“… going for Morticia & Gomez Addams gallery wall. Does that make sense?” - OMG, YES! I love it!

The page you added into the Books Read spread is so well done! It looks so intentionally and pretty. Love it!! Your reading journal videos are my favorite 🥰

beautiful spread!! your journals are gorgeous

You are going to love The Lost Apothecary. It was sooooo good!!!

i looove the lost apothecary!! i hope you enjoyed it!!

Beautiful ideas. I just write the books I read in a composition book. These ideas are much more interesting.

Such a cute theme and I love the progress tracker! I have a small progress tracker in my regular bujo, not this good where it follows the days but rather just a small line boxed in where I mark roughly where I was in the book before that month began with slanted lines and then fill it in with a highlighter as I progress/finish the book. I forget where I stole that idea from but that person had it in their weeklies

Love this sm! So cool you wanna try new things. Thanks for sharing and wishing u the best on ur book journaling adventures! Love ur content.

I love the idea of a reading journal! I really ought to read more, seeing this is motivating!

I have a pages read page where I just color the squares in for every 20 pages I read in a day. I also have a bookhaul page and a wishlist page. And a favorite quotes one

I just love these sort of videos so much. Thank you.

I’m still in like March in my reading journal cause I made the choice to do all decorative spreads… I’m now pretty sure I’m switching to simpler spreads now! 😅

Ahhhh! Love your reading journal!! Love how you added space for your book log. It turned out pretty and seamless. My own book journal is less artistically focused and more about data collection, but I really vicariously enjoy how beautiful yours is!

You just said you don't read physical books in front of a librarian!😂 Thank you for promoting Libby and libraries. And I'm with you about not finishing books that aren't engaging. There are no quizzes, tests, or papers to write, so we don't have to finish any book we aren't enjoying. Thank you for the video.🙂

Goodness, I adore your reading journal. I'm loving your switch to doing monthly themes now too. And my mind was blown with the progress bar layout for tracking books. I've done the calendar layout (albeit slightly different than you have due to using a blackout journal) all year long, and I'm itching to try something different. Maybe I'll give it a go in November! Please keep me/us updated on how it works for you, if possible! For my monthly pages, I use the same ones almost every month: Cover page, Monthly View (where I track my calendar view, ARCs I have to read and Books I purchase/get gifted), my TBR/Prompts list, Library Hires and Buddy Reads are all on the next two paged spread, and then a Reading Log as I don't do individual review pages, though I'm seriously considering it for 2024. Finally, I do a bigger Stats page with bar graphs and a collage of all the books I read each month when the month is over. For Sept and Oct I've participated in Readathons so I have a giant monopoly board spread in each month. I'm a Gemini, and I've done the same basic foundation for every monthly setup since January until September where I finally caved and tried something new - I got a little bored. Now I just want to spend the rest of the year experimenting to see what I'll use as my basic foundation for 2024. I hope that you get to enjoy making new spreads, and that you enjoy your reading (especially The Cruel Prince, I love that world).

Absolutely loved this video! The October spreads are so cute I love the caldron stickers so much! In my monthly reading journal set up I have two extra pages that maybe you’d be interested in trying- first is one I call my hauled page where I list what books I buy that month and do a mini graph of books read vs books hauled (I just draw books in each column so I can see if I’ve read more or bought more) then the last page is my stats for the month. So I do stuff like how many books are from my own TBR, hauled or borrowed, how many pages, how many hours listened. I also include information such as what genres I read and then my favourite book that month. Can’t wait to see more reading journal content from you!

i have A TON of washi tape, and use different tapes for different books. the only downside i have for it is that i tend to read more than one book at a time. so A LOT OF THE TIME the washi tends to overlap each other. but i LOVE the look of it!

Love your stamp set with daggers batcwings and cauldron ❤❤❤

I just finished re-reading the Throne of Glass series... the middle book was slow but if you stick with it the whole series is worth the read.

Beautiful setups❤

I am OBSESSED with all the October stickers and washi! 😍 I want to do a reading tracker, but I definitely don’t have the time for it right now unfortunately. I’m hoping to do one next year!

I love watching you setting up pages. You have such great style.

This was so inspiring and motivation, that I really would want to get into my reading journal now! Only thing is, I read so slow that I usually only finish 1 to 2 books a month and I don't really see the point in setting up many intense pages for that. But it's a pleasure looking at yours 😊

I don’t read physical books much anymore either- I like the feel and the smell, and they’re great for showing you’re otherwise occupied when you’d rather not be interrupted, but I’m light sensitive and get headaches and migraines, and being able to read white text on a black background, along with the convenience of a library in my pocket, kindle unlimited saving me from buying books I despise (or just don’t love enough to want to spend money on), and no embarrassing book covers- even if you don’t read books that are especially embarrassing, some of the cover choices authors have made are… unfortunate. And I never expects be an audiobook lover, but there’s times (like driving) when I just want to be reading but my eyes are needed for other things. Not to mention there are some amazing performances.

Very cute.

I am a digital book reader now myself, but I would prefer to read physical books.. Because I now have a visual impairment and large print books are difficult to come by, I have embraced the digital book and will soon be delving into audio books, as well , in an attempt to hopefully find another alternative to reading physical books. I do miss holding a book in my hands and turning the pages...😥

Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov could be a good October read. Its kind of Halloweeny. Its written in the Soviet Union period and its one of my favorite books.

Your reading journal is so pretty! You have given me lots of inspiration to start my own!

I've just bought a Sprocket after seeing your short! It's the perfect item for book cover pages which I'm going to include in my reading journal from now on. I'm going to try the progress bar in October as well I think. I keep monthly stats but in next years journal I'm planning a yearly stat page. Great video, thank you for your great content!

I really loved Deborah Harkness "All souls" series (3 books), starts with "A discovery of witches". It's right up my alley; witches, deamons and vampires sprinkeld with a tiny bit of brittish history ^^. I've read them a couple of times now to be honest, especially around autumn when it's getting a bit chilly in northen Europe.

I love your reading journal theme!!! I love all the spooky vibes. I read A Witch's Guide to Fake Dating a Demon earlier this and really enjoyed it, it was cute and had a very spring vibe with all the plants so it should be prefect moving in spring where you live!

I wasn't planning on having a reading journal because I don't read consistently enough... but your reading journal is so pretty & practical I'm thinking that I might just have to give it a go! Currently on a book-buying ban until I've read at least 75% of the books I already own, so maybe a reading journal will help me keep on track!? I love the spooky/witchy vibes, October can be one of the best seasons and you're so creative with it!

I'm looking forward to your review on "A Witch's Guide To Fake Dating A Demon"! I read it right after it came out and loved it so sooooo much. I hope it brings you joy too🎉

I read The Lost Apothecary when it first came out and I remember really enjoying it. I have some reading spreads on my projects in insert on my travelers notebook BuJo, but seriously considering having a dedicated insert next year for my reads.

I do have kindle books and audiobooks. I have read a lot of books I'm afraid it might not fit in a notebook spread like yours lol same as my audiobooks. I might try doing this and see it for myself :) Nice and gorgeous spreads.

This is so fun, love a spooky theme! If you're looking for witchy romance recommendations, I really enjoyed Hex Appeal by Kate Johnson last year. I've got another book by her for this autumn which I'm really looking forward to. And The Kiss Curse is also on my tbr!

How did you like the Lost Apothecary? I really enjoyed it!

I loved this setup. I had trouble listening to It happened One Summer by Tessa Bailey. I ended up picking it up physically for me and I enjoyed it more that way. So perhaps ebook I’d the best way to go ?

Does anyone know what kind of paper she uses in that mini printer ??

Is there a link to the stamp set of daggers and bat wings?
