Ok but having the map in there is such a lovely addition ❤ definitely want to try something like that as I’ve always loved the idea of cartography
You should!!
I just finished setting up mine today and I’m so sad I didn’t see yours until after because I would’ve totally added a version of your map to mine!
You still can 😜 It could be a monthly cover page, or just a fun page you do for yourself 🫶
@@cassandralynn7 I don’t really do monthly cover pages but I might make it as just a fun page ☺️
You have SO much talent, WOW! Those maps (including this "not-so-good" one according to you) are AMAZING!!!
Thank you sm 🥺💕
Halt is my absolute favorite character. His relation ship with Gilan is really cool. a very father son kind of way.
love him too!
I love your Prythian map!!!
Thank you!!
This is absolutely stunning. That map page blew me away. Thanks for giving me some ideas for my journal.
Ah thank you so much, glad I helped you with some ideas!
@@cassandralynn7 I decided to print out any maps from the books I read this year that have them. I have a Conan the Barbarian map already in place.
Beautiful. Your simple and easy spreads look much like most reading journals.
thanks!
I love your book map 😊 I also love how you use stickers which shows others that you can be artistic but using the stickers on bullet journal is good way to decorate your pages.
Gotta do what works for you! Being creative doesn't mean having to draw all the time! 💕
Aww this is really cool i just clicked on this video randomly and saw you were inspired by my bookshelf! ❤ so awesome! Everything looks beautiful!
Ah tysm! And thank YOU for making drop dead gorgeous spreads to draw inspiration from!! 🫶
so amazing！
thank you!! 💕
😍😍😍😍😍 love your spreads, Cass!! Your map though, gorgeous!!!! It is amazing! I love it so much! I cannot wait to set up my 2024 reading journal, it will be my second one. 😊
Cheers to a second year of journaling yay!! 🫶
What a gorgeous journal! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much! 💕
I’m going to start putting mine together very soon! Looks awesome Cass!
Have so much fun! 💕
This is stunning! 😍
Thank you!! 😊
I love your spreads! They are so pretty and it’s so calming to watch! Here’s to a great 2024! 😊
Thank you! I tried to make this video a bit more relaxing 😌💙
I’m so happy. You popped up on my home page. I love that you make book map. That is amazing!! Thanks for sharing your art.
I'm glad I popped up there for you too! 💕 Happy you enjoyed the set up!
That journal map is so adorable. For 2024 is my Second reading journal and adding more drawings then 2023. So far loving 2024 progress. Happy reading!
Happy journaling! Hope you enjoy your second year of journaling as much as your first 💕
Love this setup ❤ your 'Eeb Yenoh' is genius 😊 love all the names... although we should have seen 'Norman cove' 😂
Thank you! I thought it was pretty clever haha. I can't believe I disrespected Norman like that 😂
Omwww Love this!!❤❤Your journal looks amazing❤❤❤😮
Thank you Adele!! 😭💕
That was a lovely setup. The map is impresive!
Oh tysm! 💕🤧
This is absolute goals!
Oh thank you! 🥹💕
Love this! ❤ Also, I love seeing Shadow of the Hegemon on your TBR! I just finished the Bean series this year and adored it. I don’t ever see other readers my age talking about it!
I'm excited to finish the series. I had tried reading the Ender Game series, but couldn't make it past book 2. But I think Bean is a more interesting character, so I'm curious to see where his arc leads!
Gorgeous! You did a great job with this Journal
Thank you so much!
Just found your channel. Straight away subscribed. Love the vibe of your reading journal. 2024 is gna be my first year I try to journal. Thanks for the inspiration xx
Glad you enjoyed! Hope you enjoy my other videos as well! 💕
I saw a cover for this is how you lose the time war.
I hope you enjoy it! It was so well written
It's on my list to read for next year! I hope I enjoy it too 😆💕
This is so so beautiful. I am bullet journaling for the first time this year and I am struggling BAD with lettering and creativity. I have ideas, but getting them to come out well is the problem lol
Good luck with your first year of journaling, you've got this! The skills you mentioned are things you can practice to get better at! This is my 7th year journaling & I can 100% promise you that my art used to be so much worse 😅
That's exactly where I'm at in journaling journey, as well.
@cassandralynn7 thank you!!! It was so awful that I just ripped two pages out and redone it. I'm as happy as it gets with it now so don't be afraid to cut it out and put washi tape over it lmao
Holy crappp, I loved loved loved your journal 🖤!!!! That mappppp, never have I been so glad of my procrastination traits that I still haven’t put ink into my journal lol.
Awe thank you so much!!! Happy to hear 🫶😁
I love what you did with your reading journal! Love that font style you did for your headings! And the map. I wish I could draw something like that but it feels intimidating haha and i hear you about the dutch doors! I love dutch doors myself 💛
It just took me a lot of years practicing & being okay with things not looking 100% how I would've wanted! Dutch doors for the win! haha 🫶
Beautiful journal! Thank you for the inspiration, I am setting up my first reading journal ever this year 👀
Oh yay! Have so much fun!
this is the most detailed and beautiful journal i’ve ever seen!!!!
oh you're too sweet thank you!!!
I was looking for some inspiration for (finally) setting up a reading journal for my next vlog and then I found THIS!! 😍😍😍 I LOOOOVE some of your spreads and will definitely implement some ideas in my reading journal too!! (Although I'm not as talented as you when it comes to drawing, so it won't look that good... 😬 But anyways, it will be fun nevertheless 😇) Thank you so much for sharing! 🧡
awe I'm glad you were able to get some inspo! 🫶
Hi Cass love the 2024 layout. I'm a new subscriber 😊
Thank you!! 💕 And welcome :) glad to have you here
This looks absolutely stunning! And I am so excited to set up my reading journal soon (funnily enough, I use the same journal as my everyday journal for 2024).
Also (super random) you sound super nice and happy in the voice over which really lifted my spirits 🐝🌼
Oh thank you sm!! It's so much easier to keep up with things if it's all in one place, less to remember haha. And your last comment is so sweet thank you! 🤧💕
Your journal is so pretty! I am doing my first journal this year and was feeling nervous about messing up, but I feel better now with you saying it won't always be perfect 🫶
It loses its fun if you put too much pressure on it, just have fun with it & embrace the mistakes when the occur!!
I looove stamps, but I hate that they are so pricey in my country. Still I gift myself some on my birthday :D
a birthday is always a good excuse to get something you want!
Enjoyed your narration.
glad to hear that! 💕
Hello from another Cassandra Lynne (though mine has the E)! I think the map turned out beautifully. And I love the ret of your set up. Just starting my own reading journal for the upcoming year, and you've got me inspired. 😊
Always love seeing fellow Cassandra’s! 🫶 I’m so glad I was able to provide you with inspiration, I hope you have fun setting up your new journal! 💕
Your reading journal videos are just the best. I love the clean designs but what I love the most is how much fun your voice overs are :) Greetings from Spain :*
Oh thank you so much!!
Your drawing is so beautiful
awe thank you!
The map you drew is amazing, what a great talent to have 👏🏻💛. I also love every aspect of your reading journal, from the layout to the calligraphy and decoration, I think it’s lovely 😊
Oh thank you so much 🤧💙
I love your journal! So cute.
And the aesthetic of this video was perfection. Your voice with the music was so soothing.
Oh thank you so much 🤧💕
This is one of my favorite setups I have ever seen in my entire life oh my goodness😮💨😍😍😍
omg hi Syd! Seriously, you're way too kind 🤧💕
Gorgeous 😍 I am also a massive advocate of using stickers and washi tape in journals 😅
That map though 👌🏻
Makes setting up pages so much easier! And thank you!! 💕
needed this so badly for not only inspo but motivation lol i also used to draw everything back in 2020 then also switched to the collage style once lockdown ended and i had way less time hah
I look at past me and wonder how I had the time & energy I did 💀
@@cassandralynn7 she says, as she films for 7 hours and spends 3 of those on an insane 3am map lmao
@@JanAgaton ...you got me there
i love this setup so so much! i didn’t use mini book covers last year in my journal… but i think i’ve been convinced to add them this year!
I like how in Goodreads you can print them all out, and they're already tiny. I'm going to do that for my physical TBR.
@@michellemp1626 WAIT WHAT!?
@@michellemp1626 ooh that’s convenient, i’ll have to check that out, thank you!
I love the look of them, they're so cute 🤧
I discovered you from Katie but hey, I am a new subscriber and fan. You have such a soothing voice. What a satisfying video to watch! 😍
Awe thank you sm!
Wow😍
😁😁💙
Im doing anticipated releases for the first time in 2024 too!! I'm calling it new releases for the year..I also did 'tbr for 2023' this year and I was able to fit 20 books a page (i did 2 pages..so 40 books)..definitely too much..although i did read 31 of them!! Im doing 12 books this year for my sanity tho😅
I love the dutch door idea..i already planned my journal for 2024 but i think I'm going to have to move things around to fit in the dutch doors!!
Honestly 31 out of 40 is quite impressive! I had 35 and only read maybe 13? 💀 To be fair, I had too many tomes on the list that were over 500 pages haha. The dutch door is seriously a game changer, I'm so excited about it!!
Cassandra, your journal is so pretty! I clicked on this because I saw your gorgeous map and would love to put a reading map at the beginning of my journal. Then fell in love with your lettering. Do you have a post showing your header font in more detail, and where you got the alphabet stamps? They work so well together! Cheers 💙
Thank you! I got the letter stamps years ago so I couldn't find them online, sorry!
My name is Cassandra Lynn too! Loved this
OMG hello!! 💕
This is my first time doing a reading journal and I borrowed so many of your amazing ideas, particularly the library spread, and putting sparkles around all my headings. Thanks so much!
PS. Why do you only do a 6 month flip through rather than a monthly spread video too?
Ah happy I could lend you some inspiration! I used to do monthly set ups but they got to be a LOT of work. I did one every month from 2019-2022! I instead incorporate my monthly set ups into my "monthly reset" videos now.
You're the Bob Ross of reading journal videos and I'm here for it.
OMG stop that's too kind 🫶
Oh my goodness this book map!! I need to have you draw a book map for my fantasy series! So cool. I'll get in touch!
Feel free to email me through my website! www.oakleafarrowstudios.com 💕
This was so beautiful. I too love using stickers and paper to make my journal super nice ☺️
I was wondering where is the letter stamps from? It looks really pretty 🤩
Thank you! I couldn't find the letter stamp online I'm sorry! I bought it at Michael's in the dollar ish section years ago
AH i saw foundryside and this is how you lose the time war on your 2024 tbr! they're two of my all-time favourites. may i recommend the locked tomb series to you, if it's okay? it's sci-fi fantasy horror. also one of my favourites. i adore your spreads- recently i just haven't been able to read things? like i religiously read fanfiction but the normal books seem so... bland, comparatively now 😭
Oh that makes me even more excited to pick them up! I haven't heard anyone on my channel talk about Foundryside before! I will say I'm a wuss when it comes to horror, so while I do appreciate your rec, it depends on how horror heavy it is 😅
These pages look absolutely stunning!! I totally agree, adding sparkles makes every page better. That was my personal journaling revolution in 2023 haha
I haven't set up my 2024 reading journal yet because I still have quite a few pages to catch up on in my 2023 journal (oops) and I want to do that first. This video gave me a spark of motivation to actually sit down and do that!
Being perpetually behind in journaling is all part of the ~experience~ 💀
this map looks splendid enough, though! I think you have absoooooolutely no idea, hoy many would like to draw maps like this one even! soooo, please, don't be too hard on yourself!!! Love love love for everyone! this years Moravian saying is "Let all that you do be done in love." (1. Cor 16,14).....I really people will take that to heart....especially in politics...but also in literature!
Oh thank you!
Thank you for posting your video, so much inspiration! I looked on your links and couldn't find the clear stickers that have the feather, books etc. Where did find them? Thank you!
Possibly from Stickii, I don't remember it exactly.
What Genre do u enjoy reading most? I read cozy mysteries mostly. Though I have found some cool Disney mystery books to read. I never knew about Reading journal this is very cool.
I love fantasy & romance!
@@cassandralynn7 Have you read Far Wilder Magic..its very good
Amazing journal set up, so beautifully done. Where did you get your letter stamps from? Thanks x
Thank you! I couldn't find them online, but I got them from the dollar section at Michael's ages ago!
I didn’t know you were friends with Katieisreading!! I was just watching her videos!
She's the best! We have a few videos we've filmed together too 😁
Love this, the spreads are all super cool! Just out of curiosity what did you include on your monthly stats page
Thank you! On my monthly stats page I have: books read, pages read, average star rating, # of 5 stars, new reads, re-reads, DNF's, & books bought
I love your journal! I’m not artistic at all, I feel like if I made one it would look like a child’s school project 😂
I bet it would be lovely. Why not give it a try? ☺️👍🏻
As long as you have fun setting it up, that's what matters! 💕
after watching 1 book binding the reason those pages stick together is because of the glue needed to attach the pages to the cover
Oh that makes sense!
yea! I would love to see notebook companies use something else in the place of the first page, so that you can use all pages efficiently@@cassandralynn7
Do you have a video on how you make the book cover stickers?
I don't, but it's super easy! I just put the book covers into a google doc, make them all the same size (mine are 2.2x3.4cm) and then print them out on label sticker paper!
@@cassandralynn7thank you!!!
Lovely Journal set up for the new year. Thanks for sharing. Miss your journal videos!! Beautiful map you drew.
🤎✨️🐝
Thanks so much Amanda! 💕
OMG Can you please tell me where you got that stamp set from?!!? I have been looking for a "Celtic" or the "Old English" font in a stamp set for weeks and I need it! Its my favorite style of lettering.
Also I love this! Im finally going to start my first reading journal in 2024 and im so excited! Thanks for the inspo your work is amazing! :))
I couldn't find the stamps that I used online. I bought them years ago at Michael's in their dollar-ish section. The brand is Studio G if that helps! They're not the best quality, but they get the job done! And thank you! 💕 I hope you have so much fun setting up your first journal!!
Where is your alpha stamp set from? Love your set up!

Hello! I love your reading journal set up! I checked your supply list, but didn’t see where your stamp set was purchased. Do you remember?
Hi Debbie! First off, thanks so much! Secondly, I couldn't find the stamps that I used online. I bought them years ago at Michael's in their dollar-ish section. The brand is Studio G if that helps! They're not the best quality, but they get the job done! 🫶
@@cassandralynn7 Thanks!
I loved the maps. what's the music name you used?
I get all my music from Epidemic Sound. Is there a specific song you're looking for?
Your voice over is really funny 😆🫶
aha thanks!
Your video makes me happy and comfortable. Your video helps me a lot. Thank you for sharing these good videos. Merry Christmas
Happy holidays! That's so sweet of you to say!! 🫶
Where did you get those letter stamps? I’m looking to refresh mine and I love those ones.

📙📘 Remarkable employment. I stand inclined towards, the reading goal. It peeks like a board game. I loathe anticipated releases because of unforeseen occurrences that might fiddle with receiving. 📘📙
#ReadingJournal 📘📙
Such a fun take on those pages haha!
Looks great 😊
I printed my trackers on sticker paper (a bookshelf from etsy and created reading logs on Canva). I Will just change the colours so they don't look the same. So much easier than drawing a million tables (reading log, library logs, series trackers) every Quarter. I will also use some stamps and stickers / washi to make it look nice.
And yes to not updating regularly. Sometimes I do it after every book I finished, sometimes at the end of the week / even month. I do the covers and ratings in my monthly wrap ups and also one reading log for the whole year as a list with title, month, and ratings
OMG I love the efficiency! 💕
Just out of curiosity on the library tracker page… would it be Cass’ library or the Cass’s library like you had it? I know it’s your name but I know sometimes with all the s the apostrophe changes location
As long as I've been alive, I have not a clue. I think either way works, but I did the extra S for the spacing lol
omg you drew the acotar map???
I drew my own version of it 😜
What do you use to make the book cover stickers?
I just print out book covers on sticker paper!
I currently own way to many books on my physical tbr so this coming year is the year I am going to buy 0 books! we'll see how that goes but im trying to read my physical tbr and save money also I have zero space on my shelves so! 2024 the year of buying no books!
Will you allow yourself to check out books from your local library?
Best of luck with that goal! I have no self control to make it through a whole year 💀
@@michellemp1626
I don't really go my library I have access to audiobooks and I own way to many books so it won't be a problem. if I need more reads my parents have like over 3,000 books so I can just read those...
@@cassandralynn7 if I need more reads my parents have like over 3,000 books so I can just read those...
is being a cartographer hard? and is it fun?
It can be challenging at times, especially during an art block when my creativity is shot, but so rewarding 😁🫶
How do you get the stickers of the book covers?
I printed them out on label paper!
I'm watching this more for the design cus I don't really read but HOW DO YOU READ 2 BOOKS A WEEK?! Are there even that many books?
I just read a lot because I like reading!
Where are your stickers from plz?
Everything is listed in the description!
I got 3 words for you. Kraft sticker paper.
Now THAT would be a game changer haha
@@cassandralynn7 it’s a thing. You can order it by the pack. It changed my life. Mainly cause I’m lazy. lol.
Loving the reading journal made here, but it's nothing like I would call "simple and easy"... 🤣
Other than the decoration, I feel like the trackers are nothing too complicated to recreate 😁
