January 2025 Reading Journal Setup 💜

[@Monica.Bibliophilebynight]

I always appreciate the shout out on your channel! The map?! STUNNING! I've loved watching your reading journal journey and figuring out what works for yooooou 🥰🥰

[@JashiiCorrin]

Thank-you for being a constant source of reading journal inspiration for all of us, Monica 👏 You're a gem 😊💜

[@strixsacra]

I think a flip out for the TBRathon reads with just the prompt number next to the written titles of the books would work

[@JashiiCorrin]

Ooo that's a good idea 🤔 Means I don't necessarily have to have them in order too

[@lexie_winner]

the way you put the headers on is so satisfying :D

[@JashiiCorrin]

Thanks! Wanted to get them lined up nicely 😈

[@selbarton]

When I did reading challenges or goals in my bujo to get me reading, I created a reading calendar in Google calendar. I had different colors for each title so it was easy to see where titles changed and if a book was dragging on. I could use the description section to track pages read per date, notes, etc. It included releases from authors I really enjoyed as well.

[@Mamadriggs]

That's a fabulous idea!!!

[@kotokoo]

I'm waiting for Monica's reading journal flip thought, the previous gave me a lot of ideas. I love your map in the inside cover, it's gorgeous. For the missing information about the Books of paradise challenge, you can add a tip in in line with the prompts.

[@JashiiCorrin]

I was thinking that’d work well, yeah 🤔

[@debyik]

A tip-in with the prompt letter and book cover would work to track your TBRathon reads.

[@SarahTM2TS]

Monica's journals are like perfection. I'm so ready to start my reading journal this coming year! ❤❤❤❤

[@RyeMiArt]

The PET version of the blue flowers looks stunning! The map is gorgeous! For the TBRathon I'd maybe do a flip-out? Next to the prompts. There seems to be just enough space. And depending on the amount of books you read it could be either list of books or maybe you could have book covers there. The January setup looks great. Hope you'll have lots of fun with it :D

[@bazingo99]

Stray is amazing! One of my favorites 😊

[@bazingo99]

Oooh and Odyssey too!

[@nicoleandrews7205]

You should make a video just on how to draw maps!

[@leandrathetbrzero]

I AM IN AWE OF YOU!! Thank you so much for joining in on TBRathon, Jess!! 🥰

[@JashiiCorrin]

Thanks Leandra! 💜 I think it’s going to be a lot of fun 😄

[@VanessaBH7]

Jess: Pile of Possibility Me: *eyes my media journal* Also, yes! Love seeing Monica's reading journal on your channel. Can't wait for the 2024 one!

[@JashiiCorrin]

Looking forward to sharing it! 😄💜

[@KatieReadsKoziesAndMore]

I love your work. The flowers behind the books is stunning. Thanks to you I started using Washi labels in my journal. So much fun. And, so much more appealing than my own handwriting. I need to practice drawing maps. You make it look so easy. Thank you.

[@JashiiCorrin]

Thanks! 💜 the washi labels are a great trick for headers that are nice to look at and easy to do 😝

[@suzannebrownbill9232]

Something I did for Leandra's October challenge was to include a graphical element in the individual books to show what prompt they were read for. So in this case, if you read a book that lined up with the prompt for the moon, when you record whatever you are writing for the the book you could doodle a moon as part of that writeup.

[@JashiiCorrin]

Oh that's a cool idea for recording it! 😄

[@enoooooooola]

😍So beautiful and inspiring!

[@JashiiCorrin]

Thanks! 😄 Glad you enjoyed it! 💜

[@spookyplanner]

I love your spreads! I get so much inspiration from you. 🖤

[@JashiiCorrin]

Aww yay! I’m glad you find them helpful 😄💜

[@zarifahsvlogmalaysia7854]

OMG STRAY MY FAVOURITE GAME

[@JashiiCorrin]

Glad you vouch for it 💪💜

[@sabrinasspellbookspens5136]

I've already bought my voucher for Onyx Storm. I cant wait to read it. 🥰

[@JashiiCorrin]

Aww yiss 🥳 so excited for it!

[@sharonrussell8230]

Hi Jess, which app/program do you use to type up your headers please?

[@JashiiCorrin]

I use Microsoft Word 😊💜

[@sharonrussell8230]

Thanks!

[@vlogerman5871]

This is so beautiful you are my inspiration thank you for this planner.... can you make a monthly planner and please add new types of new tracker in it and habit tracker.... that's will be good

[@My_dreamy_world_2024]

I like your setup 😍♥️ specially the book section

[@JashiiCorrin]

Thanks! Glad you liked it! 💜

[@iddHiN]

Hi, can you tell me the code for tombow that you use for this ? Thank you.

[@JashiiCorrin]

That's 491 😄

[@Mamadriggs]

okay the map just tingled my spidey senses! Love this!!!

[@JashiiCorrin]

Haha glad you liked it! 💜

[@evebananas]

For recording your books for the tbrathon, I would do a tip in with a list or a symbol on your books read list that indicates you read them for the prompt. For ex: Onyx Storm (A). If you want to do a full spread with covers, that would be pretty too!

[@julia_l-c]

Ooooh Stray is a fun game!! I admit I make little kitty meow a lot cause it's toooo cute! Life is Strange was interesting too, I didn't "collect" all the things, since I think you have to play through multiple times to get everything. And I finally watched Crazy Rich Asians this year, I enjoyed watching it! I'm hoping we read Nettle and Bone in BBBC, it's been on my TBR for a while. Also Yay for another Monica reading journal flip through!!!

[@JashiiCorrin]

I'm hoping that Life is Strange Double Exposure has the same chapter replay feature as the previous ones for collectables 🤔 That was handy for nabbing the things 😛 Glad you can vouch for Stray!

[@Bianca-x9j8u]

Did I just see Jessica’s Guide to Dating on the Dark Side?! I loved that book an high school! I consumed that book so fast!

[@JashiiCorrin]

Haha yeah it's for my Orilium challenge 😛 Needed a title with all the letters of my name...so went easy-mode and just picked a book that HAD my name 😝

[@doomsdemon]

when you were doing the books of paradise and you question how you show that you'd read them, you can use the dot markers to put over the letters on the map and the list to show you have read them. that's just an idea don't know if it'll fit what you want to do though.

[@PlanWithEmm]

I'm also playing Stray!!

[@PlanWithEmm]

omg AND watching The Rookie!

[@JashiiCorrin]

Twinning 😂💪

[@aturner047]

You should 100% take a a hint out of Monica's book and do a tip in for the books read for the tbrathon

[@JashiiCorrin]

She’s the queen of reading journal tip-ins I swear 👏

[@nildam.bonilla5849]

I looove your map ❤ do you have a video of how you make them/decide on how to draw things? I want to try it to make my world map for my story❤

[@JashiiCorrin]

I don't have a video on it at this stage, but possibly at some point! Long-story-short is that I just start with a general outline of the island(s), sketch out where I want specific places, add in areas for particular land forms, and then sketch them in 😊

[@Cheshirekat411]

The map 😍😍😍

[@JashiiCorrin]

Glad you liked it 😄💜

[@dwoodw6990]

What font is that you used for the titles? I really like it. Also, I can not wait to see Monica's 2024 journal. Both the previous ones are most definitely goals.

[@julielevesque3723]

What is the sticker paper that you buy? Do you have an Amazon store?

[@fernandachristensengama5245]

Very concise and informative, as always. Beautiful clean design. I wish to see your own world map process/progress. I “had” to buy your printable but now I’m “insecure”😅 Thanks

[@JashiiCorrin]

If you wanted a better look at it, you can see that one in my setup video from last year 😄💜 kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZneXdZmHia2sitUsi=kyoKdhPZvR1K-T6t

[@fernandachristensengama5245]

@ Thank you. By any chance you’re going to “make” a printable of your rendition of the map of TBRthon? Yours is delicious and much more inspiring than the original. I’m building my reading journal on your video of ideas. Watched and noted few times already. 💯

[@bexywexy4040]

I have a countdown set for.onyx storm....I may need help lol

[@JashiiCorrin]

I'm so excited for it 👀!

[@Bianca-x9j8u]

Can your mini calendar tracker be used to track your reading through out the year by coloring in the days you’ve read? Also, great video! I can’t draw at all but I love your map

[@JashiiCorrin]

It certainly could be used that way, yeah 😄

[@ultra-bloodbath4004]

you can always color code, A challenge has an assigned color which is the color of the highligter you use in the review for the title

[@JashiiCorrin]

That's a good strategy 🤔 Thanks for the idea!

[@leighamontgomery981]

But have you READ Crazy Rich Asians (and its sequels)? They are such a wild, hilarious ride. Bonus points for audiobooks, the voice acting is perfection!!!

[@JashiiCorrin]

Haha I'll have to check them out 😝💜
