This is one of the best Reading Journal layouts I have seen, and I have watched what feels like a gazillion videos trying to decide what I want in mine and how to organise it. I am taking a lot of inspiration from yours, thank you 🥰

Such a gorgeous journal!! I love the idea of doing a story graph spread at the end

This was fun to watch. Many of your favorite books of the months are some I love as well, (And one I loathed🤫) I’m currently reading Snow Child. I’m so entranced. I’ve read all of Backman - Anxious People is my favorite. I’ve said it before, but it’s worth repeating. I’ve watched so many reading journal videos, until I saw yours my brain couldn’t settle down and distill what would work for me. I feel like you capture content in a practical way (also, with beauty) and it has helped me focus on how I want to do mine. So thank you.

I’m sorry you were hassled about the kitty content. Sometimes I feel the internet is full of people who have nothing better to do but virtue shame. As a librarian, If feels akin to those group who rummage for what they see as salacious content in library books (books they have never read, BTW) just so they can challenge them. What a way to spend a life.

I love wrap up page at the end—wrapping up your stats as well as wrapping up your design.

Lessons in Chemistry was one of my favorites :)

@tace9242 8 months ago

It turned out so beautifully! I love the different themes - I think my favorite is the ocean and the milk & cookies. You know I love a good Bubba reference too (even an AI art one!). Thanks for sharing your journals with us!

Have you read the teturn by nicolas sparks? Chapter four was all about beekeeping and hands down, i never thought i would enjoy reading about bees so much lol

@raerankin8195 8 months ago

I read Murmur of Bees because you mentioned it. I am still thinking about it.

This was such a beautiful journal Susie and I'm excited to see how filling out your space jellyfish spreads will go too.
I've heard a lot of people talking about story graph and was wondering if you wouldn't mind doing a tutorial video with it. I'm a visual learner and just someone talking I cannot seem to comprehend what you are suppose to do. I have made an account, but for the tutorial on the app it is a lot of words and moving here and there. I honestly tried my best for about 45 mins to give it a shot and I'm about ready to delete it.
