Love this a lot. Also really enjoy your new release tracker. I’m looking forward to court of wanderers, asap, and the newest nghi vo empress of salt and fortune book 5.

Love your set up. ...definitely gonna do the savings tracker this year cuz I feel like I spent WAY too much on books last year and I do love the library. .thanx for sharing, your hard really paid off..beautiful!

How do you do a book bingo?

Love these spreads! The link to your blog doesn’t work tho 😫🥹

Love love love!!! I've been thinking about doing bullet journal content on my channel even though I'm just a bookish vlog style channel. But idkkk you convinced me!!! And I usually do my yearly bookshelf with all the books I read coloring them in by star rating but by genre just BLEW MY MIND!!! I think I may take inspiration and do that as well 😅

Where did you get your book clip?

I have been reading for 60 years, I am going to be 64 this year and I Love books. Never thought about doing a reading journal until I saw them om you tube. Just ordered my notebook, could not get one from Archer and Olive so got one from Beechmore Books on Amazon and several sticker packages etc. Really looking forward to trying some of the ideas I have seen on you tube. Thanks so much for the informative videos. Good luck with the move.😊

Congrats on your pregnancy!! The spreads all look amazing. Im glad you said the time it took because I feel bad about how tired I get while book journaling or when a spread takes days to finish. 😅

Congratulations to YOU and your BOYFRIEND on your PREGNANCY!!!

you have inspired me to make a reading journal this year! i gave up on last years but maybe this will be the year i follow through 😂

The way I do it, I have a goal to read at least 50% of the books I haul that year, then also read books I've owned previously. I suppose it's kind of hard for you though, if you're tracking how much you save by using the library, maybe you're subconsciously more likely to use the library instead of reading your already owned tbr? Maybe that '$400 saved' is too tempting a stat, so you accidently don't read your own tbr?

So relaxing! Can’t wait to set up my journal!

I just feel like I have to let you know that I have the same problem drawing zeros in that style font, they always turn out thick somehow

I find this very endearing as someone who just started journaling. Thank you for showing the mistakes because I keep feeling out about mine.

Welcome to "Paradise" / Aloha to the island

Love your set up! I'm new to a reading journal, so I can't wait to get mine done this weekend.

Love your setup! Gave me so many ideas! Where did you get the kraft paper from? is it thick?

I absolutely love this set up! I can't wait to see you fill it in through out the year

Love your setup! I have a ‘backlog’ spread in my reading journal and your idea is exactly what I do. If I purchase a new book and don’t read it within a month (usually), I add it to that spread to make sure it stays on my radar! It works really well for me.

I love your journal! 😍For your books that you own, maybe write in your newly acquired books in a different color or font so they are distinct and then as you read them you can cross them off to both keep track of them, but also pat yourself on the back for reading them. Good luck with your move!!

I liked "read what you own" [ I usually read and add after to the bookshelf] and the design of Genre TBR Lists [cute idea] and liked most Words Definitions Pages.

I love your reading journal, it's one of my favorites of 2023. I am getting lots of ideas for my next year's :D

Why don’t you simply allocate a specific amount of pages for each month to ensure you don’t get tight for pages by 2/3’s of the way through the year?

So pretty! <3 (I love how this looks so transitional - like, yes, it's green and sunflowers but also a little bit fall)

I was SO sad that this sold out that fast. I'm a sucker for bees. Great video as always, Em!

so fun to see the whole flip. so hard to figure out the pacing for a notebook, i always either run out or have like WAY too many pages left at the end 😅 also love all the details on the blog!!

Omg yess, I can't wait for u to post more videos🥰❤️

Great video ❤ New subbie here 👋

This makes me want to update my own journal.. It's been a while 😅

Journal cover twinsies! <3

I love this so much! When are you going to post an update?🥰😍❤️

Ahhh I feel the same about ACOTAR!!! 😆 I loved that you track the "a ____ of ____ and _____" 🤣 I love your journal set up! ☺ A couple of Reading Challenges I did for my book bingo last year were: Read a book with a color in the title, Read a book with a one word title, Judge a Book by its Cover or Judge a Book by its Title (basically don't read the description, just choose a book based off the cover or title)

Hi! Where are those emoji stickers from? Love the short, and the Pouch is perfect for annotating supplies on the go!

ahhh love this! what my bones know has been on my tbr for ages but you definitely just made me bump it to the top!!!

This is the magic solution for my stats page!! This way I can coordinate it to the spread eeeeeee.

ooh, love your stats page colors for April <3

🎉🎉

I hope A&O makes more journals with bookish cover. Or at least re-release this one as I didn't even see it at that time it was on sale😢😢😢😢😢. This is beautiful btw♡♡

excellent video! great watering/soil/light tips. and excited to get my plants climbing up :)

I would love to have a reading journal like this. This is inspiring! ❤

Nice! I love it!

Wow- this is amazing! So much time and effort must've been put in for this but it shows! 🥰 I hope that I can emulate this one day 😭😅

What cover is that?

This motivates me to use my reading journal more 🥰🥰 I usually just to pages about the books I read but I think I wanna put my stats at the end of the year too

Inspiring 👍🏾❤️

Wonderful! I have yet to completely document my whole month of reading so I’m a bit green but love the way you did it!

Hi! Ok so i have a theory why your shelfie posts get so much interaction… ppl want to know HOW you set up color coding because most ppl just use type of book. So everyone clicks on it to see all your categories! Great journal! Thanks for sharing!

Oh how exciting! Your new to CZcams too! I am now all caught up on your content. I subscribed so I can see anything new from you. Welcome to the platform, it's so much fun!

I love watching reading journal videos, I find it so relaxing and motivating. I really enjoyed seeing the layouts you use and how the functionality of your journals past have worked for you. This is my first year using a reading journal and posting videos about it, so I am brand new to this community and to this hobby. Thanks for sharing your experience with us, it is SO HELPFUL!
