Full reading journal flip-through | My 2023 reading year update!

[@balletbookworm]

So fun to see the flip through and let us get all 😍over how you use your stationery in collages - I'm about three spreads into my new creative reading journal (first one!) and I'm soaking up all this inspiration bc I've read three books already this week due to snow storms hahaha and I don't want to get too far behind in my journal. LOL (That Iron Flame spread - the color-matching of the stationery is perfection)💚 legitimately couldn't pick a single favorite for 2023, I read too much but top reads for the year (that weren't comfort re-reads) were Love, Theoretically by Ali Hazelwood, The Berry Pickers by Amanda Peters, I am Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter by Erika L Sanchez, Built to Last by Erin Hahn, 10 Things That Never Happened by Alexis Hall, Her Good Side by Rebekah Weatherspoon, Blackouts by Justin Torres...and probably some more LOL

I love the spreads in your 2023 reading journal! 💚 Last year I have started The Wheel of Time and finished the first 2 books, it is very interesting if you like fantasy novels.

[@brigcs]

Beautiful journal Hedda, I love all your spreads. The best book I read last year is definitely The ​Adventures of Amina Al-Sirafi by Shannon Chakraborty 💚

[@alisongeddes7512]

Love this Journal! I’ve just started my first and really loving it! ❤️

[@flis625]

Really enjoyed looking at all your spreads for 2023.😊 Thank you for sharing. I read the psalm for the wild built too and really enjoyed it - must add the sequel to my TBR list, so thanks for reminding me. My favourite book in 2023 was actually The Book of the Ancestor trilogy by Mark Laurence. It has strong female characters and I found their actions and development through the 3 books quite believable and true to life. The non-linear bits of the story were confusing at first but make sense fairly quickly (don’t want to say more because…spoilers).✅ Thanks again, I am really enjoying your aesthetic in both your reading journal and planner.

[@trperrymakes]

such beautiful spreads, always enjoy your work! 💚

[@leylartstories5197]

Definitely the best bookjournaller out there😍

[@rue.h05]

5:41 I'm so glad that was one of your monthly favourites. I just finished the book and I found to be so good!! I love everything about it and went straight to the sequel as soon as I finished it! YOUR SPREADS ARE SO BEUATIFUL (as always) 💚💚💚

[@roseiorillo2832]

I love looking back at these spreads! You inspired me to start a reading journal (again) in 2024 - really hoping to stick with it this time 📗

[@Burjanova]

Absolutely amazing! 💚🐦🦕🐢🍀

[@domenicapuglisi]

Complimenti, seguo sempre i video del reading journal, adoro ogni pagina!💚

[@elaineb1336]

Beautiful journal!💚🌿

[@cherbowman]

Very beautiful spreads!💚💚💚

[@MadMusic26]

I love seeing your flip throughs. You have a lovely style! I think my favorite book was 2023 was, and yes you are free to laugh, Ice Planet Barbarians. 2023 was a hard year for me and I picked this book up because the description sounded ridiculous. It ended up being exactly what I needed to get me though that time, something so strange I could lose myself, laugh, and just ignore the real world for a little while 💙

[@EvanLuke3]

Such a beautiful reading journal! So much love was put into every spread! 💚

[@christachrista7203]

💚🦚 I listened to Guy Gavriel Kay's Sarantine Mosaic. I read those books quite a few years ago for the first time and very much enjoyed listening to them this year. I'm not a huge fan of audio books because I always feel that the act of reading and the choices the reader makes edit a book and take away from my own interactions with it. But I do enjoy listening once I've read it. I highly recommend this series, btw. Also your spreads are beautiful, Hedda! Thank you for sharing!

[@sem.readss]

Omg this is art ✨🧚🏻

[@nunyabiz1266]

🍃 This is so beautifully done

[@eriecel-c5674]

You have very nice layouts for your spreads. Thanks for sharing your flip through! 🌿

[@libertyslibrary]

So many wonderful spreads and layouts! A beautiful journal! Thanks for sharing 😊

[@robertapappagallo4267]

Thank you Edda. Your videos are always so enjoyable. I selfishly wish you a wonderful reading year, so I can watch more videos 😂.🍀🍀🍀🍀

[@starlasell5698]

I love how you set up and your beautiful collage. ❤📚❤️🌿

[@soph_penpals]

My fav book in 2023 has to be the library of the dead series (n1 and 2) , Agatha Christie’s poirot’s xmas, and the Marlos murder club series … they are def the top of my year! Will see what 2024 has to offer.🥰🐉🌲

[@alanatuttle]

I loved all your spreads 👒 I wish I had a reading journal but I need to go buy some journals if I’m gonna do that

[@TritopusJournal]

Favourite kind of video of mine!! Love all the spreads and thank you very much for sharing! ❤

[@letters.from.chrissie]

My favourite book I read in 2023 is The Perks of Being and Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky. I loved it so much. It's so different from the movie but still very much the same. Great read for those awkward peeps out there (like me)

[@ambargonzalez8862]

Beautiful spreads ❤ and the chill vibes were all that I needed tonight ❤🌱🪴

[@lisabatten6068]

My favorite book of 2023 was The Midnight Library by Matt Haig. I read 52 so it is very hard to pick but that one seemed to stick with me the longest after I read it.

[@jud2171]

I love the journal.

[@jenniferevelynhayes]

So beautiful and inspiring! I love your style, Hedda. 💚💚💚

[@jeannewilliams4285]

Lovely! My favorite book last year was Lessons in Chemistry!🐉💚

[@emmasdeaf]

yayyy i looked out for this one :))

[@elisacurbelo5594]

💚🟢💚🟢I enjoyed the flip through of 2023. My favorite read of 2023 would be impossible to pick, but I really enjoyed both of the Becky Chambers books you mentioned, I found a little underhyped series Crowns of Nyxia, that I absolutely loved, Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller was an early favorite in 2023. My favorite characters were Romily and Fox from the series "Murder Sprees and Mute Decrees." I loved them so much I ended up reading the series twice last year.

[@Myscottiestudio]

I’m inspired.

[@Forgetmenotjournals]

📗📗My favourite book of 2023 was Still Life by Sarah Winman💚

[@planningwithcaroline]

Jag tycker det är svårt att välja en favorit från förra året. Jag lyssnade och läste så många bra 💚 jag lyssnade om alla Harry Potter på Engelska samt Glastronen serien efter att ha sett dina videos om re-reads. Men favoriterna är nog böckerna i Marstandsserien av Ann Rosman om jag måste välja🪀

My favorite of 2023 was The Starless Sea, it gripped me from the beginning. In Dec of 2022 I read Nettle and Bone and that topped Starless for me. I guess I’ve always been a fan of fairytales. 📗
