📚 Reading Journal Setup for Spring // 2nd Quarter Layout & Books
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 21 ต.ค. 2024
- Today I'm so excited to share my Reading Journal Setup for Spring, where we're creating the cover layout for the 2nd Quarter and do a wrap up of some book I've been reading recently.
We're continuing with the scrapbooking style approach for the decorations that I've really been enjoying for this journal. It takes less time than creating drawings or decorations yourself, and it also gives me a purpose to use my growing collection of tapes and prints, haha.
If you want to find a list of the books I've been recommended to, see my (short) reviews of them and have a better look at my up to date "Want to Read"- list, you can find those here:

Because of you and your audience I am reading and loving 6 of Crows and Crooked Kingdom 😊
Ahhhh I think it's the best series I've read in a while! 😍 All thanks to my audience, they got me to it as well! 😄
So happy I found your channel. Love your style 🤩🤩
The Golem and the Jinni is on my tbr too!
This came together perfectly. So pretty. I agree that Lord of the Flies is very disturbing. I had to read a feel good book after so I could get the lingering angst out of my mind.
I felt exactly the same way 😅
Every spread is gorgeous! It's like looking at a mini art gallery.
Thank you so much! 🥹❤️
WoW. Very beautiful arteork 😍😍
Thank you so much! 😍
The Golem and the Jinni was such a good book! I love your style in your journals ❤
The other Boleyn Girl, is like the 9th book in the Plantagenet and Tudor novels by Philippa Gregory. I would recommend you reading the others as well if you like that book. It may help it make sense in certain places. But they are all amazing books and a fantastic series if you want a LOOOOOOOOOOOOONG series to read. Xx
before reading six of crow everyone should start at the beginning with shadow and bones trilogies, would make everything much more understandable, shadow and bone, siege and storm, ruin and rising, six of crow, crooked kingdom than king of scars and rule of wolves, reading in that order will help make a lot more sense to everything :)
Ahhh you're probably right! I didn't find Shadow and Bone that interesting so I didn't pick it up, but I think doing that would've helped 😅 I think reading Six of Crows was still possible without, but it was just a little bit confusing in the beginning.
I was wondering if I should do that…
I really enjoyed your pages again. They are gorgeous ❤. Thanks for the wonderful ideas again, I will definitely start reading the “Crow” books 😊
Thank you so much! 😍 Ohh I hope you'll enjoy them as much as I did!
Thank you for these wonderful book pages. I want to do something similar. I would love to read next The Mountain is You by Brianna Wiest.
Thank you so much! I hope you will! 🥰 Ohh I haven't heard about this, I'll need to check it out!
Such pretty pages! Absolutely love the colors! There are so many books on my book shelf that I haven’t read yet and I do not really know where to start…
Thank you so much! ❤️ You'll need to close your eyes and just pick one, haha 😄 No, but I understand how you feel. Always too many options...
😊 so I picked one… the American roommate experiment by Elena Amras
I read The Other Boleyn Girl last quarter- fantastic, but heavy!
These are some of my favorite videos of yours (though it’s hard to pick) because I get to see beautiful journaling and also add a ton of books to my list! 💙
Awww thank you so much! 🥹🤍 They're my favorite videos to make too!
This Journal is gorgeous.🥰 I love your quarterly approach, I'm such a slow reader and can sometime feel intimidated by reading journal vlogs.. but not yours. I love how you generously promote other artists and their shops (Hedda's work is gorgeous and I have yet to order from her shop but know I will because I love her yt and ig accounts) I recently ordered from your shop... Your work is stunning. I'm waiting... Patiently? ... for it to arrive 🥰 (it's only been two days since I ordered but I'm excited already)
I'm so happy you feel that way! 🥰 Nothing wrong about being a slow reader, we're just savoring every book to the fullest, haha! I honestly wish I had more opportunities to promote others but I have very limited opportunities to use stickers and stuff in my videos, since my audience is used to the "let's draw it ourselves" -approach in my other videos 😅 Hedda is SO talented and such a lovely person ❤️ And thank you so much for the order, I hope you'll get the products very soon! 😍
Oh what a fun idea! I started a book journal too and didn’t know it was a thing. Yours is gorgeous! I just started following you and I’m excited to see your videos. Thanks for taking the time to create and share your videos!
Aww thank you so much, it means a lot! 🥹❤️ I also found out about it through YT!
So pretty as usual! I love the design of the six of crows dulogy pages. The quarterly thing is definitely something I'm leaning into this year. My first quarter started strong and ended a little light on reading, and I think the second quarter is likely to continue light. I've been recently getting into crime and thriller books - I've just tried this series (not too sure what it's called) by Cara Hunter (I read the fifth book because I like reading crime books in a completely random order lol) and I enjoyed that one enough that I'm hoping to read the rest of the series through my second and third quarters!
Thank you so much! 🥰 My quarters are always ups and downs as well!
Ohh I'll need to check out this series!Sounds very promising 😊
Your journal is so beautiful as always.😍 You have inspired me to start a reading journal.
I just wanted to also say "the other Boleyn girl" is nothing like Jane Austen. Its set in Edwardian times and is quite disturbing at times. Personally I did not like it much, but not for those reasons. If you are looking for something similar to Jane Austen but more dark/realistic maybe try something by the Bronte sisters.
Thank you so much for the kind words and the warning as well, haha! 😄 I'll need to check out the Bronte sisters too!
I don't have a list, because I have a challenge call the blind Choice and other challenge with Romanian Authors. Blind Choice are total of 39 books that I own but some of them are on my tbr from a long time, so I am force to read them until the end of this year. If you are interested I have a few videos on my yt. I really excited to see you second quarter. 🥺😘🤭
Wow that sounds like an interesting challenge! Good way to get rid of a long tbr 😄
@@JournalAway yes it is and is very funny
Have you read the extra chapter of Verity? It is available online
Omg AN EXTRA CHAPTER?! 🤯 Thanks for letting me know, I'll need to read it!
Six of Crows would've probably been easier to get into if you read the Shadow and Bone trilogy, even though the Six of Crows can be read as a stand alone 😂
I can’t find the page anchor notebook for purchase. What size is your notebook?
Oh no, it looks like they don't have the notebooks in the shop anymore :( I bought mine over a year ago so I don't know if they plan to bring them back. Mine is in the A5 size if they do, however
@@JournalAway thank you! I may just buy a different notebook with thick pages if I go ahead with this. I appreciate your response. A5 is great for so many things👍
Maybe you like
Ohh this is already on my tbr for this year! 😍 I've been recommended this series years ago by my parents but for some reason never got around to reading it!
What genres do you like?
My favorites are fantasy, romance and murder/crime mysteries 😊 And I generally prefer books targeted to adults/new adults over teens or young adults.
U need to read fourth wing
