- Hi friends!! changing it up this week from the typical bookish content to share my very first reading journal I started for 2024. I did not consider myself a creative person previously, but I have found so much joy in creating these spreads despite the imperfections. Thank you so much for spending your time with me while I share my current setup.

Are you sure this is your first time making a reading journal? Because this is absolutely stunning omg!! 😍😍
Hahah yes, and I wish I started sooner!!! Thank you for your kind words 🖤✨️🫶
We need a video on just your divine feminine spread!!! I love it!
Sooo happy you love it too!! I'm hoping that once my lists have a decent amount I can translate them into a recommendation video or something similar 🥰
You inspire me to start gathering up some stuff and maybe do my first one next year! I love journal content so much. Yours seriously looks SO GOOD! 😍 I love all the different styles throughout it.
Thank you so much!! 🖤 that is so kind of you. I have found such a new love for journaling and journal content. If you ever get into it, I'm sure it will be amazing and I can't wait to see 🤗
I also like different themes on different pages, because it doesn't lock you in to any one style, and it is fun to create. I hear ya on the FL unread books (and maybe other subs...whoops) oooh, I like the dutch doors! I love your Moody page too! Holy shit, your feminine page! 💜💜💜💜 This looks soooo good. I'm glad you decided to give journaling a try. I find it to just be a soothing mental health thing, and it is fun to look back at what I read in the past.
I don't even have enough supplies of one certain theme to keep it going 😂 gotta work with what I have as much as what I like.
Thank you so much!! It is SO soothing. I'm beyond happy that I found this outlet and way to mark memories 💗 I can't wait to see how it evolves over the year.
18:52 You're like Wednesday and Enid 😍
That's so cute I didn't even think of that!
@@WickedScorpio Yeah!!! Two great personalities, in one! 🥰
This is so amazing! I love your spreads so much 😍
Yesss Library of Bad B*tches 👏
Thank you so much friend!!! It has been so fun 🥰
HOLY COW THIS IS INCREDIBLE SARAH! I love your ARC spread but honestly your 24 in 2024 is bada$$ too and I love the feminine energy spread as well and the moody one ugh! I honestly could go on all day about how awesome this is - I can't believe this is your first one! It truly looks amazing 🤩
Thank you kelsi!!! I SO appreciate all your kind words 🖤🤗 I cannot wait to see what comes of it over the year. I definitely want to incorporate more mood based or specific book based spreads as I go. More "eye candy" as you put it in your video 😂 it makes it feel that much more personal and makes me feel more creative.
DUDE!!!! this is SO good!! Omg I aspire to be as creative as you. 🤩
I love the vibe of all of the spreads, my faves are the title page, the arc tracker, the moody spread (are you kidding me, this is incredible 😍) and divine feminine. So basically I love your whole journal. Amazing job.
THANK YOU!! 🫶✨️ it's been an absolute blast, honestly.
It looks so good, Sarah. My journal got thick quick, we'll see how long it actually lasts. I adore that Divine Feminine spread and am really looking forward to your recs this year!
Thank you so much!! That means so much especially with how amazing your journaling skills are. I may need to use your technique of taping on an extra paper and folding it in
This turned out so well! I love your Arc and Moody spreads so much!! 😍😍😍 It looks so good!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you so much!!! 🥰🥰 I've never made something I was so proud of 💗
As a big mood reader, your MOODY tracker is just amazing. That A24 envelope sounds dreamy
Yesss mood reader all the way🙌. I will probably eventually do another one very similar just with other vibes. Thank you so much for your kind words 🖤✨️
Your Journal is so amazing and intricate I love it!
Thank you so much! 🫶✨️🖤
These look so good! I love all your different page themes.
The Divine Feminine page is A+++
Thank you so much!! 🖤✨️😊
I dig your journaling style. I appreciate the vibes and love the choices you made. And I hope you keep on sharing. (If you really aren't happy with the series tracker, you could cover the edge drawings collage style?)
Thank you so much, that's so kind! I'm going to try to share my monthly spread set ups, but im just trying to figure out if it should be a video on its own or include it in a tbr vid, or something else.
That's such a great idea for the series tracker. I will definitely try to find some paper or stickers to give it a little more going on
I discovered reading jounals while I was researching productivity journals this month and became obsessed with them. Have watched so many videos. Started my first reading journal with different themes for each spread. Your ideas are great. I copied and cut out some pages from a Simsimsy reading journal I got off of amazon. I have bad hands, so can't draw alot. Thx for sharing.
They are SO rewarding and I just love having this creative outlet. It's nice that they are so personalizable and can be as simple or as complex as you want. Ooo i will have to look into simsimsy!! Thank you
I made a multicolor one, every page has a different color. I have the crayola supertips 100 package and I will use every single one of them xD
That is such an awesome idea!! I love that
This was the journal I used as my very first reading journal last year….loved it so much I got another Yop and Tom for this year.
It's so nice! If it holds up, I will definitely buy from the same company again.
I love your divine feminine spread idea! ✨️ Thank you for sharing.
Thank you!!
Loved your video and spreads, my favorites were the layered pages- the one with the envelopes and the Divine/Feminine pages.
I would love to recommend the following Unhinged/Feminine/Woman focused reads:
-VOX by Christina Dalcher
-Copycat by Kimberla Lawson Roby
-The Wives by Tarryn Fisher
-A Recipe for the Perfect Wife by Karma Brown
Romance recommendation:
The Dinner List by Rebecca Serle
Rebecca Serle writes romance novels with magical realism - I've read 3 of her books and have enjoyed them all but The Dinner List was extra special.
Happy reading and journaling! 😊
Thank you so much for your kind words and your recs!! I will immediately be adding them to list 💗
@@WickedScorpio you're welcome! Thanks for replying. 🙂
This is amazing for a first journal!! That divine feminine page is sooo good. I'm still setting mine up for this year, but some of the things I've learned (which really is just personal preference) were:
-Each moth I made spreads for 4+ star books, but realized I was just mimicking making Pinterest boards so I started losing interest in doing this "physically". I want to keep each month more short and simple now.
-I got sucked into buying lots of "stuff" (ephemera, paper, stickers, etc.) and felt like it was getting too "scrapbooky". I'm planning to lean more into drawing and less cut and paste.
-Anything that required daily tracking was completely not sustainable for me lol
-I want to experiment more with "physical" crafting like dutch doors, pockets, etc.
Can't wait to see how your journal evolves throughout the year!
Thank you so much!!
Ooo yes I love hearing what type of spreads worked for people and which ones didn't. I may do one page each month for my fav book if it was a 5 star, but I'll feel it out each month. I don't have digital pinterest boards so that would be it for me.
Tori from toribetween pages uses much less supplies. Mostly just markers and stickers do def check her out for that inspiration. I have the "too much" gene and totally bought too much 😅
Will you be posting yours?? I would LOVE to see it 💗
@@WickedScorpio I'll have to check her out! I'm not sure, honestly I've been discouraged about making videos in general lately but we will see haha
hii im new to your channel! I would absolutely love to see what you eventually add to your moody and divine feminine lists! I'd love to incorporate that idea into my journal this year too 🫶🏽
Yayyy so happy to have you!! 🫶✨️ they were one of my favorite spreads to do for sure! I will definitely do some follow ups on the growing lists 🩷
I love this! U gave me so many great ideas. Thank you.
Yay I'm so happy to hear that! 🖤
wow, i love this!! so pretty and so much effort, too!
Thank you so much!! I appreciate your kind words 😊✨️
You should be so proud!! Your reading journal turned out beautiful
Thank you so much!! 😊🖤✨️
Love the ideas. May I ask how you print the small book covers and what sticker paper do you use.
Thanks! I just ordered sticker printer paper off Amazon and use it in my printer like normal sheets. I make a Google doc with the book covers and print from there :)
@@WickedScorpio Great! Thank you.
You did an amazing job with your journal! I loved it! 😍🥰
Thank you 🤗🥰
@@WickedScorpio you're welcome 😊
Damn this is really impressive!
Thank you!! 😊
Lovely journal did a good job for a first timer. ⛄❄️📚☕
Your journal is so gorgeous!!
Thank you!! 🖤
Well this is flippin cute as hell!
Thank you!! 🤗
Thank you so much for sharing your reading journal! I super enjoyed this and am looking forward to watching more of your videos 🤗 I'm a fan of the gothic vibes ~ and your nails 🖤
Thank you so much for your kind words and support!! 🖤✨️🥹
💚🖤
🫶✨️
Absolutely loved your spread! The different vibes honestly look amazing!
Thank you so much! 🖤✨️
I love how gothic the vibe of your journal is! It is gorgeous, I made mine in one day and IT SHOWS! hahaha - this is perfection! 🤩
Thank you so much 🥰🥰 You have to do what is sustainable for you, so if one day is all you can give it, that's still amazing!! Especially when there's kids in the mix, whatever time you can get for just yourself or your hobbies is an accomplishment!! I also have the "too much" gene and get way hyperfixated on stuff and need to do the most and buy all the fancy stuff for said hobby 😂😂 I actually held myself back from doing more and trying to make it more sustainable so I don't burn out immediately
@@WickedScorpio yeah, I need to do stickers nowadays instead of actual illustrations because otherwise I’ll quit. I’ll still use it (at least until it gets warm outside) daily, but I rush my setup before I lose momentum. But I totally get the hyperfixation - I’m right there with you. 💛
This looks so good! Love all of your spreads❤ you should be proud!! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much!! You're so kind 😊
So excited!!!!
This came out amazing! I love it! Followed you on IG!
Thank you so much!! I appreciate it 🫶
