My Reading Journal Setup for 2019
I used an A4 refill pad, some decorative craft papers and watercolour paints to make my journal this year.
I took inspiration (loosely) from Lady Cottington’s Pressed Fairy Letters by Brian Froud.
I love the messy inky look in this book and all of the letters that you can open and I wanted to bring those elements to my journal.
It might seem like I put a lot of work into the journal but it was actually pretty fast and easy to do. Hope you enjoy the video 🙂
This is so cool! You’re so crafty. 😀
I love your source of inspiration, too. Brian Froud is fantastic.

My social media accounts are the closest I get to a journal but I do own and love the Pressed Flower scrapbook 😉

Just watched your video. I love your journal! I have a simple log that just tells me the title and author, whether it is fiction or non-fiction, the format, my rating and a short one line thought about the book.
I did start a bullet journal over a year ago and I kept it up for a bit, but then stopped. I now just have a good diary and my book log 🙂 I also have several spreadsheets on my PC to keep more detail records.

I love using spreadsheets on my PC as well. Portal in the Pages on YouTube has a great Reading Stats spreadsheet

I started a reading bullet journal and have really enjoyed it thus far. Sometimes I finish books before I release/plan book reviews so it helps me gather my ideas for my blog. I also make a lot of collages from magazine pictures to add to the character of my journal.
