Katie, this is one of the most beautiful, creative book journal I’ve seen anyone put together. Your labor of love creating it shows. It’s simply stunning! You won’t have any problems completing it. It will bring you joy every time you open it. Superb!
Gosh I just absolutely love this journal. I do not have the patience or artistic ability to make one of my own but I would totally buy one like this if I could. Gorgeous! 💗📚
By far the most gorgeous Reading Journal I've seen so far! (and trust me I viewed a lot of these 😂) ... You are so incredibly talented and creative - big thumbs up!
Hi Katie! It was so nice to meet you in Madison, thank you for writing in my book and leaving your channel ref'd so I could find you. You mentioned this video, so I wanted to check it out. I LOVE it! It's such a beautiful piece of art and such an inspiration to me. You are so artsy! I love the Dutch doors or barn doors and how you've used them to create more space. Thanks for explaining how to get colored photos of your book covers! What an great solution to a problem I've noticed other bujo creators have mentioned. I love the design of your unread books. It makes sense and is designed in a surprising 3D optical illusion. And your 2020 re-reads is so creative and inviting. For end of month stats, I like Amy's (from Amy's Bookish Life stats where she breaks down pages read each month. Because sometimes it's a little depressing to see I might not reach my books read goal by number of books, but a page stat might justify the fewer number of books if they were chunkers. You are so talented. I look forward to seeing more of your videos. Subscribed.
Sarah!! What a nice message. I worked so hard on this journal-I only wish I’d kept up with it. Maybe next year I’ll try again (and maaaaybe make it less complicated??). Keeping track of pages read rather than books is a good idea. SO nice to meet you yesterday!! I loved being around bookish friends-it inspires me to start making videos again. One of these days…🫣😆❤️
Wow. This is professional level talent. I absolutely love your journal. Would love to know more details about the pens you used (not that I could do anything anywhere close to yours but it looks super fun to try!). Thanks so much for sharing this with us.
This is so pretty, I can't ever imagine using a black paged book but it comes out so nice! Your spreads are all really well done. The hack for printing your book covers seems really cool, I got lost a bit with the technical aspects of it but that's because I'm computer illiterate. I will ask one of my kids lol I'm sure they will understand!
Wow it is so beautiful and labour intensive! I created reading journals for 5 of my grandkids & they were not even close to this level! I basically gave them a few questions to answer, required parts (author, title) and to create the book however they want. Your’s is gorgeous.
Absolutely gorgeous. I have been looking for inspiration for a a reading bujo. This Is It. I have a black bujo waiting to be used so I am going to take my time and set it up for 2022. YES I would love to see more of this. Thank you.
The video I've been eagerly anticipating! This is so beautiful, Katie. I love that it is not only beautiful, but functional. Definitely will be revisiting this for my 2022 journal!
I really love the Dutch doors. The pens work so well on the black; I had no idea how effective they were, so I now want a little black journal for creative purposes. Don't forget that if you run out of room, you can add in folded sheet to make a double page.
I just stumbled on your channel, while searching for books/reading journals. I am starting my first reading journal and love your spreads! Your journal is beautiful and your spreads are very well thought out and unique, and just I love your Dutch doors! ❤️
I loved your video! I'm planning to start my own reading journal soon, and this was super inspiring. I especially loved the reread spread, what a great idea! Thanks for sharing
This is ridiculously adorable! I don't even know where to start. The spacing page is brilliant - I've never seen that before. And I really love the book page where you document books you've read. The little flipping bookshelf is so cute! Do you have a video that shows an update after you filled in more of the books over the year? So cute!
Katie, you created a beautiful journal for your reading! Simply stunning. The black pages are so unique and I think it enhanced your already beautiful designs. I would definitely watch more journaling videos, should you choose to share them. Be safe and happy reading! 🙂
Ok I absolutely adore this. I’m heavily in the planner/journaling community and have been for many years like going to national conventions etc years ago. So I already knew about your journal and those markers since everyone is talking about them right now. But your book specific journal/planner is so beautiful and well done. I would love to see updates of it throughout the year!
I think it is so so so beautiful. Really. It is a masterpiece. I just wanted to tell that you're very good in drawing and organising. Thank you for sharing and I truly hope that your 2021 went amazingly
This is so beautiful. It will be so nice to go back and look at this. I know that attempting something like this is beyond me, but good for you. You are so artistic!
Oh my god. I love this. I've been trying to figure out different ways to use my journal since I already have a separate planner for work/to-do scheduling, and this really inspires me! Thank you!
I put off watching this cause I knew I'd be super jelly of your reading journal. 🤣 It's GORGEOUS! Thanks for the tip about shutterfly. I dont have a color printer either. I always use layout for pics of the books I've read for the month but I just post that to my IG. I like having a little snapshot of what I've read that month.
Thank you! Saw the Armand Gamache series and wondered "That's a French Canadian name for sure". Google some info and am now ordering some of the books for hubby and I. love to discover Canadian authors.
This is Gorgeous, it almost tempted me to scrap my already set-up journal to make one like it! The black pages certainly add to its beauty. I'll definitely be bookmarking it for my 2022 reading journal!
Omg this just brings my inner artist & organization queen so much joy! I'm a new booktuber so I just threw together a little journal to keep track of things but now I see I need to step it up. So nice & creative! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Ah thank you!!! So glad you started a channel-can’t wait to check it out! This is the first time I’ve ever done a reading journal so I say whatever you’ve done to keep track of things is perfect!!
Girl, I have got 530 unread books we'll be shameful together I love this, and would love to see the setup video. I think it would be amazing to revisit this at the end of the year, and see everything filled in!
Your journal is stunning!! One of the most beautiful ones I’ve ever seen. I’d for one love to see your set up video. Also for your monthlies, I do spreads for any read-a-thons I’m apart of. They are really fun to do!
Your reading journal is really pretty. I wouldn't have considered a black-pages journal for mine but yours looks amazing! I hope you'll be very happy with it, as much as I am with mine! :)
I love your journal and the black looks stunning! My own journal is much less artistic than yours but you’ve inspired me to add some things. I’d be interested in seeing future monthly spreads. (The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe spread was genius!)
Yes the setup video! Post it! Also, how do your jelly rolls write? Any skipping? Maybe we'll see how they do in the setup video!! :) Seriously gorgeous work!
I know I already told you this on IG, but your journal is just so STUNNING! I even made my mom watch your instastory because I knew she would love it too! It makes me wish I had a journal with black pages (and also even a fraction of your talent ha!)
Beautiful reading journal-I don’t think I’d be comfortable working with black pages. As for your TBR...only 560 books? You would not want to see my shelves, physical or ebook. Regarding your setup for rereads, you never know how the year will work out. I was surprised by how many rereads I did in 2020 - more than I realized at the time. Do you copy favorite quotes/passages from books in your journal? Would love to see the setup for some of your pages!
Wow. I have absolutely no patience for making my bullet journal look beautiful, but I appreciate people who do! Mine is just a bunch of lists, lol. You’re amazing!
Katie, this is one of the most beautiful, creative book journal I’ve seen anyone put together. Your labor of love creating it shows. It’s simply stunning! You won’t have any problems completing it. It will bring you joy every time you open it. Superb!
Would love to see a flip through of the completed journal. This is beautiful!
You are so talented! This is beautiful! If I would have received the black page journal, I would have freaked out-you made it a masterpiece :)😀
Really beautiful! I didn’t think I’d like the black pages but by the end I’m in love with them. Glad I stumbled across your channel!
So gorgeous! Love what you created on black pages. Your artistic talent makes the reading journal stellar.
Gosh I just absolutely love this journal. I do not have the patience or artistic ability to make one of my own but I would totally buy one like this if I could. Gorgeous! 💗📚
I still can't get over this. It's so dang gorgeous!!
I love the black pages and your handwriting is so neat. Love it all. Beautiful pages.
I used a black journal for my Covid journal. I went through a lot of white gel pens, but I loved it. Fit the mood.
Beautiful! I have never seen a journal with a black background. Happy Reading!
By far the most gorgeous Reading Journal I've seen so far! (and trust me I viewed a lot of these 😂) ... You are so incredibly talented and creative - big thumbs up!
This is a beautiful journal and the black pages look amazing
I love this, lots of inspiration! I would live to see a flip through of the journal at the end of the year!!
I have watched dozens of journal set-up videos, and yours is hands down my favorite. Thank you for the inspiration and excellent explanations!
I've been in a reading and bujo slump for months..this video's inspired me to get back to both!! Thank you!!!
This is the most amazing, creative and glories book journal I’ve seen in my life!!!
I really love looking at the black pages, and i love the way you put it all together. Very creative and beautiful!
I just found your channel. And you did a beautiful job I love how it’s a black journal with all the paint pens. Bravo.
That five star reads pages are so cool!!!

Thank you Rhonda!! It was for sure a labor of love!!
I started journaling after I saw your journal! I love it so much!
I love the set up and designs you did with the black pages. Thank you for posting! It gave me inspirations for my next journal project. 📚😊📖🖋
Thank you for sharing your journal - I was taken aback when you said the journal had black pages, but it came out beautifully
Your reading journal is amazing. I love the idea with the black journal.
It's so gorgeous ! Wow !
That "unread books"/purchase tracker you made is absolutely brilliant and I've copied it into my reading journal. It's a spread I sorely neeeed!
Absolutely encouraging n beautiful.... Am in love with black pages now!!! Ur thought process is commendable.... Love it
Absolutely gorgeous. I have been looking for inspiration for a a reading bujo. This Is It. I have a black bujo waiting to be used so I am going to take my time and set it up for 2022. YES I would love to see more of this. Thank you.

Great journal! Please consider doing monthly videos.
You can really see the work you put into this, well done!
You have some great ideas I haven’t seen before. I’m preparing to set up a reading journal for 2020 so I appreciate yours.
OMG I am in love with this spread! I might take some inspiration from you for my 2022 reading journal :D
WOW!!! This is beautiful and soooo much work!
Loved seeing this! Thank you for showing us! I'd love to see updates of how it looks as it gets more filled in😊
