Doing a spread for Spotify wrapped just blew my mind. I’m definitely stealing that idea lol

[@cassandralynnreads]

It's honestly one of my favorite pages! Shoutout to 2020 me who came up with the idea 💀

[@Bitsoflifee]

A reading journal video from both katie and cass on the same day?! This seems planned. I love it❤

[@cassandralynnreads]

A perfect coincidence 💕😌

[@aprilo492]

I actually like your book shelf page. It matches the aesthetic of old world vibes.

[@cassandralynnreads]

Oh thank you 🤧

[@brooke.michele]

Omg, a skzoo themed month is the best idea.

[@cassandralynnreads]

It's one of my favorites for sure! It was so fun to set up!! 💕

[@hannahcastillo1585]

That Elfhame map is incredible! I love your art style. The amount of insight you have into your reading over the year is stellar!

[@cassandralynnreads]

Thank you sm! I appreciate it 🥺💕

[@Barbara_Ardenghi]

This is amazing! And i love Oneus too! Sending love from Italy ❤

[@cassandralynnreads]

Thank you! Love a fellow ToMoon & all the way from Italy omg 🫶🫶

[@Kittyzero13426]

Enjoy a good reading journal flip through. So far my favorite pages I like using is a book tracker page and next year I made a 24 books to read in 2024 page. Been trying to think of a page or an idea to help read my physical tbr so that is still in the works.

[@cassandralynnreads]

Sounds great! 💕 You just have to make it work for you!

[@ReadingNymph]

Loved your themes! I have the Matcha journal for my reading journal this year! Its so cute 😍 I like how you combine your reading journal with your personal journal

[@cassandralynnreads]

That's so funny it's almost like we swapped because you had the bee journal last year & now I do haha

[@ReadingNymph]

[@MariasNook]

Your journal spreads look so pretty! I love how you chose colours palettes for every month, that does make it look very aesthetic and pleasing for the eye 🤓🧡

[@cassandralynnreads]

Thanks Maria! Plus I know if everything is the same color I can't much up a color combo 🤣

[@JanAgaton]

obsessed with every single page 😍

[@cassandralynnreads]

thanks Jan 😭😭💕

[@샄사]

Sending love from korea ❤❤❤❤❤ It’s always a pleasure watching u reading!!!

[@cassandralynnreads]

oh wow! I love when people say where they're from, it's always so cool to see!! 🫶

[@er-ha]

For ready tracking I would say just keep a sticky note so you can write the date down that you read without having to go in your journal; then you can fill it out at your own leisure~

[@cassandralynnreads]

True! I used to use bookmarks that I made, but I always forgot to fill them out haha

[@planyrnlit5279]

Ohh I love set it off! Nice to see you're a fan too. Also loved your setups, excited to see how 2024 ends up

[@cassandralynnreads]

They're my favorite! Always love to see other people that love them too! 🫶

[@cassandralynnreads]

Thank you!

[@Karen_Tries]

This year was my first SKZ concert and I loved it too much! Next time I HAVE to get barricade for sure! ❤❤❤

[@cassandralynnreads]

They sure do know how to put on an excellent concert! Wishing you all the luck for barricade!! I truly don't know how I managed to get my hands on barricade tickets & not get scammed lol

Me coming here for reading journal inpso, and found another Oneus and Onewe stan?? 😍😍

[@cassandralynnreads]

Oneus & Stray Kids are two of my favorite groups! I listen to Onewe occasionally 😁🫶

[@AliCatWrites]

So cute! I’ve been going to Scarborough since I was a little kid 🥰

[@cassandralynnreads]

I went when I was younger once, but it got harder to find time for them to drag all four of us as we grew up. I'm glad I "re-found" Ren Faires!

[@AliCatWrites]

@@cassandralynnreads I’m lucky that my husband loves it as much as I do so we go every year. We’ve also got friends who have a booth out there and a bunch of my friends are rennies so it’s always a fun time!

[@cassandralynnreads]

@AliCatWrites My goal one day is to be able to vend at a Ren Faire myself! I do cartography & hopefully one of these days I have time & money to invest into giving it a go!

@@cassandralynnreads I’ll have to check out your work! I want to start collecting maps from my favorite fantasy stories. I’ve got Thorin’s map from The Hobbit that I actually got out at Scarbie. It would be awesome to see you out there someday selling your art 🩵

[@AlongfortheThrill]

I have terrible, terrible luck with kpop tickets. Its so frustrating to be constantly in the middle to back!! Any recommendations you can give on how to get better seats would be appreciated 😆

[@cassandralynnreads]

The only way I've managed to get decent seats is typically through resale. The front row tickets were resale & I somehow managed to not get scammed when I bought them off someone on Twitter. Trust me, I feel your pain 😅

[@AlongfortheThrill]

@@cassandralynnreads that's amazing!! I'm so happy you got to experience that though, what a core memory!!

[@katieisreading]

rip to your babel map, she will be missed😭😮🤕

[@cassandralynnreads]

but ~hello~ to Cass's still (but barely intact) ~sAniTy~

[@AlexA-xi3sk]

Idk if you’ll see this but when you do journaling pages with just your thoughts (the ones you skipped) do you decorate the page. I’ve been journaling for a while now but I always find it so intimidating to just open my journal and write my thoughts😩 it sounds silly but I feel like my ugly hand writing will ruin it Ps. I too will be stealing your Spotify wrapped lol 🤭

[@cassandralynnreads]

Something that helped me get in the habit of journaling is dividing my page into 4. So instead of trying to write an entire page of journaling, I only make it a goal to write a quarter of a page. Also the handwriting thing, so days I write so pretty, but most days I'm just quicily jotting my thoughts. For me, I'd rather had the memories in ugly writing than none at all! Hope that helps! 🫶

[@Allena_inwonderland]

OMG Cassandra!!! You're coming to my airline 😍😍😍 I hope we can meet 🖤🖤 congrats and good luck in initial training 🥰

[@cassandralynnreads]

OMG wait that's so cool! I hope we get to see each other in the sky!! 💕

Hey I went to the Oneus concert too! The one in Atlanta. Small world

[@cassandralynnreads]

I hope you had so much fun!! I accidentally saw them in 2022 (I was new into kpop & bought the wrong tickets for my friend and I 💀) but since then they've become some of my favs!
