Reading Journal

[olivermoss]

My 'books read in 2024' spread is maybe finished?



I'd planned to color it in, but right now not sure whether to do that or try to figure out a few more details to add. I wish I'd varied the book sizes more, but I was trying to not turn that into too much of a project.

The journal cover:



I'll post more spreads once I have more done. Right now I am working on a book bingo for 2025. It's something I've seen people do in other reading journals and I like the idea. But, I'd need 25 ideas for it and I've got about half. My current squares are: Poly, Public Domain, New Series, Banned Book, Current Bestseller, Book I've had for 2+ years, Local Author, Locations I am visiting in 2025, Indigenous Author, Werewolves, Haunted House, Holiday Theme and Set on a Train.

I have an Agatha Christie tracker in the back because I plan to read everything by her, but I'll probably use up the journal before I complete that list.

I love the journal, just wish I'd bought it in a larger size. I also need to be so careful because I am worried about messing up the cover. I am used to just pushing them around as I need to for making layouts.

Thanks!

I added in my current audiobook and ebook because it filled out the drawing better. I will probably be mostly done before midnight.

Oof, I can understand the cover worry! In addition to the bigger books I keep my habit tracking in, I try to keep small ones that fit in a tote bag so I always have it with me at work or when I go out somewhere. But they really do get beat to hell. (Plus just yeah, manhandling them when you're working on a spread.)
