- Hey y'all! I'm Shaun and I want to be your new book bud! I'm a stay-at-home-mom of two toddlers rekindling my love of reading after a years-long slump. I'm a serious mood reader, a (comparatively) slow reader--I read 2-3 books per month--and I am not afraid to DNF a book that I'm not vibin' with. I'm a horror/thriller and lit fic kinda gal, with a dash of magical realism and heavy dose of anything/everything gay

(Please excuse a few minutes of shakiness during the section where I describe my tools. I didn't realize how easily my dining room table shook. The full flip through with context is much sturdier)
If you don’t want your table to stain your stuff but still see the table, use a clear vinyl/pvc (?? Not sure what the plastic is called) table protector. I’m in Australia so I can’t recommend stores to check out other than large hardware stores
Love your journal and that black bust is gorgeous 💙🇦🇺
I love your perspective on 2 stars not going up on Goodreads. From your mood reading vibe, to your love of horror and owning of non-fiction-you are a reading soulmate 😊. I’m happy to subscribe!
🥹🥹😭 thanks so much for being here 🙌🏽
You are a natural in front of the camera. You look so much like my friend, DeAnn, that I had to give you a folllow. Good luck with your channel.
That is very kind, thank you! In truth, I feel very awkward and like I am not quite portraying myself accurately. But I am trying. Thank you for subscribing!
I'm obsessed with your title page! I never know what to do for that, and a collage is a great idea! You could find some cool fabric and re-cover your journal. Your headings are so creative. I thought the bingo set up was great too. I dont think it matters how many books you read a month. There are many people out there who read like you and will appreciate your page. Great job on your journal and on your first video!
Thank you for watching and for your kind words✨🥹
I feel you with the recovering perfectionist thing. It's hard. For the marks on your cover, tim holtz distress ink could help you to "age" all of the edges and be in control of the color and intensity, taking back control of the situation. It's great for distressing pages in your journal, too. And for the tide stains, you could use a grey colored pencil or light grey tombow to add a shadow to your lettering on your contents page, and it would hide it beautifully. Other pages you could use a bit of washi over the stain to add emphasis to your headers.
I've spent a lot of time trying to not obsess over perfection, but the bottom line is that if something bothers me enough, it drains my joy of using it. So I still have some tricks that I use for big mistakes. Hope that helps 😊 your journal is super cute!
These are all great tips, thank you! I do have so very cool purple holographic washi that I just may start incorporating 🤔
Congrats on your first video!!
Thank you for watching!
Just found your channel, subscribed ...good luck👍📚
