Turning your Masters Thesis into washi tape would have been such a power move!!! My reading goal this year and next year is also 40 books!!! I feel like a genre you might like would be fantasy romance or romantasy since you love fantasy books!!!
i loved the part you said you didnt read as much when you were at university bc sometimes it feels like i should be reading more and enjoying my readings when i dont even have the energy to hold a book in my hands 🥹🥹🥹 i feel heard and happy thinking that maybe someday ill find the energy to read for fun again 🙌 love your videos so so much 💗
I only just got into journaling recently but I didn't realise just how relieving and relaxing and just.. therapeutic it is. Everything from the designing of pages to the writing itself, it's so personal and private yet so creative and empowering! I definitely spent far too much money on this new hobby of mine but spending time every day or every other day just getting lost in pretty stationery and my thoughts down on paper honestly feels like filling a hole I had in my heart. Your videos are so beautiful and well made, and your spreads are stunning too! Definitely going to be drawing some inspiration from your pages!
This was so refreshing to watch. No *you have to have this* no pushing the purchase more narrative. I love that it's all about you enjoying your hobbies and sharing it with us. Definitely enjoyable to watch
You said you wanted to read a historical fiction book this year, and a book I recommend is All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr. Another historical fiction book I recommend ( it’s not exactly historical fiction but it’s about a recent issue) is the Beekeeper of Aleppo by Christie Leferty BTW I love your reading journal setup for 2024🌷💐
If you don't know them you should read some books from David Eddings or Guy Gavriel Kay ! they are my favorite authors and their books are awesome ! Especially "The redemption of Althalus" and "Tigane"
new Subscriber. Love your notebook setup. Many great ideas. I bought several girl stickers to use in journaling. Looking forward to watching more of your videos!! I left you a big Like 👍 🌷
I'm really, REALLY, looking forward to Deborah Harkness "The black bird Oracle" that should be released in july, I think. It's the 5th part of the All Souls series. I've been waiting for this continuation for at least 2-3 years and I'm so excited to finally be reading it this year ^^!
It's such a joy to see how you approach your reading journal and goals, cause it should really be for you and for enjoyment, but sometimes I find it's easy to forget that... Anyway, beautiful spreads as usual🌷
🌷This is my first video of your so I don’t know if you’ve already filled your thriller/horror challenge slots… but Head full of ghosts by Tremblay is AWESOME and fits either. ❤
I have the same orange fox journal with craft paper and have been using it for my reading journal in 2023, and will continue to use it for 2024 as it’s only half full. It’s been fantastic! The craft paper gives the whole thing an extra cozy vibe 😊
I also got a Takkti notebook from the midnight garden collection, I'm obsessed with the green cover and I got the one with the fern design! 🌷If you enjoyed The Song of Achilles I'd recommend trying another one of Madeline Miller's books Circe. I love SOA and I think Circe is just as good. Your journal spreads are beautiful as always 🥰
🌷🫶 I decided to get into reading more to pull myself away from my screens. I love consuming new booktube creators I’ve found (like you!) and I’ve watched many many reading journal set ups in the last week and I got a bit intimidated because my goal is only 30 books (as this is my first year really entering into reading as a hobby) so I didn’t just read to meet a goal, I read for pleasure. I appreciate how honest you are with your goals even as a booktube creator where I know there can be a lot of pressure to read a certain amount of a certain genre or what-have-you. I look forward to following your 2024 reading journal!
Lovely journal setup! I love the neutral scrapbookesque floral theme!! The parts about using your reading journal in the way you see fit, and the changes in your reading habits over time was incredibly healing for me. I am a former extremely avid reader but was in a major reading slump over the past few years because I didn't have much free time due to university/college. It definitely made me feel better and less alone about the change in my reading habits over the years. As much as I would love to consume an insane number of books a year like I did during my childhood, I know that that's not feasible for me at the moment given the limited time I have for anything other than school. It's brought me a lot of comfort and peace to realize and understand that it's okay to change the way that I interact with things that bring me joy. In the past year or two I've been coming out of my reading slump, and it's been nice to not fret over how many books I have or haven't read as the year progresses. Although I may not have the same reading habits as I did prior to starting university/college, I still do enjoy reading and appreciate the experience each book provides just as much. 🌷
You were my main inspo for my reading journal this year and I love it so much! But you’re right-it’s SO chunk! Lol. I’m SOOO excited for this one, watching now! 🥰🥰
Looking at the notebook candidates you had, I actually plan on getting that fox journal with kraft paper from Notebook Therapy for my next reading journal after my current one is completely full. Turns out I could fit two years into it so I'm not in a hurry to get another journal quite yet. The monthly review page turned out so gorgeous. That PET tape is beautiful and the colour fits so well into a reading journal. 🌷
I get so many ideas for my reading journal from your videos and now I have some I want to add to my 2024 journal! One of my favorite books from this year is The Wishing Game by Meg Shaffer. It’s a book about books and I loved it, and one of my anticipated reads for next year is of course House of Flame and Shadow! 🌷🌷
I've been following u for so long now I'm measuring the years in what kind of reading journal you use haha. Ngl i miss the notebook with the three different types of papers you used in 2022!
The way you organized the sections and added those personal touches is giving me major journaling goals. Excited to see how your reading journey unfolds throughout the year with this beautifully crafted journal as your companion.
🌷This video has inspired to try a reading journal for next year. I love reading, but I've been struggling to find books to read and that keeps me from reading as much I would like. I think with a journal and setting up a "Books to Read" page and even a goal of how many books to read throughout the year page, I might be more motivated to not only read, but journal more. Also, for anyone who might like a book recommendation, I absolutely loved the book "The Girl from the Well" and the sequel "The Suffering" by Rin Chupeco. They wrote an amazing ghost story and I highly recommend them. The hooks can be a bit scary to some, so please keep that in mind. 😊
Your reading journal setup is gorgeous! And these tapes with flowers, ooooh definitely my favourite. I love that you do a different theme on every spread, it makes it all look fresh and colourful. I still need to learn that :D I made my first reading journal in 2023 and I love it and have sooo many ideas for what to do for 2024 but the end of the year is so exhausting I have no idea when I'll get to it. But I'm excited to start working on it. 🌷
I recommend the Murderbot Diaries by Martha Wells. The first book is called All systems red. It is a quick read, the main character is funny, and sarcastic, and the plots are interesting and each book is connected. It’s a great option for your science fiction goal.
I have both of the Notebook therapy journals 😁. The one with the fox is my Reading Journal this year (but the B5 version with white pages… I have the one with craft paper, too). I love the orange and the fox. It also fits perfectly, because my character in the Magical Readathon by Book Roast has a fox/kitsune as a familiar (also my DnD character). For 2024 my journal will be the same orange, but with a crescent moon - which also fits, because my character is in the Order of the Crescent. The other Journal with the story book vibe will be my travel journal for my visit in Wien (Vienna) in 2024, because it has the perfect size for a city trip and I don’t know why - but it just fits the location.
I chose to go with a a5 black dot grid paper. I'm only using white gelly rolls and a white acrylic pen, all my color comes from washi tape. I also am using a black and white thermal printer for images and stuff. I'm really enjoying it. I reach for it everyday and log all my reading per day which is rare for me but it is keeping me on track which is nice. I've officially read everyday this new year. I was so hoping you would go with that beautiful black paper notebook but your set ups are always magical.
This was awesome. So relaxing 😍 I loved the long video❤ also a books series I LOVED in ‘23 it’s “the Marlowe murder club” in jan the 3rd is coming out. Fairly British stories but I enjoyed the protagonists and their stories and the murder mystery its nice as well😊 ps I choose books by their cover too 100% blind every time 😂 🌷
OMG, I've been watching your journals for the past couple of months, and they are super calming to watch. You've inspired me to start my own! So 2024, I will have my own journal where I can make cute collages and stuff. A couple of my favorite reads from this year, are Ignite by Melanie Harlow, Credence by Penelope Douglas, A Long Time Coming by Meghan Quinn. Shameless Plug, but I wrote a book, and IDK if it's something you'd read, but it's called Days of Revenge & it comes out Jan 29. Can't wait to see more videos from you! 🌷
My reading journal doesn't have a tbr, it has several, for multiple years, because I never know what phase I'll be in which month. I've got an ergotic literature section, a romantasy section, and even a Shakespeare section.
Absolutely gorgeous set up, can't wait to see it over the year :) I'm enjoying my reading journal and loving the creativity it brings to my reading. :)
You actually got me into keeping a reading journal along with some other creators! I'm definitely going to check out the small business! Although Im using the same one from 2023 to continue my journaling for next year.
I love what you did with the flower PET tapes around the pages 😍 and I thought it was really clever to start sticking the middle letter of the word so that the word is in the middle of the page. Might be something I apply in my own journal. Also, can I just say I find your voice soothing 💛🌷
I really enjoyed watching your reading journal set up, some really beautiful pages and great ideas for what to put in it. As I said in your 2024 bullet journal set up comments, I am very new to journaling so I don’t think I can handle 2 different journals but as an avid reader I think I will dedicate a couple of pages each month to books. As for my recommendations, I am not sure what you have already read but can endorse what one of your other commenters said about David Eddings. Also in that vein is The Dragonbone Chair by Tad Williams (first of a trilogy) or something a bit darker (and older) Robert Silverberg’s Majipoor Chronicles, the first one being Lord Valentine’s Castle. I recently discovered Mark Laurence’ Books of the Ancestor trilogy too, really good. This seems to be turning into a thesis too so I will stop but thank you, I am so glad I found your channel today!💖🌷
I loved your 2024 reading journal set up. Every single page turned out SO beautiful!! I have a lot of inspiration to get my reading journal ready for the upcoming year. If you need some book recommendations I just finished reading, “The Rose Code,” which is historical fiction. It kept me on the seat of my pants! Very good book! I also recently read two of Matt Haig’s books. They are called, “How to Stop Time,” and “ The Midnight Library.” Both of those books were very good but also quick, fun reads. I wish you a very happy holiday and a peaceful New Year. Thank you for all the work you do posting new videos. I really enjoy them!❤️😘🌷
I actually went with a larger notebook for 2024...and it's lined. I just couldn't turn down the cover, it was beautiful. My goals tend to be to read 100 books (I read a lot of novellas and manga). I also want to read more of different types of genres so I can learn what I like and what I don't like. In 2023, I read a lot of fantasy so I learned what types of fantasy I liked and what I didn't like. In 2024, I think it will be horror/thrillers. I do monthly review spreads, but I do one at the end of every month's section. I list the different genres I read, my ratings with the average rating for the month, my favorite book that month, pages/books/hours read, and I usually have some sort of prompts that I use to pick my books whether it's a readathon or a game I play that chooses prompts. I'll write the prompt and what book I chose for that prompt. Then, at the end of the year, I do a yearly stats spread (I am a stats person...I love math).
i highly reccomended "the darkness outside us" by elliot schreffer. it's my favourite book in the world and it's sci-fi, though fairly "light" and mostly easy to understand. it's also got an absolute beautiful love story and i still get all emotional everytime i think about them 🩷 i'm excited to watch your reading journal grow!🌷
Science Fiction Something from the Nightside Series by Simon R Green is really good. The books are on the shorter side and it does lean more into the horror side. If you want to try Urban Fantasy/paranormal the Anita Blake series gets very very graphic spicy as the series progressives. The Dresden Files is my favorite Urban Fantasy. The Mercy Thompson series and Alpha Omega are also in my top 3 urban fantasy/paranormal . The Sookie Stackhouse series is not a spicy graphic as HBO made True Blood it is also one of the series I revisit. Karin Slaughter and Lisa Jackson are Fantasic Thriller writers. They are both very intense and gritty. 🌷
🌷Loving this video so so so much! Got a ton of inspiration out of it for my own 2024 journal set up. A book I absolutely loved in 2023 was 'the collected regrets of Clover'. It made me cry big time and I would love to read it again for the first time if it was possible.
I'm very much a mood reader as well! I would recommend Goblin Emperor by Katherine Addison - such a lovely book, with cozy vibes. I usually watch your videos to the end, but usually don't go looking for the emojis... 🌷
I have tried the Kraft one for my reading journal and ended up turning it into a junk/quotes one. The quality is great and the pages are stunning but only Kraft pages wasn’t working for me.
I love the way you've set up your reading journal! For book suggestions that are not fantasy: 84 Charing Cross Road by Helene Hanff is an epistolary, The History of Rain by Niall Williams is a novel, and Authentically, Izzy by Pepper Basham a sweet epistolary rom-com. 🌷
I would recommend Axiom's End by Lindsay Ellis. It is the first book of a three part series but the final book is being released this coming summer, so it's not a terribly long wait. The second book in the series is called Truth of the Divine. I haven't read that yet but I did just get my hands on it. So I'm pretty excited.
Turning your Masters Thesis into washi tape would have been such a power move!!! My reading goal this year and next year is also 40 books!!! I feel like a genre you might like would be fantasy romance or romantasy since you love fantasy books!!!

I really love how you combine reading with creativity. I love tour contence. The book. In my tbr-list is the book of Doors from Gareth Brown.
I just found you yesterday and I can already tell you’ll be one of my favorite channels!💗
Aaah that’s so sweet!🥺❤️❤️
I'm really, REALLY, looking forward to Deborah Harkness "The black bird Oracle" that should be released in july, I think. It's the 5th part of the All Souls series. I've been waiting for this continuation for at least 2-3 years and I'm so excited to finally be reading it this year ^^!
Same recreating while in college. Took a few years to get back into the reading groove.
It's such a joy to see how you approach your reading journal and goals, cause it should really be for you and for enjoyment, but sometimes I find it's easy to forget that... Anyway, beautiful spreads as usual🌷

You could use your extra pages for concepts for the next year or like "a look ahead" kind of thing
I also got a Takkti notebook from the midnight garden collection, I'm obsessed with the green cover and I got the one with the fern design! 🌷If you enjoyed The Song of Achilles I'd recommend trying another one of Madeline Miller's books Circe. I love SOA and I think Circe is just as good. Your journal spreads are beautiful as always 🥰
I really loved the book "this vicious grace" by Emily thiede!

Book Recommendations: The outlander series by Diana Gabaldon and The Personal Librarian by Marie Benedict and Victoria Christopher Murray

So relaxing, so enjoyable, as usual my fave journal artist ever! Thank you Hedda for gifting us these delicate, heart warming videos 🌷
i dont know if its popular or if youve read it, but i recommend the secret series. its fun

I recognize Oslo from the first frame of that video!
So excited! ❤
You’re in Oslo, Norway? I worked there briefly many years ago. It was a very neat place (and cold/dark in winter!). Love your videos, thanks!
🌷❤Thank you for sharing your amazing talent and insight. I just stumbled onto your page, and I cannot wait to see more of your videos.
🌷Loved!!!! So excited to start something new! :)
Always love watching your videos 🌷
🌷💐great looking set up! Lots of work! I also use GoodReads and audible books!

I recommend the Murderbot Diaries by Martha Wells. The first book is called All systems red. It is a quick read, the main character is funny, and sarcastic, and the plots are interesting and each book is connected. It’s a great option for your science fiction goal.

Can't wait to see more videos from you!
🌷
My reading journal doesn't have a tbr, it has several, for multiple years, because I never know what phase I'll be in which month. I've got an ergotic literature section, a romantasy section, and even a Shakespeare section.
Im addicted to watching these kinds of videos. For some reason 🌷
Absolutely gorgeous set up, can't wait to see it over the year :) I'm enjoying my reading journal and loving the creativity it brings to my reading. :)
I was just going to buy an alteady made reading journal but yours looks so pretty u make me want to make my own
You actually got me into keeping a reading journal along with some other creators! I'm definitely going to check out the small business! Although Im using the same one from 2023 to continue my journaling for next year.

The most wonderful time of year is Hedda's book journal setup video.
Okay I'm 5 minutes in but I already need to comment; LOVE your nails🥰
Happy new year to you too! 🌲
Love your videos. 🌷
Thoroughly enjoyed the video and setup🌷

This seems to be turning into a thesis too so I will stop but thank you, I am so glad I found your channel today!💖🌷
Lovely set up. 🌷
🌷 My book rec is The Only One Left by Riley Sager, it’s a mystery/thrillerish. It was a page turner for me!
Wow, I love your set ups, do you have a video on how you made your washi tape would love to learn how to do that.
I loved your 2024 reading journal set up. Every single page turned out SO beautiful!! I have a lot of inspiration to get my reading journal ready for the upcoming year. If you need some book recommendations I just finished reading, “The Rose Code,” which is historical fiction. It kept me on the seat of my pants! Very good book! I also recently read two of Matt Haig’s books. They are called, “How to Stop Time,” and “ The Midnight Library.” Both of those books were very good but also quick, fun reads. I wish you a very happy holiday and a peaceful New Year. Thank you for all the work you do posting new videos. I really enjoy them!❤️😘🌷

The notebook from lucky bag is my favorite omg so pretty
🌷Tack Hedda för ännu en jättefin video ❤
BEAUTIFUL 🎉❤❤❤😊
🌷Loving this video so so so much! Got a ton of inspiration out of it for my own 2024 journal set up. A book I absolutely loved in 2023 was 'the collected regrets of Clover'. It made me cry big time and I would love to read it again for the first time if it was possible.
Loved it. So many beautiful spreads. 🌷
For science fiction I HIGHLY recommend Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir. Its a hefty read but he's easily my favorite sci-fi author of all time
Those are pretty notebooks.
🌷I absolutely love the way you decorated all of the spreads!!
I’m not really interested in reading journals, but yours are quite pretty, particularly this one is just adorable 🌷🌷
I wish I read more 😢😂❤ I tried making a reading journal but just never read enough to fill it 😂😂 🌷
I'm very much a mood reader as well! I would recommend Goblin Emperor by Katherine Addison - such a lovely book, with cozy vibes. I usually watch your videos to the end, but usually don't go looking for the emojis... 🌷
💐 The Lost Bookstore was excellent, I highly recommend it.
I have tried the Kraft one for my reading journal and ended up turning it into a junk/quotes one. The quality is great and the pages are stunning but only Kraft pages wasn’t working for me.
Great video and journal setup 😊🌷
🌷my first video from your channel, but I am excited to watch more! Thank you for the great ideas.
I love the way you've set up your reading journal! For book suggestions that are not fantasy: 84 Charing Cross Road by Helene Hanff is an epistolary, The History of Rain by Niall Williams is a novel, and Authentically, Izzy by Pepper Basham a sweet epistolary rom-com. 🌷
🌷your spreads are so beautiful and peaceful! I love watching them.
🌷🌷 Your layouts very beautiful, I hope I can read more books next year and have a reading journal 🌷🌷
I would recommend Axiom's End by Lindsay Ellis. It is the first book of a three part series but the final book is being released this coming summer, so it's not a terribly long wait. The second book in the series is called Truth of the Divine. I haven't read that yet but I did just get my hands on it. So I'm pretty excited.
I’m curious if NT would ever do lined options for their notebooks for those of us who can’t write with the dot grid.
