    When a story is easily rereadable, it's a book I am sure I love. I'm forgetful; maybe it's because I read so casually to the point of ignoring a book's title and author because I only care about the plot in its blurb being "interesting". So, when I latch on a story to the point of remembering it's title (and then the author), that's when I know I really loved that story HAHA. I think this is why starting a reading journal was so alienating and I could never feel belonged to any "book club" because for the life of me, the authors and titles mentioned are... foreign (or maybe because the scope of literature is just different, but even in cases that the literature is familiar, the depth of reading really blows my mind as I'm easily leaping from one title to another.)

    • @guessimbeth
      @guessimbeth  4 месяца назад +1

      I completely understand that. I feel like I had the opposite experience though, and that’s why I felt I needed a reading journal. I could remember the title and the author, but even if I loved the book, I struggled with remembering the content. So I’m envious that you can remember the experience more

    As someone obsessed with the Maggie Stiefvater and Laini Taylor books, my favourite to recommend is the Winternight trilogy by Katherine Arden, and then I will read anything by VE Schwab. I quite like Carissa Broadbent's worldbuilding, but beware the spice 😆 Omg my actual current favourite (glances at reading spread) is Godkiller by Hannah Kaner.

    • @guessimbeth

    hey there! I loved this video and I really can't believe it's your first one! I was ready to binge aaaall the videos on your channel, your voice is so soothing. Your 2023 journal is the prettiest journal I've ever seen and it really makes me want to have my own. I probably won't though because this is going to be a really busy year for me, but I look forward to watching your 2024 flip through! I must say, I'm kinda disappointed you didn't like throne of glass because it's one of my favourite series. I read a bit of what you wrote about it and many of your issues with it have an explanation in the rest of the series. When I've recommended this series, I've always said that you have to kind of suffer through the first two books to get to the real good stuff (which I know is a pain and it shouldn't be that way), but I'm so in love with the plot and the characters that I can't not recommend it. Anyway, not trying to be pushy, of course it could just not be your cup of tea but I just wanted to share my two cents about it! Hope you have a great day!

    • @guessimbeth
      @guessimbeth  4 месяца назад

      Hi! Thank you so much! I’m glad you liked it. And thank you for sharing your thoughts! I didn’t like acotar so I was hoping to like throne of glass, but I just don’t think I enjoy young adult literature as much as I used to. I still read it, and sometimes something comes along that I do enjoy, but I find myself less and less interested in picking up ya. I hope you didn’t mind my aggressive words in that review 😅 when I wrote them, I wasn’t thinking that anyone would read them

    • @captainboomerang1783
      @captainboomerang1783 4 месяца назад +1

      oh not at all! I also have very opinionated thoughts on some books and I actually found the way you wrote it kind of funny! I thought that maybe if you were on the fence about whether or not to continue reading the series, some encouragement about it getting much more interesting would be nice to hear, but not every book is for everyone and that's the beauty of reading

    i like to ramble to myself in the comments while i watch videos you can ignore this lol.
    my reading journal looks very different its very plain. i have it formatted like
    _______________
    Sunday, Feb 18
    Book: Yada Yada
    Author: Ooga Booga
    Genre: Non-fiction, History Pages Read: 1-70
    _______________
    and i just do that everyday i read. when i finish a book i write a lil (tiny in comparison to yours kkkkk) review in it as well and put an annotation tab so i can see when i finished a book by looking from the side! i do have a resolutions page and i have a page that has all the books i read every year. one journal usually lasts me two or more years because its so simple and theres no spreads lol
    originally i had a days read tracker but it was making me too stressed and i was just reading to fill it in i wasnt reading for fun. maybe when i get a new journal that has dots instead of lined paper ill try the way you do a tracker, but thats a future me decision
    the supertip marker on the bookshelf made it look like wood imo, at least on the camera. i mix different formatting when reading too
    i LOVEEEE the ocean/whale theme in your 2023 journal, my 2024 planner has a shark theme :))

    Also, I really liked your flip through. Your spreads are beautiful. As someone that reads voraciously I sometimes wish I could muster up the patience to make a spread for every book I read, but I've found that (for me personally) placing that expectation on my head only upsets me, when I inevitably fall short. Still, I love seeing the spreads other people make.
    I've seen you've read the All for the Game series, have you heard that a new book about Jean is in the works? I think it's suppossed to be called the Sunshine Court. I am excited about it!

    • @guessimbeth
      @guessimbeth  3 месяца назад +1

    If you don't discount it (which is understandable) I feel like tons of books also start with 'A' or 'T'. Maybe that's because I mostly read Fantasy, but ACOTAR really set a trend with names and I can't count how many times I've read "A something of something" or "The something "

    What pens do you use for the bulk writing in your journal? I like that it writes really small. x
