    Hey guys and welcome to my channel! I’m Julia and I’m setting up new spreads in my reading journal for 2023. This is my 3rd year documenting my reading and my 2nd reading journal. I’ve learned a lot from the first go around and wanted to walk you through my spreads for this year and how I’ll be using them to track and document my reading journey. Let me know what your favorite spread is, and if you use a reading journal. I really want to know! #2023readingjournal #readingjournal #booktube

    It’s so nice to see someone else that prints things on sticker paper. I thought I was the only one and felt like I was a loser lol ❤

      Thank you x1000 for making my day, seriously 🥹💚 - wish you the best of luck on your reading journey!! I’ve come a longgggg way with reading more in just a couple of years for sure.

    This journal is stunning! Not only the cover but every spread you did. Also, you’re handwriting when you do the capital letters for the genres is so good

      Ahh! Thank you so much 🥰💕

    Very beautiful!! I love the plastic sleeves at the end to hold the cover prints. That’s genius!

    I think I would love to start a reading journal. I listen to audio books because it’s hands free and I can get housework done and work on art or whatever. It would be nice to have a place to write down my thoughts and favorite quotes or moments in the books I like.
    Thanks for sharing!

    • @julia-here
      @julia-here  Рік тому +1

      Absolutely!! Im right there with you. I love to listen to audiobooks in the shower/as I get ready! 😝

    oh wow, your idea for the pouches is brilliant! I’ve kept a reading journal for years but next year I’m thinking of adding the covers. it’s nice to have a visual of what I’ve read! the pouches will definitely be a big help, thank you so much for sharing! 💗

    • @julia-here
      @julia-here  Рік тому

      No worries! And last year, I didn’t do the covers all together (just on the separate book spreads) but I love love love having the visual of all the covers together. Thanks so much for the kind words! :)

    Love your pages! I do not have a reading journal but I want to start one and this has given me some great ideas to use.

    • @julia-here
      @julia-here  Рік тому

      Thank you!! And best of luck starting yours, absolutely! I know there are some reading journals out there with tons and tons of tracking spreads (and they’re super cool) but I try to keep it as simple and functional as possible so I don’t get burnt out with it.

    I love the pouch idea. I print out my covers as I read them because I'm also a mood reader. But maybe I'll implement this in my next reading journal.

    • @julia-here
      @julia-here  Рік тому

      Thanks!! I usually am printing something else and don’t want to waste precious sticker paper, lol - so I’ll fill space with book covers! (Hope it works out for you!! 💕)

    I have a reading journal. Since I’m in education I have my year go from September to August. One of my favorite types of spreads are reading challenges I come across. I find that helps me when I’m not sure what to read next.

    • @julia-here
      @julia-here  Рік тому +1

      I love reading challenge spreads! I've been thinking about reading a book that starts with every letter of the alphabet.. or the every-country challenge. Thanks so much for reminding me of those! :)

    I don’t have a reading journal really, I just put a list in my long term collections journal. I do use Goodreads though.

  • @bacruz1
    @bacruz1 Рік тому

    I'm starting my first reading journal in 2023 (the notebook hasn't arrived yet so I'm doing all my planning on loose-leaf paper hahaha). One thing I'm doing is a list of 20 prompts/characteristics/genres which I'll use a D20 to help me pick (when I have decision paralysis), so for example an autobiography, or a book in a language I am learning, or a book written by a woman of color from a different country, etc

    • @julia-here
      @julia-here  Рік тому

      I love that!! Great idea. Are you closing your eyes and moving your finger around to land on one? Also, best of luck on your first reading journal; that’s super exciting!

    • @bacruz1
      @bacruz1 Рік тому

      @@julia-here Thank you!! I'm numbering them 1 to 20 in a random order and then using my lucky dice to guide me in choosing a book (don't know if that makes sense?) I'm really excited to get started!!! I am also doing a Bingo card with quirky/different items like "author is a capricorn" or "I could see this becoming a Wes Anderson movie" or "friendship goals"

    • @julia-here
      @julia-here  Рік тому

      Totally makes sense! I may add in a bingo card at some point. Those look super fun 👌🏽

    I was wandering how you print out the book covers ? X thx

    • @julia-here
      @julia-here  Рік тому

      I have a home printer and I just use sticker paper so I can just peel and stick but some of them are just printed on copy paper as well. I arrange them in InDesign (I use this software for work and recommend using a free app like Canva or something instead) at 1”x1.5”

    Hi! Which type of pen is the red one used for the recommended spread? I couldn't figure it out and I long the colour. Your journal is so good!

    • @julia-here
      @julia-here  8 місяців тому

      I gotcha! I still have the 'making of' footage so it was fun to figure this one out; for the outline (and recommended lettering), it's an Archer & Olive Acrylograph (color: blood orange), a Cricut fineliner (color: very berry) for the inside red lines and row headers, and a Staedtler Dual Brush marker for the alternating row highlights :) - hope that's helpful! Thank you so much for the kind words :)
