My black cat loves to snuggle with me whenever I sit down to do any time of craft also. Must be a black cat thing 🐈⬛🖤
Of course... the fur baby not only has to get in the way of making the bed... but has to clean "unmentionables" on the clean sheets in the process. Gotta love em.
I would love to see the vlog of you reading sequels! One of my reading goals for 2024 is to tackle my physical TBR, because like you said, it’s way out of control! 🤣
Awww, of course we get a couple of cat cameos because it’s clean sheet day! 😂 also, yay new reading journal video ❤🎉 my reading goal is 140 as it has been for the last several years (last year I read 208 books bc I was on medical leave for a couple months so that’s not a realistic goal 😅) 📚 I have a list of 24 books off my TBR that have been hanging around for a couple of years that I want to get to this year (I did a 23 in 2023 that I read about half of so kind of helpful lol). And I also have fun challenges like the Heaving Bosoms Reading Embrace, Pop Sugar, BN, etc.
Haha they never fail to wake up from their naps to help me make the bed 😂 Oo nice, that’s a solid goal! Did you find yourself mood reading a lot or following along with TBRs and challenges?
I mood read enough that most challenge categories are covered - sometimes I do have to go looking for something (the Ripped Bodice summer Bingo always has a few categories that I have to go find a book for if I attempt blackout), the Popsugar one is really complicated this year because many prompts are oriented around "24" in some way and I may not feel like "mathing" for many of those
@@PlantBasedBride
(that little "chase and pounce" Yoda did while you were putting on the sheets - mine do that too haha)@@PlantBasedBride
I joined a few book clubs to get back into fiction this year. I was a voracious reader all my life until i discovered iPad, UA-cam and crafting. I find fiction boring - ! I read a lot of non-fiction. I journal and am a stationary enthusiast, so the idea of a book journal sparked some interest! I read two books (fiction) this weekend, and have a list of classics to start reading to hopefully reignite my passion for reading fiction. My goal then : start a book journal, read at least two books a week - one fiction and one non-fiction. 🤞🏻 I’ll ❤ fiction again. 😊
this is honestly raw talent Elizabeth!! I've been watching your videos since the start and I've been obsessed with your book taste, we are so alike!! I have been keeping a book journal since last October and I'm never going back!! every time you post you make my day 10x better!! thank you for being such a book inspiration!!
You're the best, thank you! 😭❤️ your comment made my day 🥺
I love your insect and book coupling! So beautiful! My book bracket is also one of my favourite spreads too. Although, I still didn't decide between my top two for 2023, haha.
Haha oh no! I can relate to how hard it is 😂 I force myself to be more decisive than normal when I make my book bracket video each year because I don’t want to waffle forever 😅
My goal is 45 books. I made my goal 10 more than last year. I love watching BuJo videos. They are so fun! I want to start one…but I’m scared of the commitment. I work full time and it’s hard to have me time. I’m 23 and I work as a CNA and I’m very, very busy. Whether it’s working or sleeping. It’s hard to find time to sit down and read or listen to one, BUT I’m determined to make it to my goal!
I’m so excited you’re continuing with reading journal videos! They’re some of my favorites. I love seeing the spreads come together and hear about what books you’ve been reading each month. I love this theme too!
📖📚📒
I’m just coming out of a long reading slump so my goal this year is 25 books. For me, it’s just the most realistic. I’ve read 4 so far, so I feel like I’m off to a good start. Hopefully I’ll surpass my goal. My favorite this month is Persuasion by Jane Austen. I was honestly surprised by how much I loved it.
This is stunningly beautiful 👏👏👏
Do you read in French ?
I am French, my husband is American and I still find it tiring (although enjoyable) to read a whole book in English. We live in France, it'll be my excuse!
I read around 50 books a year, I really wish I had more time...
Once again, congratulations on your set up, it really is amazing.
If you read in French, I recommend you "Veiller sur elle" (Jean-Baptiste Andrea) which is a fresq around sculpture in Italy just before Italy's fascist period, and a beautiful impossible love story between a man coming from a very poor background and a very rich woman. Worth to be read, it is recent as it received the "Prix Goncourt 2023" and I have no idea whether it has been translated, it would sure deserve it.
Cat zoomies during the sponsor segment was the best
I agree 100%....My cat does the same and I love it!
They make doing chores harder but more fun 😂❤️
Same 😍📖
Hello! This is my very first year joining a Book Club reading Challenge & documenting everything I read. I really enjoy it so far! 😁📚
📚 love the spreads!
Such a beautiful journal! ❤📚
Loved the setup! I always enjoy your style and creatively! Happy Reading!
It's so beautiful, as usual. 📖
Such a fun video! 📖
such a good set up, I love it ☺☺
Lovely 📚🍂🍄🦋
As someone who used to be a big reader as a child but stopped for a long time - and now trying to read again, I really love your reading journal videos because I kinda see it as a goal? Like, i wanna read enough books to actually need a journal for it, if that makes sense 😅
Beautiful journal
📖 I look forward to all of your videos. The quality is amazing
Gorgeous as always! You made me want to start doing a reading journal last year - I just set up my 2024 one! Excited for another year of good reads!
You inspired me to do the reading around the world challenge as well, I started last year and it's been going great, I love learning about new perspectives and cultures through literature. 😊📚
Thank you for the wonderful book content. I get so many good recommendations from you. 📚
It's very pretty🥰📚
📚i realy loved this video, so relaxing and your reading journal is so beautiful💛
I've been so excited for this video!
I hope you enjoy it! 🥰
My goal is always 50 because I can always hit it. I don’t tolerate pressure well, so I make it easy. I read 118 last year so I feel pretty confident that I’ll read plenty. 😁📚
Your Journal setups always turn out so pretty! I adore this one. Also I just finished Iron Widow and I loved it so much. It is early for this, but I wouldn't be surprised if it made it to my top books of 2024. I hope when you end up reading it you enjoy it just as much!! A goal I want to do this year is reread more. I rarely reread a book and I just love doing it when I take the time to do so. I wish you luck in all your reading goals this year!📚
Hi have just discovered you and your channel wow !! I am super inspired to make myself a book journal - thanks so much for sharing ❤❤
Fantastic set up video, as always! I have just completed my own set up and one of my new goals for 2024 is planning more buddy reads with my bookish bestie. We did 4 last year and they were some of our favorite bookish memories from the year, so we want to do 6 this year.
📚
🤩 Wow, your whole vibe is on point, I aspire to be you ngl. You should definitely do that video idea!! My reading goal for the year is 30, I’m not a huge reader but you have inspired me to read more. 📚📖
I’m always excited when you post 🥰 I loved this!! 📚
Aw thanks! 🥰 I’m glad you enjoyed it!
This was beautiful! Love your nails as always!!
Thank you so much! 💅🏻❤️
📚 Love watching your reading journal videos. Beautiful set-up as always! I don't set a number of books I want to read goal for myself - it just doesn't work for me. So I just read and whatever the number is, I'm okay with that. 🙂
Excited to see "A Day of Fallen Night" on your 24 in 24 list. I'm currently reading it (about 1/3 through) and absolutely loving it so far! Definitely going to have to ready "The Priory of the Orange Tree" too!
Gorgeous spreads! I've been reading the Canada Reads list on ebook, whenever the library sends them to me. 4 down so far, several from the shortlist! It's a fantastic way to read more Canadian authors.
The Angel's Game is amazing i loved it so much!
your bullet journals are so inspiring by the way! Can you do a complete flip through of your 2023 reading journal? 🤍
watched this whole thing as I created my own reading journal and loved the reading around the world page!
Elizabeth, your reading bujo setup is always one of favorite videos! Just beautiful and inspiring. And, can I take a moment to love on Chewy and Yoda!!! Best bedding sponsor video ever😻😂… I just finished Louise Erdrich’s The Painted Drum, a five star read for me; which has lead me to an author book challenge. Reading as many of her books as I can. I just picked up 5 more of her titles, starting with her Pulitzer Prize winner The Night Watchman, today! Thanks for another wonderful video🌟✨🧡📚
Gorgeous work Elizabeth, well done!! I think my approach to reading this year is to read until the year runs out and do the count then... I am keeping track of the pages read so there's that. Good luck with your goals this year.
Always love the reading bujo content you share- drop the 2023 reading bujo flip through please! My goal for the year is 60 books 📚I’m still using the same journal from last year because I only used about half, so I was also conservative with my yearly spreads. Honestly, the first time I saw you share the reading around the world challenge I was like omg that’s too much I could never 😂 but seeing you make so much progress is inspiring! I might have to try it out next year 🤓🌎
The way I’ve been waiting for this video all month. Such beautiful, thoughtful designs as always. So looking forward to hearing your thoughts on this new round of books! As a fellow lover of Winter’s Orbit who took forever to read Ocean’s Echo, I’m eager to hear what you think of the sequel! 👀
Definitely enjoy every one of your videos 😊 definitely liked the coffee notebook, wish they'd add a 'coffee' inspired notebook all the time lol ☕☕
36 expected books read in 2024. Yes, would like a reading blog. But I watch your videos as you post them. Thank you.📚📚📓📒 I am hoping for more business focused books this year. 💚💚💚
I NEED some new sheets so bad, but I'm broke haha. Thank you so much for the awesome discount. I'll still shop there! I'll be getting a Full-sized bed sometime soon! I also need to read more. Thank you for your awesome videos! You inspire me to read more! My books need some love and reading! :D
always a cute and simple and beautiful set up 📚
Thank you! 😊
Your spreads and layouts are always so nice! I’m committing to 12 non-work related books this year! 🐈⬛🐈⬛
I love these ideas so much and am so excited that I’ve started reading much more lately. With ADHD, I haven’t read much long form content in a long time but recently I’ve been really inspired and have picked up so many great books. I have read more this year than all of last year combined!! 😮 📚 so excited to continue finding great books. Thank you so much for your recommendations and your spreads. They’re inspiring! I love that you want to read around the world… I’d love recommendations from that challenge specifically if you’re so inclined.
I'm super excited for your Notion video!! ❤
I’m so excited to share it! I’m just finalizing the last little details 🥰
I watch your book journal videos twice, because they always soothe me to sleep, but I need to see the whole thing.
Love your content! Been following since the beginning. Never have made a reading journal, but got all my materials & will start one today! Thank you. 📚❤
Oo how exciting!! I hope you love keeping one ❤️
I loved Hexa! ❤ One of my goals this year is to read more books in English (I’m French Canadian). 📚
📖Another great video. Thank you for your time and efforts.
Also, I have the same notebook. I am a die-hard Archer & Olive fan. 😁
Everybody! It's finally here! ♡♡♡♡♡
🥰
📚🎧 I find it very hard to find books, that I will love. But at the moment I'm binging a series that I found as a teenager. Enjoyed your video, love your style ❤
I haven't consistently reading since middle school so 20 books for this year but I have the feeling that I'm going to read more
I started keeping a reading journal for the first time last year, but only starting in July and keeping track of the second half of the year. I re-read 64 books and read 56 new books in those six months, so yeah, totally understand you on the voracious reader thing 😅
I'd love to see more of your reading journal getting filled in over the year. It's beautiful!
I plan on sharing more this year! ❤️
The tiny moths & butterflies, are those stickers or images you printed and cut out? They are perfection!
I don't have a number of books goal this year, but my goal is to read something new. I tend to reread books every year and I feel I am in a rut. I have rejoined your book club and doing another book club as well, so that is helping me to pop out of that rut.
I have this same notebook in the b5. It does look amazing as a reading journal. I need to do mine soon.
It’s such a pretty one! I hope they bring it back in all sizes 🥰
Beautiful spreads as always! I really enjoy your reading journal videos 💖
My reading goal this year is 18 books, I've already read the first one!
I'm trying to add more non-fiction books to my readings, and the 2nd book I'm reading is a non-fiction, so I feel pretty good about that!
There are days in which I simply can't read, and audio books don't work for me, so 18 books are a pretty good challenge. I barely got to 18 last year 😅. But I'm excited about this year! I have a series to finish, some Jane Austin for February (will be my first time reading her work ❤) and some new genres to explore.
Yes! I do want to see your Notion Tracker! I've set up a Zettelkasten type database, but am very interested how you make your work.
This journal's aesthetic feels like Green Academia, love it!
The spreads are so beautiful!! I have to sya I was constantly just watching the cats the whole time too 😅💜
Haha I’m glad they added to the video! They love getting involved on fresh sheet day 😂❤️
I would love if you showed us how you use Notion for your reading!
The vintage nature/book combo is lovely! My reading goal is 60 this year, but I'm making it a goal that all sixty are 500+ pages. I got into a groove of reading ~200 books a year, but more often than not they were between 200-400 pages. I'm trying to read more slowly and take my time this year.
I always love the book bracket. My top three were so close it was dreadful to decide which was better Thanks to you I picked up Monstrilio and Kaikeyi and loved both. Kaikeyi especially was a new favorite. Have a great day!📚
Loved the set up! 📚Following along for a reading around the world challenge - let's see how many countries I cover
Trying to get one of these square journals is absolutely impossible in England, but my letter from God arrived yesterday 😂😂😂😂😂. Love all your spreads.
📗📖💚 Stunning reading journal format! My reading challenge for 2024 is 40 books. Last year it was 52 and I felt like I was pushing it and choosing quick read novels to achieve my challenge, rather than really enjoying my reading. A fantastic non-fiction book I've just finished and gave 5 starts to is Rick Rubin's The Creative Act: A Way of Being. So many tabs for interesting and resonating paragraphs - I've bought the book and also the audible version. Just need to get me some Tombow markers and other stationery supplies you've recommended to tab and highlight my own copy 🥰📔📝
I've just recently started getting back into reading more than what has been in my book club over the last couple of years. This year my goal is 50 (that's a lot for me!).
I don't have a specific number of books in mind for the year, but I am committed to tracking how many books I read this year. In years past, I started off tracking but fell off the habit somewhere in March lol. This year I hope to actually track every book so I can get an idea of how much I read!
📚 some of my five stars this year have been don’t go without me by rosemary valero-o’connell, the late americans by brandon taylor, what you’re looking for is in the library by michiko aoyama translated by alison watts, and crumbs by danie stirling! graphic novels and literary fiction have been hitting lately haha
Portrait of an Artist as a Young Man - I listened to Colin Farrell's reading on Audible. Fantastic!! It made all the difference. It was my first James Joyce. Colin's performance helped so much. It was so good. Just putting that out there. 😊
Hoping you try the manga/manwha prompt. I'd love to see what you'd pick ❤
My first book of the year was "What the River knows" by Isabel Ibañez! It plays in egypt and I gave it five stars 😍🙏 best way to start my reading year!
I had book amount goals the last few years trying to read more, last year managed to read 28 for the first time. This year I have 3 different type goals: build a daily reading habit, read 6 books from my collection (nonfiction/informative) as I keep buying and not reading books on topics that interest me, and read more fiction (joy reading). I quite like fiction reading but always feel guilty for some reason? Like I could spend the time better on info books, but I think joy reading could help me find back some creative inspiration & help me relax instead of playing games on my switch before bed 😂 I don't keep a reading journal like yours, mine has (daily) reading logs with notes on books I've read (be it whether I enjoyed it or info notes) + amount of pages read. Not to judge myself on how much I've read but to maybe see how my reading patterns change with times/genres.
Love the book bingo prompt idea. I’ve tried the read harder challenge before but I never finished it. Bingo format might help. Thanks.
It’s a really fun way to motivate yourself to get to the prompts ☺️
📚 omg I didn’t know you had a blog post for the Around the world challenge ! On my way ! I’ve started last year and I’m very very slow so maybe you’ll help me get more into it.
I do! I’ve kept updating it as I get more comments on that original video with suggestions, though I am a bit behind 😂 if you go to my website it’s the first blog post on the homepage (plantbasedbride.com) ❤️
I have a suggestion for your door stoppers category! I am a new subscriber to your channel (and loving it btw!), but I believe I recall you mentioning trying more Stephen King in a video I saw. I have read a lot of King, and in my humble opinion, "Needful Things" may be his best work. It's a chonky boi but the way that man spins the story is utterly amazing.
📘
I've read a few great books this year so far, my favorite has been Margaret Atwood's Oryx and Crake I think! 📚
My reading goal is 125 too! I read 175 last year but that felt like I was rushing to get to the next book a lot so there were some books I couldn’t luxuriate or simmer on, so I want to read a little less but give myself more time to think them over!
I'm not a reader but I'm working on it. I read half of a book last year but honestly I consider it a good thing cause before I used to fall a sleep whenever I read 😅...I'll try harder this year, starting with a novel my friend wrote, I'm just wating for her book to arrive in the shipping. 📚
This year I decided to make my entire bullet journal book themed. Each month is based on a book I read the previous month! As for recommendations… I think you might enjoy Kaikeyi, by Vaishnavi Patel. ETA I am watching your book bracket video now... never mind! ☺
I just finished A Day of Fallen Night and really enjoyed it! I have read all of the sequels you mentioned by name and they are all pretty good. You’re in for a treat!
I use this app called Smart book that's really great for translating a book from another language paragraph to paragraph if you have the actual book file. It's been a life saver with learning and reading in Spanish for me as someone who does not know enough Spanish for how often she picks up Spanish high fantasy 🙃🙃🙃
I am excited to see that you are planning to read the follow up to the Parable of the Sower. I haven’t decided if I will read it this year. Looking forward to your review. 📚
I’m really looking forward to it! I feel like I’ve finally had enough time to recover from the first book 😅
I find your taste for your reading bujo exquisite and I love how you help me expand my taste in litterature. I picked up Braiding sweetgrass thanks to you (but still have to read it 🤔). My reading goal is 25 for this year. Hope to make it as I fell 1 book short my objective for the past two years... 🤷♀️
📚
Aw thank you! I’m sure you’ll love Braiding Sweetgrass. It’s a fantastic book! I’m sure you’ll hit your goal this year, but if you don’t it’s still a win since I’m sure you’ll find a few new favourites ❤️
I hope this isn't a weird ask but do you have a reading playlist??? What do you listen to while you read? your own thoughts? that would be crazy
I just finished "final girls" and liked it alot it was a 5 star read for me ❤ don't judge me too harshly I'm new to reading LOLLLL
I loved the cat playing when you were making the bed. 📚 SO adorable. Wonderful ideas in this video. I made your tea stained paper a while back, and I am almost all out! I am hoping to finish at least 2 Outlander , by Gabaldon books this year. It is very difficult for me to find time to read. So just 2 door stops for me! Plus a small handful of nature books too.
Chewy and Yoda are always ready and willing to help change the sheets 😂 oh awesome! I need to make more soon. I love how good my house smells on tea staining day 🥰 I definitely tend to shy away from door stoppers since I love getting to read lots of different stories, but honestly they’re often worth the effort!
Your video actually inspired me to start a BuJo for my blog/newsletter. So that's great! Your videos are lovely and a bright spot. And A&O is just the BEST. My blog journal is the new Celestial one. And I have that Washi holder in my Amazon cart 😮
My Husband by Maud Ventura and The Decagon House Murders are my first two five star books of the year! I read My Husband in English but it was originally in French, and the main character is a French/English translator. Relationship suspense. The Decagon House Murders is a Japanese cult classic murder mystery, so works for translated and non western classics goals. Reads like Agatha Christie fan fiction in the BEST most creative way
Hello I didn’t see in the link where you got the vintage scene book stickers (11:02) and was wondering if you could let me know ?
📚 I set a goal of 100 books this year but as I'm already (rather unexpectedly) 27 books in I think I will have to up it! In conjunction with the overall goal I am also doing a classics challenge and a TBR challenge. My TBR list has also gotten rather...unwieldy. 🤣
I'm keeping my reading goal comfortably attainable this year. I met my goal of 50 last year, but when I went through a slump, that number stressed me out and I thought I wasn't gonna make it. I've given myself a goal of 12 and anything extra is a bonus 📚✨
Coming out of a long-time slump with a lot of brain fog and fatigue, so I'm keeping my goal this year very small-- I want to read 48 books this year. (currently looking for where I put the stencils I need to finish setting up my reading journal, since I have a couple blank spaces set aside...)
I've read two 5 star books so far this year. The Lonely Hearts Book Club by Lucy Gilmore and Pride by Ibi Zoboi. 📖 This is my first year creating a reading journal.
I like to make my goal match the year, so this year my goal is 24. Since it’s such a perfect number, I want to make it 12 fiction and 12 nonfiction, one of each a month. So far I’m really ahead which is great, last year I only made it about halfway whereas the year before I exceeded. Thank you for the book bingo inspo, I looked up prompts on Pinterest but most of them were really simple (which is fine of course but not what I was looking for). Can’t wait to see what you read this year!
