I LOVE this setup! You are so creative!

Beth with all you have had going on in your life you still managed to create a well thought out rating system! Not to mention all the other content you create for us to enjoy. I am so impressed! Thank you for sharing!!!

This is the most fun-looking reading journal I’ve ever seen! Love the theme & how that helps shape the content. I’m not usually one for super decorated pages, but it’s perfect in this context. Thanks for sharing it!

The Shakespeare Secret by JL Carrell a murder mystery about a Shakespeare folio.

Beth, I gotta say, you're my kind of nerd. <3 I see Record of a Spaceborn Few on there, and I just want to say, it's written differently from The Long Way and a Closed & Common Orbit, and feels slower to get through. It took me a while to finish it, but it's well worth the journey to get to the end. I also recommend her Monk & Robot novellas, which are cozy and thought-provoking. I'm going to "unreliably commit" to your SciFi short story read-along. :)

Definitely finish the Outlander Books - So worth it!

Love the reading journal is in a TN size! May the 4th be with you! Wonderful! And having a theme, whether, Harry Potter, Apothecary, Academia, this ide would work for any theme! Great idea also to have the did I read this day? Y/N great idea also

Such a fun set up Beth. I can’t wait to start the read alongside, I may just do both as decision making isn’t my strong point right now. Of course the red shirt page has to be a favorite.

Love this! I am starting a reading journal for the first time, and I am looking for inspiration. Your video is definitely in my top 3 so far! 😊

Awesome setup! Love the headers a lot too! I’d be excited too to use that journal so I hope you’ll have fun with it 🤗💕

Love it! Love the references in the titles! It’s going to be such fun watching your setups in 2025!

So fun! Love the theme and colors.

What a fun setup!! Happy reading! 💜

Great job, very adorable as a fellow Trekkie I love the references. You gave me a few ideas.

Oh noooo - now you've got me really conflicted: SciFi or Shakespeare 🤔 I know I won't be able to keep up with both... Probably I'll join the Shakespeare and just do one of the SciFi stories when there's time at hand... But really looking forward to the next year of reading and your journal setups😊

I have been preparing for this I decided to start keeping a reading journal and I am all set for the read alongs both Shakespeare and sci fi

Your headers made me laugh 😂love the Star Trek references ❤❤

This was so awesome to watch, I've made notes for my reading journal!

Hey, love this set up... wondering where and how to read captive girl by Jennifer pelland... sorry if it's obvious I'm not good at knowing where to search on web for books

I saw "A Discovery of Witches" on your backlist. That's the first in a trilogy and, without spoilers, I want you to know that one of the three books is William Shakespeare adjacent. Just sayin'.

I’m a life-long reader. I’ve never journaled about my reads and never really thought that hard about them either. I came upon reading journals somehow or somewhere and started a simple one in beginning of year. I was rating them but eventually just made a list of books I read. I’m still not really sure if I want to rate each book I read but this system is truly brilliant! I will definitely be making notes from this video or from the pdf. Thank you!

I usually use the Cawpile system but I never felt it hit just the right spot. I'm going to give this system a try and see if it better fits my needs. Good job and thank you for sharing.

Interesting but as someone who reads as much non-fiction (history mostly) as fiction I can't see this being useful

Your "simple" way is 50x more complex than my simple "would I reread this" scale 🤣 still fascinating though! That's the difference between a degree in English Lit vs English Language :P

I think this is precisely what I’ve been attempting on my own without as much direction. I cannot wait to try it out!! Thank you so much!

I am sooooo excited about READS! I can’t wait to check it out. Thank you for sharing.

This is inspired! I normally wouldn’t want to rate books based on anything other than enjoyment, but this balances everything rather well. Also yay for simple math! Definitely will grab the printable

Love this! I tend to rate my books based on mostly gut feeling but keeping those areas in mind, so I might try this out to see if my ratings would match!

What a great rating system! If I rated my books this would be the system I used.

This is such a good system, can’t wait to try it! Thank you for sharing!

Oh I like this system. I think I'll implement it for the coming year. Thanks!

If you are using the Canva for the week text. Use a separate text box to line up the number before printing. This will make it easier in the future. Hope that helps.

Thank you for sharing this, and for the explanation. Your R.E.A.D.S. system seems very straightforward and easy to use. I can’t wait to try it out!

Thank you! I have been looking for a better way to rate the books I read, especially books in a series. I think this rating system will be helpful.

Great ideas!

Love that song!!! The half point dots are such a time-saver! I like your breakdown - I also struggle with the word goal - as I use it so frequently at work. Love word of the day, of the year

As a fellow 29-year-old digital journal hater, I'M SO GLAD YOUR SON HAS EMBRACED PAPER AND ALL THE BEAUTY ASSOCIATED WITH IT

I’m so looking forward to watching these setups this year! Love this theme ❤ also, love the kitty cat nails 😍

Love it! And yes, of course we go extra for the ones we love ❤️

This was AMAZING. I love Treasure Planet snd that you added Turtles and Space Whales and made it all work together is awesome. 😊 Looking forward to the rest of the 2025 spreads of this journal.

Great theme! Was wondering how you were going to follow the Magnus Archives theme and I should have known you’d come up with the perfect idea! W a labour of love! Such attention to detail! Lucky Kenny! And lucky for us that Kenny likes using a bullet journal. Much prefer this type of plan with me to the pre made planner set ups, so am thrilled I can look forward to seeing the rest of the themes. Speaking of Kenny, thank the powers that be that he wasn’t hurt in the accident. Wishing you both and the rest of your loved ones a wonderful Christmas and a happy 2025 ❤️

I absolutely love this design.

Ooooooo…LOVE this theme!❤ I’m looking forward to this years setups in this journal 😊

You’re an awesome mom! ❤️

I would love a tutorial on how to make those mini calendars in Canva

This is beautiful! I love the gold additions and how flexible you are able to be with his journal. This is one of the reasons I haven't been able to go to a pre-printed because I'm still finding my way.

I’m seeing TSO tonight!❤

✨🌝✨🌝✨

I just might be sold after 12 months. Problem I foresee is not hearing it in your voice, Beth. Thanks to you and Kenny for sharing it with us, can’t wait to see what he has in store for next year.

I've enjoyed this bujo theme over this year! I'm a bit of a scaredy cat so I don't really interact with horror, but it's nice to know what the big deal is about this podcast that I've heard of but will Not listen to
