I've seen so many reading journals already but yours is one of the best ones. SOOOO beautiful, organized (the idea with the contents page is brilliant) and it just ticks all the boxes. Love it!

[@PsychonautJournaling]

Thank you so much!!

[@bj6656]

I love your reading journal! It's so cool!

[@katencecreates]

It's such a visual delight, all the spreads are so pretty and functional! ❤

[@PsychonautJournaling]

Thank you so much!!

[@Cookingevie]

I love your jornal layouts and you theme each one to match the book. Would you share a video talking about where you get all of your different supplies possibly?

[@PsychonautJournaling]

Aww thank you so much!! I can definitely look into making a video like that. In the meantime if you want details into any of the spreads let me know and I can try to find links for you :)

[@BooknBroom]

Wow!!

[@my0.25lifecrisis]

oh my god, I'm in awe of these spreads! And the cut out on the page with the mushroom was so cute! I'm so jealous of these spreads, but I will just live vicariously through you!

[@PsychonautJournaling]

Thank you so much!! I have a video on how I made it if you want a tutorial instagram.com/reel/ChuqbprDTRj/?igshid=Y2I2MzMwZWM3ZA==

[@thelivichronicles]

love this so much!!!

[@PsychonautJournaling]

Thank you!!

[@isirlasplace91]

Your journal is incredibly beautiful!! Thanks so much for the inspo!! I keep dreading going in my own reading journal because it's not very inspiring and kinda dull but yours gave me tons of ideas!!!🤗💖

[@PsychonautJournaling]

Thank you so much! I have another reading journal which is much simpler too so just do whatever makes the most sense for you!

[@princelanguages8924]

Just a little suggestion for 2024. The list of items at the very beginning of a journal / book, with page numbers in numerical order is actually the contents page. The index goes at the back and is not in page number order but alphabetical order of topics / themes with relevant page numbers. I think the original bujo guy got them mixed up and unfortunately it seems everyone has followed him. I really hope one influencer will realise and let everyone know. 😊

[@PsychonautJournaling]

Thank you for your recommendation! I personally prefer seeing the books I read for each month grouped together and that’s why I do it as I ago. I’m not trying to influence anyone a certain way. I’m doing what works best for me. Everyone is welcomed to use whatever works best for them :)

[@princelanguages8924]

@@PsychonautJournaling Hi, I think you've misunderstood. Of course everyone can use whatever layout they like for their own journal. Obviously and without question. However, it is just a simple fact that an Index goes at the back in aplhabetical order. At the front, it's contents. What I'm trying to say is that everyone has mis-labelled their contents page adn called it index, which is not correct. It's a bit like saying the person who writes a book is the illustrator and the person who draws the pictures is the author. It's the wrong way round, not a matter of opinion.

[@shivexyz]

Gorgeous as always 😍👏🏻 I love how u use several different themes in each month 💖

[@PsychonautJournaling]

Thank you! 😊

[@CatInMac]

LOVE LOVE LOVE your journal! This is my first time starting a reading journal and I didn't include an index which I'm just now realizing I think I need since my pages are so random 😅 OMG your A-Z Challenge for author name too is a great idea! The Poppy War has been on my list, but listening to you talk about it makes me want to move it up lol Great flip through!! 🤩

[@PsychonautJournaling]

Thank you so much!! Definitely read The Poppy War soon 😍😍

[@emhaggsart]

Your spreads are so beautiful and well thought out!!! ❤

[@PsychonautJournaling]

Thank you so much!!

[@ks24601]

WOW!!! I watch a lot of reading journal videos but this has to THE BEST I've ever seen!! Its so beautiful!!! At the moment I just use stencils and pens/pencils and everythings done by hand but I'm definitely going to try using scrapbook stuff and stickers, etc, next year. Are there any shops that you recommend?

[@PsychonautJournaling]

Aww thank you so much!! For stickers I usually shop at Stickiiclub, pineberrypaper or AliExpress. For the scrapbooking papers I buy mine from either Michael’s or Joanne’s. I love the stamperia paper packs mostly cause they give me that vintage look I like.

[@ks24601]

@@PsychonautJournaling thank you!!! I'll definitely have a look at these
