your spreads are so gorgeous!! i loved this flipthrough! i’ll have to come back to this when setting up my 2025 journal 💕
Awe! Thanks friend. I’m glad it inspired you. 🥰
Hi! I’m a new sub. At the 24:00 min mark you mention an (pengo??) order with cute packaging. What is the name or website? Thanks!
Welcome! Thanks for hanging out in my corner of the internet. 🥰 Pango books is an awesome app that lets you buy and sell used books. The sellers usually wrap the books and some include stickers or bookmarks.

I loooove these spreads for magical readathon thank you so much for participating and for sharing these 🥹💜 hope you had fun!
OMG! Thank you G! 🥰 I had the very best time. This was my first year participating, and I've just started my own character journal (hoping to share that soon too). I think this world you've created is phenomenal, and I'm excited for the Fall Equinox in September!
oh wow your journal is phenomenal, just watching you flip through it was a magical experience!
Awe! Thank you so much. It's given me a fun creative outlet the last few years. I'm glad you enjoyed!
it really is magical. i now need to have a reading journal 🤣
Do it! It’s so fun.
Your journal is so creative and beautiful!
Thank you so much for encouraging me!
Oh my! Your journal is beautiful!! 😍
Thank you so much Vrinda! 🍓
Wow! So many spreads I never thought of! Loved your buddy read spread and your “book awards”! So creative!
Thank you so much 🤗 Reading is so much more fun with others, so I always have a buddy read on the horizon. I'm so glad you got some new ideas!
It was very cool to see all of the spreads and I got a lot of inspiration for my own book journal! Excited to see the set up for the new one :)
Glad you enjoyed it!
I need to up my game apparently cause goddamn. This is Picasso to my Kindergarten-esque journal
You are too kind! I’m really proud of this one, but when I look at my previous journals I feel the same way about them. It definitely takes time to find what works well for you. I used to try painting these beautiful spreads because that’s what my favorite creators were doing, but never loved what I was making. I love paper crafts, and started to embrace that style and am working against my instinct for perfectionism. Enjoying the process will absolutely make you fall in love with your own journal. Keep playing with it and you will have a Picasso too!
Beautiful spreads. ❤ Do you usually talk with so much vocal fry? 😅
Lol! I think vocal fry just comes with the territory of growing up in Southern California. I’ve got that strong Valley Girl accent. Though I try to keep my “likes” to a minimum 😂.
wow, your readathon spreads are stunning! Including so many Dutch doors/tip-ins allows the spreads to shine while still including info. I love that you've used bookmarks and other elements that tuck into pockets, so cool! you could maybe use some of those blank pages at the end to reflect on the six months-- from what spreads worked, ideas for the future, what books stood out; maybe some personal journaling too, so when looking back at what you were reading you can also have some idea of what was going on in your personal life as well.
Hi Laura! Thanks for the ideas. I ended up printing out the graphics I made for my mid-year freak out tag, and making a spread in the back. I’m also going to transfer the vocabulary I’ve been documenting in my phone back there too. 🥰
@@manda_made both cool ideas 😁
Love this! May I ask, did you create a student report card for the Magical Readathon yourself? I can't seem to find it in the readathon drive, but would love to have it if it exists! Update: Nevermind, I see that it was available in the Discord!
Haha! You beat me to my answer. What character are you playing this year?
For anyone else curious, you can find it by searching “student report card” under the scribe tower chat in discord.
@@manda_made I made an elf and ended up in The Order of the Crescent! I chose Master of Elements as my calling, but there are plenty other callings that also appeal to me so I might choose a different one to work on for next year, hehe! I'm quite far behind in the readathon as I'm starting so late though so I'm not sure how much I'll be able to complete until the autumn equinox lol. Getting back from a very long reading slump :p
Love everything about this!
Thanks book bestie! I'm glad you found some inspiration here. 🥰
it was such a lovely video! it gived me so much inspiration! For your last blank pages you could do a playlist of the kind of music you listen will you are reading, or maybe a song related with every fav book
That's a fabulous idea! I wish I were in France right now. I was there in April and loved every minute of it. Hugs!
love love love your journal setup!! the colors and patterns are so fun!! quick question because i’m curious, what made you set up your tbr horizontally instead of vertically? thanks 🩷
That is an excellent question! I set it up vertically last year because I was using a more narrow A5 size journal, and having the spread vertical allowed me more space to write across. I suppose it didn't matter for this journal though since its a square! haha. I've never thought about it, but now I'm excited to switch it up next year.
Thank you so much for watching! I hope you got lots of ideas for your journal.
So many beautiful and interesting spreads! I love what you did with square journal layout.
I just finished the first book in Shades of Magic series, I LOVE your spread for it!
You can maybe leave the pages blank so you could cut them out and use in new journal if needed. And the new one is stunning! I adore the colour you chose. I'd love to have a square journal but the shipping from a&o is extreme lately (i know, not their fault) and i haven't seen square journals anywhere else or they were not shipping to slovakia :/
Thank you RyeMi! Its such a beautiful series. I love VE Schwab's writing style. I was hooked from the first page.
I believe that A&O are working on getting their products in to international stores, so maybe soon you'll be able to ship from a closer country.
@@manda_made ohhh i hope so :D
Your journal is legit incredible 🎉🙌
Thank you so much!! 🍓🫶🏼
your journal is beautiful simply wowww 💖💖💖
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed a peek 🫶🏻
Love the way you made your journal! It inspired me to make one of my own❤
I also loved you kind if secret Bingo! It makes it so much fun to fill in!
This is the best compliment! 🥰 I am so excited for you to start a journal. Just remember to have fun with it, and adapt it to your reading styles! Please let me know if you share it anywhere! I want to see 🫶🏼 (and I agree, I think I’ve got the best bingo board style 🙃)
this inspired me too, i can't wait to create my own
Your journal is beautiful…..a lot of inspiration here! May I ask what type of paper you’re using for your book photos?
Thank you! 🍓🫶🏼 I use the A-Sub photo paper from Amazon. It’s 66lb (thick like cardstock) and very shiny. Here’s the link though: a.co/d/0dTUHJUL
I’m also trying out this style. It’s like a magazine paper feel (thin, less shiny) and I like this for most images now. If I’m creating a flap I’ll use the thicker one.

@@manda_made thank you so much!
@@ronettewinston1706 of course! I’ve found that any printer when matched with the right type of paper, will give you a good print. Since I use a photo printer, photo paper works well and copy paper does not. It stinks that there is so much trial and error involved. Good luck!
I absolutely love your style omg such a pretty journal 💘 wow
Thank you so much!!
it really is so pretty
