I bought a spiral bound lined paper journal to record my 2024 Reading Plans by Genre with books from my shelves, no dates assigned. As I am reading some bigger books next year, I am writing mini summaries to explain the characters and their relationship to each other. This is to improve my reading retention, helps me think about what I read, especially if there is a book sequel, I can quickly read these book synopses to get ready for the next book. I think Goodreads keeps track what I read by month and year and how many books I have read each year, number of pages read each year, etc. I will always low ball the number of books I plan to read with Goodreads and with this reading journal which will allow me to add more books if I choose.
I’m also attempting to make a reading bullet journal and stealing ideas from all the book tubers 😂 so I appreciate you making this video! It looks great and I LOVE your cute stickers.
I don’t really have a reading bujo but I am visually tracking my books via an Insta page I made specifically for it. I don’t really want to turn it into anything but I thought a nice little photo with a rating and a little thought about it would be fun to look back on. I really love the Bujo’s I’ve stumbled upon in my recommended (like this one) and I’m looking forward to seeing everyone fill theirs in!
I'm wondering when all this scrapbook style reading journaling started. I used to just read back in the stone age, no list. Then i would keep a list in a notebook. Then Goodreads (which I like a lot). I started also doing the handwritten journal this year but my writing is so bad I keep the entries to a list by month, copied from my Goodreads list. Not sure why I'm even doing this but it's easy enough. 😂
I literally did not notice “anticipated reads” until watching this back! crazy how that got past me!

That’s been the best part-looking at other booktubers journals and stealing ideas 😈
I don’t have a journal, but I love watching others create them. Yours looks great!
Thank you!
I really love how you've organized your journal--I just may use it as a model!🧡
Yay, thank you!
Tracking DNFs is so smart!! I've never seen anyone do that 👀
The sticky club sticker is THE CUTEST
Looks nice! Thank you Jennifer.
Thank you, Stephen!
This was really interesting. I needed some inspiration as I have wanted to keep a book journal - so this was ideal! Thanks Jennifer.
Thank you!

I've just got a plain lined composition book with a table of contents, but this was inspiring. Lots of ideas for plans and grouping ideas.
