Love your journal! I'm glad to see someone else using the Michael's journal. I find whenever I use anything else I wind up missing my Recollections journal anyway.

[@inemmaslibrary]

I LOVE it. I always use a reading journal. It helps me out a lot and sometimes I forget to use it. I also need to get better at finishing the series. I start so many but never finish them. Would love to see your reading journal set up every month!!!!!

[@withlovelisa_]

thank you so much!!!💗 YES having a reading journal is so helpful but i also forget to use it sometimes, i think it's just normal to go through phases!

[@libbysreadingcorner9564]

@@withlovelisa_ , I think it is as well

Your spreads looked great - harmonious and bookishly cozy in a classy way. (Your title quote needs an apostrophe in "don't".) Re the TBR: I find unhauling to be satisfying in itself because of how hard it is for me. So I wouldn't mind crossing through a book title in a list as a little back pat.

[@withlovelisa_]

thank you so much!! and i did add that apostrophe after lol i missed it in the moment tho!! ok that's also a good point! i might have to add the ones im contemplating unhauling just so i can cross them off if i end up getting rid of them lol

[@withlovelisa_]

[@tonisha9385]

I love your set up, I did a reading journal this year for the first time, and I am excited, I would normally just log it with the app I am reading, I guess I never thought to just make a cute spread about what I was reading.

[@withlovelisa_]

thank you!!💗 AHH how fun, i hope you love having a reading journal this year! i used to do the same thing, but it's so fun to be a bit more creative with tracking ur reading :')

[@bujobyfilo]

Hi I loved this video! do you get the paper you used here 17:26, (and the blue paper you used for the January spread)from a specific place?

[@withlovelisa_]

hi!! yes, it's a pack of paper from michael's!! i've just added a link to the exact one i have in the description 🥰

[@atlanticr3c]

@@withlovelisa_ thank you so much !!

[@MsPixieD]

Hi Lisa, beautiful journal? Can you tell us what is the transparent paper you wrote your quote on, on the first page? And what were you using to smooth out the papers, is that a squeegee? Cheers!

[@withlovelisa_]

thank you so much! the transparent paper that i used is just tracing paper from the kelly creates brand, i've now linked it in the description of this video :) and hahaha not a squeegee, just a ruler!!

[@daryanreads]

this is gonna sound so stupid but your hands always speed up as soon as you start talking and i always picture you sitting there calmly setting everything up then all of a sudden moving your hands really fast

[@daryanreads]

also this is beautiful

[@withlovelisa_]

LMAO honestly that's kinda how my brain functions . but also i WISH my hands could move that fast the 3 and a half hours of unedited footage for this video says otherwise thank you bestie🥺🫶
