washi tapes, printable sticker paper....
Love the gothic font and washi tape used in this video, very much my style! ❤ xx
Love the cover of this journal! I want one just like it TT
The gothic font, washi tapes, and hand drawn designs accentuated the aesthetic 🖤
Gorgeous set up! I have the same PET tape and now some inspiration 😊
I don't have a favorite book yet. But I want to join your reading community next year to get me out of this comfort zone and start reading more because this year i thought ill read more but didnt, but ive watched alot of movies and shows tho😅👌
I call mine my Entertainment Journal because my husband and I see a couple of plays each year and I wanted to include live theater among my reviews.
Oh nice, good name for it! 💪💜
This is great! I was trying to figure something out, and we also go see plays at least once a year, so this is perfect!
I would like to start a reading journal, I read so much that it would be nice to look back and see all off it
Aw I love that
Oh brilliant! I forget to do that ❤❤
You free-handing those stars has me starstruck 😮
Me too!!!!
Love how you actually print things out instead of everything by hand, sometimes there ain’t time to draw every single thing 😂😂❤ its a great mix and inspires me to not be so hard on myself to do things all by hand

Really? So much effort to make this journal look pretty instead of focusing on substance

Coloring the bookshelf for the different ratings can be a sinple way of keeping it not only aesthetically pleasing but meaningful as well
I like the black and white color scheme - you don't have to worry about book covers clashing. Smart!
Right!? I think it'll just help make the pages with the covers look less "busy" 👌
That PET tape was worth it - the detail! I've been motivating myself to watch 'leaving soon' titles on Netflix and rediscovered my fave romcom 'About Time'. Heart-warming, tears and best of all, Time Travel ♥

I love what you said about not reading a book a week, but having sections of time when your really into it! I so relate to that and so many people on social media seem like they just read a ton of books all the time
I love the black and white architectural design. And I’m totally stealing that idea for the bookshelf at the front of the journal

I love how you set up your journal! It’s so seemingly minimal but elegant ❤️
I adoreeee this setup!! I love the look of the pet tape over the black, super sleek yet full of interest!!
After not bullet journaling last year I am inspired to get back into it for 2025 thanks to you
That arch’s page is so gorgeous, it gives Morticia’s vibes 🖤🌹🥀
The PET tape on top of the black… genius! I love it!
Glad you liked it! 😄💜
And gorgeous!
I've loved my Reading & Media Journal this year! I can't wait to see your spread updates for 2025 😍 Such a beautiful setup!
I love when people get creative with their supplies. Layering black PET stickers over black ink to give it subtle texture and shine is so inspiring 😍
I love that you have come back to a simpler rating system. This is absolutely beautiful! ❤
Haha yes, it felt right to go back to basics! 👌💜
Good job Vogel for having you watch Twister. That is my childhood. I can quote the entire movie. 😂
Haha 😂 hopefully I like it 🤞
Oh dude I grew up in the state it was filmed 😅 and im still here

How about some cozy science fiction? A Psalm for the Wild-Built and A Prayer for the Crown Shy by Becky Chambers (both pretty short)
@@virginiamohlere6390I read that duology this autumn and I approve this message!
WOW!
I would recommend Jane Eyre - it is one of my favorite books. It combines romance that you enjoy and classics which I most enjoy. Happy reading.
Absolutely gorgeous setup, love the way the black flowers look on the black background!
These layouts are so pretty. I like the black and white a lot. All the other reading journals I've seen have been very colorful
That's such a good journal!
Makes me wanna set up my next common place similar to this
LOL, I can actually say the alphabet backwards, my grandmother did too and sometimes we would each say a letter in turn, just because we could. It's a great childhood memory. 🥰🥰
Aww that’s really sweet! 💜
I completely agree with you on CAWPILE. I think it's a great system, but I find that I know what I want to rate a book and actually change my CAWPILE answers so that it comes out to what I already decided I wanted to give as a rating. Awesome video. This book looks excellent.
Literally exactly what I was doing with CAWPILE 😂
your scripting, specifically on the 'goals' page, is SO stunning! i'm inspired to practice mine more!
This journal is so pretty and the most decorative one I've ever seen!! I especially love the goal page!

The PET tape on the books read page looks so good *chef's kiss*
Loved this! A big thing that causes me to walk away from my journal is the hand cramping and time it takes me to create the spreads. I will be purchasing the sticker paper as well as checking out your printable resources. I am hopeful this will make for a more successful journaling year in 2025. Thank you!
I've neglected my reading journals and this has made it feel so much more simpler again. Love the journal set up
This is the first year I'm going to be doing a reading journal, so I've been binge watching videos for inspiration. Your journal is gorgeous!
I love seeing your videos that show beautiful layouts that can be done simply along with tips for book covers and page titles.
Every. Thing. About. This. Just screams yes to me. I'm obsessed with dark florals and thrive on contrast. I struggle so hard creative wise, so I hope you don't mind me using heavy inspiration 😅 I also am turning mine into a Reading/ K/J/C Drama/ Anime watched because they are blending together mentally. I need something to look back on and refresh. Thank you soooooo much for this video!!

I’m so excited to have found you. I love reading and have recharged my reading this year. Love all your journals. Here’s to 2025.
My favorite movie book is Perks of Being a Wallflower! I read that book before high school and it became a source of comfort for me when I felt lost. I need to read it again sometime!!
I never fail in getting beautiful journaling ideas from watching your channel! Your setups are so inspiring i cant stop watching your videos!
I always struggle to find a reading journal theme and layout that really appeals to me, but this one is so perfect! Can’t wait to start my own
I am a very avid reader and am looking to start a reading journal. Mostly audio books plus another activity (crochet, painting, laundry, etc). Love the look of what you’ve done!
I love this journal's vibe so much and it's so relaxing to watch you turn blank pages into art.
I really like that you fill in the black areas with those rose/floral stickers.
i am in love with the tape over the black arch 🥹
I love the Stickers ur using and the gothic and witchy theme it gives...and black being my fav color, it just fills me with so much happiness and warmth watching it
I love the idea of all forms of entertainment in the same place! I’ve been wanting to start a monthly playlist log!
Love your take on black and white, “simple” journal and how it is easy on the eye. But not simple at all.
Love the way you used that black PET, stunning
Love this setup, so lovely but not color heavy. I think it’s nice that the covers will stand out even better.
I like the idea of a physical journal to keep track of everything because I don't enjoy just cataloging on good reads. I spend most of my crafting time crocheting but I want to get back to reading and I think this would help. Thanks for the inspiration and ideas!

Love the style - and the use of the PeT is so clever! Fave pages are the goals (love how effective the rope is!) and the reading log page ❤
love low the flowers contrast subtly with the black for the arch :)
Gorgeous! Love the effect you got from layering the PET tape over the ink. ❤
This was so relaxing to watch. I was cleaning my and in the end I layed down and was mesmerized at the dedication!
The PET tape over the black arch is sooo beautiful! I loved everything from this setup

I’m so happy we’re in prepping reading journal season! These are my comfort videos and yours are always my favorite :)
This is astonishing, I've never seen anything like it. I'm simultaneously inspired and intimidated!
Your creativity astounds me! I love the PET tape uses! In my reading journal, I include a series tracker that I will write all the series in and color code it for what year I finish each book.

The pet tape on the black background looks so good! Would never have thought to use it that way..
I'm loving the arches and black on black rose washi. You're giving me ideas.
The journal itself is SO PRETTY but i also love the b/w setups you did! a nice reading journal really does make you more inclined to read
The final result looks absolutely stunning ❣I love the overlay with the PET tape
Gorgeous set up! I love the gothic black and white vibe and all the arches 🖤
I put all entertainment related things in my regular bujo & keep my reading journal strictly reading because I hit over 150-200+ books a year, but I love how you set this up!
Ok but your handwriting is unbelievable!! It’s so beautiful!!
Love how this set up came out! The black on back looks so good and I def think the arches were worth your time 😍

I just love watching your videos, especially the ‘this is my creative outlet’ I use to feel bad for my journals taking forever or not looking ‘perfect’ and you’ve really helped me let go of those negative inner self talk 💖
I've only just started journaling, and I was feeling so lost. I started, and it looked hideous, so felt like I'd ruined my beautiful journal. Then I saw this video and I absolutely love everything you've done and I'm feeling so inspired to try again. Thank you so much. xx
I loved the way you decorated the journal, and the aesthetic that it followed. Lovely!!!
I’ve been in a reading slump for the past few months and this video was such a good comforting watch. I’m definitely more inspired to pick up and book and fill out my reading journal for the next year 🥰
Im planning on starting my first journal for 2025 and have been watching your videos for inspiration. They're so nice and easy to follow and I love that you mix in printout, seeing others hand draw and write EVERYTHING just makes it seem so daunting
The PET tape is super effective. Such a great aesthetic, definitely going to try it myself.
This is such a gorgeous setup and has made me so excited to set up my journal for next year ❤ too many favorite books to list, but my favorite from this year's new reads is Bright Young Women!
