Hello! Thank you so much for watching! In case you didn't know, I recently opened up my very own shop with stickers, printables and art prints, and you can find it here: ikigaipapir.com :D Hope to see you there
OMG!! This is the first time I’ve seen a reading journal and this is such an amazing idea!! I love to read and even have a little library in my house where I have 100s of books (a lot that I still need to read, I get excited and buy lots of books even though I still have lots to read haha). This is definitely an awesome journal idea that I would like to do for 2021. I’m so excited! 😍
this whole journal is gorgeous!! also, my idea for the books you have read is cover it with a flap of tracing paper. that way you can still see them but they are like "faded out" and the ones you need to read still are bolder!
For the books you have read ..you could maybe put a small sticker on top !! Like a tiny smily or bookmark or any emoji that could be your reaction to the book !! Also I'm new to all of this journal stuff and it's so exciting !
I was thinking along similar lines. Maybe with the #of stars you would rate the book. Definitely small enough to still see the cover. Beautiful journal!!
For Japanese books, I recommend "Before the coffee gets cold" and "The memory police". I read both of them in English, not sure if they are translated to Norwegian yet :)
I’m getting a lot of questions about how I print the book covers. It’s not some magic trick, you guys!😅 I just google the book, save an image of the cover, put them into Microsoft Word or Pages (I use both🤷🏼♀️), set the width to 2cm so they’re all the same width, and then I print them out on my old Office Jet which is not fancy at all, just an old printer I found at my parents’ house three years ago. Also: the giveaway is closed!:) The winner has been announced over on my Community Tab, and the prize has been mailed to the winner :)
for marking them as read you could create an outline around the ones you read. make it look like a framed poster. nothing too fancy since there isnt space. but if you have a pen with gold ink or something it'll stand out. or you could just draw corner guards on two right side corners to make it look like those fancy hard cover books. i personally wouldnt like to mark over the covers and i think either of these two ways will help draw you eye to the ones you completed at a glance :)
Hiiii, Here are your most trusted reading recommendations for 2021 (the page is still too empty) (also, hi, I am San) - Call me by your name (do not question it. just read it. Just do.) - In an Instant - The song of Achilles - Vicious - if you still do not have Mistborn on your list, put it down now - murderbot series My "try to read non english authors thing" failed However you can check out Susanna Tamaro my all time favourite italian author and Banana Yoshimoto. But I read them ten years ago, I am not sure how relevant they are still today, because I have not yet managed a reread. But eeeey, 90's are a thing. So go more retro
This is super helpful because it’s a year old, but if you’re doing the 5,4,3,2,1 challenge again this year - books written by authors of color is a great category!
I really love the idea of reading outside your language and listening to the nuances coming through from another culture. Of course much is lost in translation but even trying to hear these thoughts and ideas is so wonderful. The more understanding and sharing which goes around the better.
This is very inspiring! Maybe I'll start something like this next year... And here's a tip for a classic to read : "Rebecca" by Daphne du Maurier. I listened to the audiobook and enjoyed it a lot and the narrator Emma Fielding did an excellent job.
Rebecca! I read it like 4 times, in 3 different editions. It's always perfect. It's a book that's been enjoyed by my grandmother, my mom and I, it's great.
you can cut out a square thats the size of the tiny books and paste the paper over the books you read (like, taping it lightly). that way you can directly see which books you read
I love the cohesiveness of your spreads; the colors and theme are very cozy. Also, I like that the strap/closure snaps off, versus an elastic band. It’s a subtle, but lovely analog touch.
I've been binge-watching reading bullet journal videos and this one is so calming and soothing. Definitely got some inspirations that I want to try out for next year. Hopefully, I will be able to keep going without giving up mid-year.
This year I decided too to keep a reading journal, and something amazing happened: I usually forget a lot about the books I read, even if I love them, but writing down my thoughts really helped me actually remember a lot more!
For translations into English, you could look at Peirene. They specialise in novellas written in another language. They really focus on the language used and ensuring it is consistent with the tone and meaning of the original. I am doing their subscription for 2021 and I think it will be fun as you receive the books in the post as the year progresses!
for the books you’ve read you can add a tiny sheet of semi transparent paper so it looks kind of greyed out kind of like how it looks after you select something in some apps if that makes sense (think kind of like tracing paper or those transparent sticky notes)
I did a similar spread with the book covers a couple years ago and when I finished reading a book I would put a colored star sticker on the cover (color coordinated to my rating of the book). It worked well because I could see at a glance what books I had finished and my rating of them all at once
Ok, after this, I need a new journal : one for my books ! How exiting is this idea ! I've been keeping book trackers in my planner (or journal) and on goodreads for a few years now, but a journal just for my books is so much better... thank you for the inspiration 💛
Found your channel just recently because I'm planning in starting a reading journal next year as well. Your spreads look so nice without being too overwhelmingly complicated. I'm not much of a doodler so it's nice to see a journal that uses mostly stickers or paper cutouts or rips instead of drawings because it's given me ideas on what I can do for my own journal.
Oooooh that's very interesting! I'm always so torn between having multiple journals for my multiple interests, and trying to integrate them to my 'main' journal! I love your spreads!
This is SO much better than the other habit trackers, for the books you have read I would probably use little check mark stickers or something similar and just add it on top!
I don’t know what you’re doing to me but yet again you motivated me to do something! I have about 10 books laying around my house that I have not touched and now I want to read them and track them! So so so lovely what you create!
I know this is a bit late (I only just discovered this video), but you could try cutting up vellum to the same size as your book covers and taping or pasting it to them? This way you can still see the cover, but it'll almost be like it's been grayed out.
An idea for "crossing off" the books is to use a slightly transparent washi tape! My friend gave me this idea, and she uses different colors to indicate the rating of the book, aka green= good, yellow= okay, red= wouldn't read again/bad. I hope this helped! You have some really good books on there. Good luck to everyone with the giveaway, and best of luck coming into the new year! ❤️
That's so cool I feel like starting a book journal too. I frequently forget a book I have read after many years. Writing small summary and what I liked, disliked and learned is such a cool idea. Thanks!
What a wonderful journal! I would like to try something like that but I don't think I could be as persistant. I think you might just motivated me to start reading again. The 5-4-3-2-1 challenge seems very interesting. Best of luck! Also, would love the lovely notebook B-)
I love the books to be read page! It’s so satisfying! Maybe you can add a triangle sticker on the corner to mark that it’s read. I think it would look good
I've recently had a similar book journal idea and didn't want to wait for 2021 to start working on it ! But you just gave me more ideas , yours is absolutely beautiful ! And thank you for the giveaway !
This is a fantastic idea! I’m going to use this as inspiration to back track, 2019 & 2020, and track for 2021. Love the creativeness and that it’s all in one. I use a bullet journal too. Saves on having to re-write this spread on every notebook used (I go through 3-4 notebooks per year). Thanks for sharing!
I love your calm simple but pleasing aesthetic 😍 I recently started a reading journal and movies/series journal a couple months ago and it’s my favorite thing ever
I have a similar to be read section in my book. I just draw a drop Shadow on the books I've read - you can still see the whole cover, but it just pops out of the page a bit more.
Seeing reading journals like this helps motivate me to read more - it helps push me to continue reading knowing that there's something fun to do when a book is finished 🥰 Also your style of journalling is something I want to try out in my own journal - it's so aesthetically pleasing to me! 😍
Wow 😍 I have never thought of making a separate reading journal but this is super exciting and convenient! I'd love to try this out next year. I loved your goal to PRIORITIZE, SET ASIDE TIME , EXPAND HORIZON and FOCUS. I'm learning korean and I might have to read a whole new category of books. Man this is great. Thank you for sharing especially this reading journal.
I started my reading journal after watching your video a year ago. I did not end up reading as much as I thought I would, but I am happy with the amount I've read. Here's to a better 2021.
I really love the way you've added the postage stamp sized covers to your journal. What a great idea! Thank you for the generous giveaway ; it's so sweet of you.
Love watching your videos, I feel so connected to you, I like writing journals too(it keeps me sane) and your videos encourages me to do so further ❤️joining the giveaway for the first time on your channel, hope luck favors me🧡more power to you❤️
I started a reading journal this year as well, and I'm really enjoying it so far. I love seeing how other people are doing reading journals so I can get new ideas for spades. Thank you for the inspiration!
I used to love reading so much, but just kind of fell away from it. Love the idea of creating a reading journal to help stir up some of that excitement again.
I really like the idea of a reading journal for 2021. I have a bullet journal with a little section for books I've been reading (or listening to) this past year, but a more extensive summary of everything sounds really nice. I also love your scrapbook-like style!!
this was a beautiful video & the first ever video I watched of yours. I'm so glad it showed up on my recommended page because your spreads are so unique and lovely! i've been wanting to start journaling & have it as one of my goals for 2021. super excited to watch more of your videos 🤍
I like the idea of using an image of the book to track what you want to read. I used to just keep a sheet of paper in my purse with a list of authors and the books I wanted to buy and the ones I already have. I find a journal on this a little intimidating but may have to try some of your layouts.
well, is the first time I see your channel, with this video (obviously) I love it!! I never hear about this kind of journal, I promise 2021 I do a reading journal, I need to do
My 2020 reading journal is halfway through. I thought I need to start with a new journal for 2021. After watched this video, I can happily continue my 2021 reading journal in my current journal 😍😍
I am loving your Journaling contents and taking inspiration from them. Journaling is one of my best hobbies/ self care activities 📒📔✍️📝🔖. Thank you very much indeed 💝💝💝
to mark it as read: you can leave a line under each book and do outlines of 5 stars. When you read the book, you can fill in the number of stars for your rating. the ones that have a star rating are the ones you’ve read!
Love this!! I just graduate college and decided I’m going to challenge myself this year is to read a book a week with my spare time!! Definitely doing something like this :)
Having a reading journal was always something I wanted to start, but I find I don't read enough to have a separate notebook for it. Now I'm thinking of starting one.. By the way your spreads look so cozy and gorgeous! Love them!!
This is my first time watching a reading journal and I must say - I am amazed!!!! It’s so beautiful and gave me a lot of ideas, since I usually just make a list of books read during the year xD
I’ve never had a reading journal before, but this seems like such a good idea to actually remember when I was reading a certain book and whether I liked it or not☺️ So I’ll definitely start one next year!😻 One classic a month sounds great! I’ve read Pride & Prejudice about 7 times I think but none of Jane Austens other books! I feel like next year is the year I will read every single one ☺️
Just thought of making a reading journal because I have been reading a lot this quarantine and I want to optimize and organize my activity. So happy to bump into your video! Thank you for the fresh ideas and artistic inspiration. ✨ How I wish I could make a journal as beautiful as yours. ❤️
Those are beautiful journals. I just got into this journal loophole and I'm learning that's there are a lot of other things to journal about than your day to day life.
Your aesthetic is so warm! I love it. I may be late to the suggestions for the book covers, but I saw Mel S suggest a colored outline, which is a great idea. Maybe do gold/silver/bronze based on how you rated the books?
For the which books you've read, you could look on etsy for clear sticker paper stickers with script that says "read", so you can still see the full cover through the sticker.
I used to start notebooks all the time but about 3 years ago resolved to stick to one at a time and to complete them whenever they naturally filled up. This means, however, that I am jealous of this idea of dedicated journals by topic like your reading journal! Oh, and the only notebook I've allowed myself to use has been by rhodia partially because I love the paper and also to try to curb my notebook acquisitions. Watching a bunch of your notebook reviews as I consider whether my journaling goals should change in 2021!
I have been seriously considering starting a reading journal specifically so all my book thoughts can be captured in one place. I love looking at yours, it has given me a lot of ideas. Thank you!
Can I reccommend The Inheritance Games by Jennifer Lynn Barnes? I just finished reading it a week ago and I thought it was very exciting. It's a little bit like the movie Knives Out, but more YA. It's really fun and there's some mystery and romance as well :)
I’m such an avid reader and this really motivates me to make a reading journal! I use a bullet journal as well but that is mostly for my to dos and monthly collections. I think it would be nice to use a different journal specifically to reflect on what I read. Thank you so much for this inspiration!
I love this idea! I spend a lot of my journaling time in my traveler's Notebook, but I think it wouldn't be too bad to set aside an insert for a reading journal. I love all those vintage looking spreads 😍
I love your set up! I try to do pretty/fancy spreads, but they never come out like I planned, but it’s still fun to see what I end up with. 😁 thanks for the inspiration!
Hello! Thank you so much for watching! In case you didn't know, I recently opened up my very own shop with stickers, printables and art prints, and you can find it here: ikigaipapir.com :D Hope to see you there
See you there too! ❤️ btw can l recommend some books?
Ushig by Annemarie Allan
The Star Thief by Lindsey Becker
Diary of a wimpy kid by Jeff Kinney
For the books you have read: maybe go around the cover with a colored pen? Like, a little frame 😊
I really like this idea!
I thought the same thing!
That's a great idea! I wonder which color would look nice? I have a gold marker which might work, unless it's a bit *too much*?
@@mochibujoI don’t think gold is too much. We all need a little glam and glitz in our lives
@@mochibujo there’s not such thing as too much when it comes to gold 😂 I think it’d look great!
OMG!! This is the first time I’ve seen a reading journal and this is such an amazing idea!!

This is definitely an awesome journal idea that I would like to do for 2021. I’m so excited! 😍
The aesthetic of your reading journal is honestly beautiful. I like that neutrals are always tied in.
this whole journal is gorgeous!! also, my idea for the books you have read is cover it with a flap of tracing paper. that way you can still see them but they are like "faded out" and the ones you need to read still are bolder!
For the books you have read ..you could maybe put a small sticker on top !! Like a tiny smily or bookmark or any emoji that could be your reaction to the book !! Also I'm new to all of this journal stuff and it's so exciting !
I was thinking along similar lines. Maybe with the #of stars you would rate the book. Definitely small enough to still see the cover. Beautiful journal!!
hello ARMY 💜
A star sticker or a painted star in gold pen/ink above each book corner would be perfect!
For Japanese books, I recommend "Before the coffee gets cold" and "The memory police". I read both of them in English, not sure if they are translated to Norwegian yet :)
Maybe some transparent paper over the books you’ve read so it’s still clean and subtle but you can tell what you’ve read and what’s left.
I’m getting a lot of questions about how I print the book covers. It’s not some magic trick, you guys!😅 I just google the book, save an image of the cover, put them into Microsoft Word or Pages (I use both🤷🏼♀️), set the width to 2cm so they’re all the same width, and then I print them out on my old Office Jet which is not fancy at all, just an old printer I found at my parents’ house three years ago.
Also: the giveaway is closed!:) The winner has been announced over on my Community Tab, and the prize has been mailed to the winner :)
How did you get/do the mini book covers?
@@jennasnook3746 I’d assume you just adjust the size to what you need 🖤✨
for marking them as read you could create an outline around the ones you read. make it look like a framed poster. nothing too fancy since there isnt space. but if you have a pen with gold ink or something it'll stand out. or you could just draw corner guards on two right side corners to make it look like those fancy hard cover books. i personally wouldnt like to mark over the covers and i think either of these two ways will help draw you eye to the ones you completed at a glance :)
Love the idea of the book covers!!
@@Pesto_O That's a great idea!!
I really love that you have a separate journal for reading. I usually just cram it in my bullet journal and it doesn’t work out too well for me
Hiiii,
Here are your most trusted reading recommendations for 2021 (the page is still too empty) (also, hi, I am San)
- Call me by your name (do not question it. just read it. Just do.)
- In an Instant
- The song of Achilles
- Vicious
- if you still do not have Mistborn on your list, put it down now
- murderbot series
My "try to read non english authors thing" failed
However you can check out Susanna Tamaro my all time favourite italian author and Banana Yoshimoto. But I read them ten years ago, I am not sure how relevant they are still today, because I have not yet managed a reread. But eeeey, 90's are a thing. So go more retro
Always showing up with great recommendations! My “to be read” list will never end 😂😂😂
Vicious is so good! one of my favourites. Same goes for mistborn
Oh call me by your name !!! That's a book!!
yeah I read call me by your name this summer and it was really good! I love timmy if you can't already tell by my profile pic lol :)
I love the sped up part where we get to see you putting together the pages. Your calligraphy is beautiful.
This is super helpful because it’s a year old, but if you’re doing the 5,4,3,2,1 challenge again this year - books written by authors of color is a great category!
I really love the idea of reading outside your language and listening to the nuances coming through from another culture. Of course much is lost in translation but even trying to hear these thoughts and ideas is so wonderful. The more understanding and sharing which goes around the better.
This is very inspiring! Maybe I'll start something like this next year...
And here's a tip for a classic to read : "Rebecca" by Daphne du Maurier. I listened to the audiobook and enjoyed it a lot and the narrator Emma Fielding did an excellent job.
Rebecca! I read it like 4 times, in 3 different editions. It's always perfect. It's a book that's been enjoyed by my grandmother, my mom and I, it's great.
Yours are the only reading journal videos I find to my liking. This helped me set up my journal successfully after months of trying in vain. Thanks!🥰❤
Omg that's a huge compliment, thank you so much!
you can cut out a square thats the size of the tiny books and paste the paper over the books you read (like, taping it lightly). that way you can directly see which books you read
I love the cohesiveness of your spreads; the colors and theme are very cozy. Also, I like that the strap/closure snaps off, versus an elastic band. It’s a subtle, but lovely analog touch.
I've been binge-watching reading bullet journal videos and this one is so calming and soothing. Definitely got some inspirations that I want to try out for next year. Hopefully, I will be able to keep going without giving up mid-year.
ooo you should place like a parchment paper over the books to read once you've finished it. I think it goes with your aesthetic. :))
Now I'm inspired to read more and journal it 🤩. Thank you for sharing these☺️
This year I decided too to keep a reading journal, and something amazing happened: I usually forget a lot about the books I read, even if I love them, but writing down my thoughts really helped me actually remember a lot more!
Me too! It’s a great exercise for me ☺️
For translations into English, you could look at Peirene. They specialise in novellas written in another language. They really focus on the language used and ensuring it is consistent with the tone and meaning of the original. I am doing their subscription for 2021 and I think it will be fun as you receive the books in the post as the year progresses!
Possible Categories: biography of a woman scientist, holidays of different countries, manga I've never heard of.
The vintage lay outs are perfect for that journal. I love vintage and then I love bright. I never considered specific journals for each style.
for the books you’ve read you can add a tiny sheet of semi transparent paper so it looks kind of greyed out kind of like how it looks after you select something in some apps if that makes sense (think kind of like tracing paper or those transparent sticky notes)
I did a similar spread with the book covers a couple years ago and when I finished reading a book I would put a colored star sticker on the cover (color coordinated to my rating of the book). It worked well because I could see at a glance what books I had finished and my rating of them all at once
Ok, after this, I need a new journal : one for my books ! How exiting is this idea !
I've been keeping book trackers in my planner (or journal) and on goodreads for a few years now, but a journal just for my books is so much better... thank you for the inspiration 💛
Found your channel just recently because I'm planning in starting a reading journal next year as well. Your spreads look so nice without being too overwhelmingly complicated.

Oooooh that's very interesting! I'm always so torn between having multiple journals for my multiple interests, and trying to integrate them to my 'main' journal! I love your spreads!
I never knew a thing like this existed. I am a bookworm too!!! Feeling motivated to start a reading journal for 2021. Thank you!
This is SO much better than the other habit trackers, for the books you have read I would probably use little check mark stickers or something similar and just add it on top!
I don’t know what you’re doing to me but yet again you motivated me to do something! I have about 10 books laying around my house that I have not touched and now I want to read them and track them! So so so lovely what you create!
To mark off the books you have read, maybe a vertical star rating beside the book?
You are going to make some people very happy with your giveaways! You have inspired me to try creating a separate reading journal. I love yours!
Your journal is beautiful!!! I hear your criticism towards your own work and i think “whaaaat” it looks perfect to me.
this is the first reading journal video ive seen that desperately makes me want to start one for this year!!
For the books read, maybe put a small piece of vellum paper over each to fade it out?
I know this is a bit late (I only just discovered this video), but you could try cutting up vellum to the same size as your book covers and taping or pasting it to them? This way you can still see the cover, but it'll almost be like it's been grayed out.
Non-Western author I want to read in 2021: Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. She's my favorite feminist, but I haven't read her novels yet.
yesss I read her book purple hibiscus and loved it
I loved her too but unfortunately this year it came to light that she is a TERF :(
An idea for "crossing off" the books is to use a slightly transparent washi tape! My friend gave me this idea, and she uses different colors to indicate the rating of the book, aka green= good, yellow= okay, red= wouldn't read again/bad. I hope this helped!

I am excited to start a reading journal this year. Your journal is beautiful.
I’ve been toying with the idea of a reading journal. You have given me many ideas.
What a wonderful journal! I would like to try something like that but I don't think I could be as persistant. I think you might just motivated me to start reading again. The 5-4-3-2-1 challenge seems very interesting. Best of luck!
Also, would love the lovely notebook B-)
the reading journal is such a great idea! I don't know if it is a classic but La Religieuse by Diderot is one of my favourite stories ever
I've read so many books this year and hope I can read as many in 2021. I'm also always happy to find new books to read 😊❤️
Wow! I've been toying with the idea of starting a reading journal -- this was so inspiring!
I love the books to be read page! It’s so satisfying! Maybe you can add a triangle sticker on the corner to mark that it’s read. I think it would look good

oh my W.I.T.C.H brings so much of my childhood, I miss reading the series 😆
I love how you made a journal dedicated to the books you've read and want to read! Will have to try this idea out :-)
Wow 😍 I have never thought of making a separate reading journal but this is super exciting and convenient! I'd love to try this out next year. I loved your goal to PRIORITIZE, SET ASIDE TIME , EXPAND HORIZON and FOCUS. I'm learning korean and I might have to read a whole new category of books. Man this is great. Thank you for sharing especially this reading journal.
My idea for how to see if I read the mini book is to put them on a hinge and then under it, I will put the star rating when I have read it.
I started my reading journal after watching your video a year ago. I did not end up reading as much as I thought I would, but I am happy with the amount I've read. Here's to a better 2021.
you could mark the books read by drawing a line beside it, sort of like a shadow/outline
This makes me want to re-try making a reading journal (I have tried, and failed, many a time). I like the smaller size of the rustico journals though!
I really love the way you've added the postage stamp sized covers to your journal. What a great idea! Thank you for the generous giveaway ; it's so sweet of you.
Love watching your videos, I feel so connected to you, I like writing journals too(it keeps me sane) and your videos encourages me to do so further ❤️joining the giveaway for the first time on your channel, hope luck favors me🧡more power to you❤️
wow I LOVE YOUR SPREAD SO MUCH, I feel so inspired to get back into bullet journaling my reading more consistently!!!!!!!

Hi! Thank you so much for watching!💕💕 Good luck with your reading journal!
My 2020 reading journal is halfway through. I thought I need to start with a new journal for 2021.
After watched this video, I can happily continue my 2021 reading journal in my current journal 😍😍
I recommend books by Frances Hodgson Burnett, my favourites by her are "The Secret Garden", "The Little Princess" and "Little Lord Fauntelroy" :)
I am loving your Journaling contents and taking inspiration from them. Journaling is one of my best hobbies/ self care activities 📒📔✍️📝🔖. Thank you very much indeed 💝💝💝

This is my first time watching a reading journal and I must say - I am amazed!!!! It’s so beautiful and gave me a lot of ideas, since I usually just make a list of books read during the year xD
I love all of your reading journal spreads!! Your handwriting is so pretty, and the way you lay the pictures out is so aesthetically pleasing!! :)
I’ve never had a reading journal before, but this seems like such a good idea to actually remember when I was reading a certain book and whether I liked it or not☺️ So I’ll definitely start one next year!😻
One classic a month sounds great! I’ve read Pride & Prejudice about 7 times I think but none of Jane Austens other books! I feel like next year is the year I will read every single one ☺️
Using a separate journal for books is such a good idea (yours is beautiful too!) - I might steal it!
Just thought of making a reading journal because I have been reading a lot this quarantine and I want to optimize and organize my activity. So happy to bump into your video! Thank you for the fresh ideas and artistic inspiration. ✨ How I wish I could make a journal as beautiful as yours. ❤️
Those are beautiful journals. I just got into this journal loophole and I'm learning that's there are a lot of other things to journal about than your day to day life.
Your aesthetic is so warm! I love it. I may be late to the suggestions for the book covers, but I saw Mel S suggest a colored outline, which is a great idea. Maybe do gold/silver/bronze based on how you rated the books?
For the which books you've read, you could look on etsy for clear sticker paper stickers with script that says "read", so you can still see the full cover through the sticker.
japanese lit suggestions: before the Coffee Gets Cold, The Traveling Cat Chronicles, The Housekeeper and the Professor, Convenience Store Woman
I love The Traveling Cat Chronicles!!! One of my absolute favorite books everฅ^•ﻌ•^ฅ
I used to start notebooks all the time but about 3 years ago resolved to stick to one at a time and to complete them whenever they naturally filled up. This means, however, that I am jealous of this idea of dedicated journals by topic like your reading journal! Oh, and the only notebook I've allowed myself to use has been by rhodia partially because I love the paper and also to try to curb my notebook acquisitions. Watching a bunch of your notebook reviews as I consider whether my journaling goals should change in 2021!
I have been seriously considering starting a reading journal specifically so all my book thoughts can be captured in one place. I love looking at yours, it has given me a lot of ideas. Thank you!
Can I reccommend The Inheritance Games by Jennifer Lynn Barnes? I just finished reading it a week ago and I thought it was very exciting. It's a little bit like the movie Knives Out, but more YA. It's really fun and there's some mystery and romance as well :)
I’m such an avid reader and this really motivates me to make a reading journal! I use a bullet journal as well but that is mostly for my to dos and monthly collections. I think it would be nice to use a different journal specifically to reflect on what I read. Thank you so much for this inspiration!
Such a gorgeous journal and beautiful spreads! I always wanted to start one but wasn't sure how. You have definitely inspired me to start!
I love this idea! I spend a lot of my journaling time in my traveler's Notebook, but I think it wouldn't be too bad to set aside an insert for a reading journal. I love all those vintage looking spreads 😍
You are so aesthetic... 😍Will definitely start bullet journalling from year 2021....thanks for inspiring ❤❤
So glad I discovered you - the academia aesthetic is lovely and may take some of those recommendations in my bujo for 2021.
This makes me feel really inspired to start my own reading bujo! Very lovely setup! 🤍✨
I love how you combine collage making and bullet journaling !! 💗💗
Wow! Thank you for the inspiration! I am going to try some of your ideas. They're absolutely brilliant.
I love your set up! I try to do pretty/fancy spreads, but they never come out like I planned, but it’s still fun to see what I end up with. 😁 thanks for the inspiration!
This video really motivates me to get out of my reading slump and start a reading journal as well!! Thank you 😊
