    I loved watching this! I realized last week that I don't think I read a single book all the way through last year because I just could not focus on anything thanks to all of the insanity of the world last year. So I set up a a goodreads page to track my books, but I'd rather use a notebook so I can take notes on what I've read. And I have a stack of books that I've bought since the beginning of the year and I'm pretty excited about it!
    Thanks for sharing your journal. I'd love to see more bookish content. :)

    Hi! I just found your channel! I wish I read as much as you do. :) I read mostly audiobooks since it allows me to be doing something else at the same time. Always multi-tasking! I keep track of my audiobooks in my bullet journal... but its typically only a few books a month. 100 books a year would be a lovely goal! :)

    The product recommendations are great, but for those of us that don‘t like ordering from Amazon for various reasons, I would just like to mention that you should be able to get most, if not all, of these at your local stationary or art supply shop

    I do track some reading in my bullet journal - it is in the front. I broke the Bible into 3 sections and placed it over three pages to capture my reading. I had some large books that I want to read so I broke down their content so I could track them. I did not give myself any room for commentary. i was looking at people's reading journals thinking I may move my spreads to a larger format so that I can comment and discuss on each section.

    Bonjour Mackenzie ☺️
    I am french, and i am kinda touring bujo vids to start my first books bujo for 2022 !! anyway i wanted to let you know, if you're interested by french culture and history that Émile Zola did a great series about a French family during XIX°c France. It is called "Les Rougeons-Macquart". Younger, i had to read one book from the serie for school and i enjoyed it ! So this year i'll give me the challenge to read the whole thing haha
    I'm telling you about this because you might like it to explore French History, Zola being a really great writer and i've saw that it was really well translated (french version might be a little hard to understand for a learner, depends on the level but definitely still complicated for a native 😭👍🏻)
    Thanks for the video i loved it !!
