I do the same thing with buying and then putting things off 😅 So I understand. I'd be interested to see what's up with that Einstein's Apprentice book. I just read a nonfiction that he was mentioned a few times in and he seems to have led an interesting life 🤔

I'd also like to prioritise in 2025 the books I've been gifted this year. Hope you've had a lovely Christmas day ❤📚

I also have to read Persepolis next year

The Matchmaker matches your nails! 🤣🤣

📚

Excited to try! Thanks!

📚

Immediately yes

🎄

This was so fun to see! I also have it on my TBR, but I didn't realise that it was like the Love, Actually movie. Which I have never seen😂 But this sounds so much better anyway, so I'll just read this🌟

YOU ARE AMAZING! Thank you so much

I’m definitely picking this up. Happy Holidays!

The fact that you read entire anthology’s is so impressive to me lol.

Oooh bonus

⭐

‘Tis the Season is on my list for this week 🎄

Bear versus man is awesome.

Yay I’ve been wanting your review of North is the Night.

Glad you're feeling better, I hope you get to enjoy some rest in between all the (also fun) christmas events! Sounds like you had a lot of fun reads (at the end of) this week. have the first book in a different series by Jordan L. Hawk on my Kobo, which I think takes place in the same world as Unhallowed, so I'm very excited to get to it with this review🤩🌟

Hi Stef! Your 2024 spreadsheet was a huge inspiration for my 2024 and 2025 spreadsheet. In 2025, I'm planning to do a showoff of my spreadsheet that's been inspired by you. I was wondering if I'm allowed to share it with a Google Docs copy link (similar to how you did here). I will also be crediting you as inspiration & link to your 2024 along with 2025 video. I'm happy to share with you a link beforehand so you can see the major differences. I will say our reading log looks mostly the same but I added multiple columns to track statistical data, daily reading data, and graphs that would accompany it. I'd understand either way if you say yes or no. Happy holidays 🥰

I have a few options but still deciding on my planners for 2025

As always it is a delight to see all your planners!

Great vlog, loved seeing the advents and the christmas books! Hope you can get some rest❤‍🩹🎄

I also have so many journals and notebooks with different functions that sometimes it’s overwhelming but this makes me feel seen 😂

This was fun. I enjoyed it.

Oooooh yes the mochibujo advent. 😍

ooohhh so many hobonichi's! I've seen them around but I can't tell if they'd be for me or not. Yours look so good!!

As always I love seeing the planner plans for a new year 🥰

🖋

You did a really good job on that spreadsheet!! You go girl!

Perfect, thank you!

Love a good journal line-up!💖 📔✒ For now, I'm just using a cheap agenda as a personal planner, because I have a lot of life things to figure out in 2025😂 And of course a book journal, which I still need to set up, but am very excited about😙

Yes my planner fairy godmother. 😂🥰🧚🏻‍♀️

The 52 Book Club seems interesting, going to have to look into that... hm. But the video! Fun! As long as you're enjoying your planners/journals then it's never enough~

These all sound like a lot of fun! Series vlogs would be amazing and also hearing about your favourites🧡

🪦🪦🪦

These all sound great! I think I have Unhallowed on my e-reader as well, very excited to get to it with that first line🌈

🪦

Thank you so very much for sharing!❤

There's a bind-up for Monk and Robot publishing in 2025 and after re-listening to the audios as well, I'm keen to purchase it next year and own them. So cosy and sweet!

Mates believing dumb lies kills me every time.

🪦🪦

I've been using your 2024 tracking and it's been a game changer! I'll go back and check out the older trackers as well. Thank you so much for sharing them with us! ❤🤗 Also for anyone reading this who's from the US or outside of Australia, if you go into file and then scroll down to settings you can change the location and date. Otherwise it will put the day first. I didn't notice at first until I tried to enter a book for 01/21/24 and it kept telling me the date was invalid. 🤣

📚 I just completed my bingo board for 2025 this week. I've listened to a heap of audiobooks this year as well. For the challenges I didn't complete in 2024's bingo I've made them harder for 2025. Like read 5 classics. I only read one classic this year and 4 are remaining so I made it 8 for next year. I'm still hoping to squeeze in Jane Eyre, Color Purple and North and South but we'll see. One of my squares for 2025 is to read 20 books that I got for free. I've probably collected at least 150 free digital books this year from stuff your kindle and other free events and read only 1 book. I have over 50 Bookfunnel books that I haven't read and waaaaaaaay more on kindle. Another square I have for 2025 is to listen to over 100 hours of podcasts and/or audio dramas. I was recently going through my saved podcasts on audible, amazon music and Spotify because of the yearly wrap-ups and I have over 50 podcasts saved but only listened to about 20 hours worth the entire year. So I'm gonna start off with baby steps and try to clear them. I plan on doing 52 Book Club 2025 reading challenge as well. I did 2024 as well. I only completed 33/50 so far. But I was concurrently doing back challenges as well as 3 other year long 2024 challenges. So I adjusted it so that if I completed 26 I would count it as complete. I was going to stop altogether in 2025 because they've become too niche and haven't been as enjoyable but I saw what they were doing for 2025 and decided that it would be a challenge but also fun. I've dropped Popsugar for next year. I'm still doing back challenges from 2015- 2024 for the next couple of years but I won't be participating in 2025. I also made my own year long personal challenge for 2025 with a combination of the challenges from past 52 book challenge, popsugar and various readathons. I'm still adding and removing stuff. I look forward to seeing your progress!

Looks like you found a few good ones to read next week for QLR <3

I’m still trying to figure out what series I want to read next year 💙

Themed vlogs sound like a ton of fun! Make the changes you need to so you are happier and dread the process less! Love all the plans.
