Reading Journal Flip Through 💜 feat.

[@Monica.Bibliophilebynight]

Eeeeepp thank you for featuring my journal! ❤❤ Again minimal context but you did amazing considering (is this the recurring idea now 🤔). Also LOVE the background! Love that colour and it suits the journal!

[@Monica.Bibliophilebynight]

Also everyone that’s seen the foxgloves have also said something similar 😅

[@JashiiCorrin]

Literally decided to change the background because it suited the journal 😂 Thanks again for letting us feature your journal! 💜 Super appreciated 🥰

Monica, I have to know - where did you get the stickers on your February calendar page? They are so cute!!!!

[@Monica.Bibliophilebynight]

@@planwithcynthia I got them from Periwinkle & Oynx! They are super cute! 🙂

[@sentient.ball.of.stardust]

Absolutely impressive! Both the journal and the actual reading. I love how you organize everything so perfectly, with so much information being tracked, yet manage to keep it so beautiful! Quick reader curiosity, why did you cross out reading Well of Ascension?

[@dbrickner5292]

Monika needs to Publish a Reading Journal with all the templates and deco so the rest of us can feel so good about our reading lists. It is beautiful.

Glad I’m not alone on that one 😂

[@Kirsui]

Ah yes,. the """foxgloves""". Totally what they are. Yep. 😆 Anyway, it's very nice of Monica to let us see another of her reading journals. This is certainly an interesting experience as the way she journals differs a lot from the style I use. I don't read nearly enough to do statistics, but the concept of keeping them fascinates me and I'm definitely keeping it as a potential thing to try in the future if I dedicate more time to reading.

[@JashiiCorrin]

It’s nice to be able to highlight a different style on the channel, yeah 😄💜 glad you enjoy seeing it even it’s not quite the style you use!

I’m listening to the audiobook of Fourth Wing. I had the version from library that had multiple readers for each character. Have to wait for second part next month I think, so got the audiobook via audible and got Iron Wing too. Foxglove petals? I saw penis first and then thought maybe an odd bottle or crystal before you said they were the petals. Monica - AWESOME job! If I was to do a reading journal, that would be what it would look like

[@soniaesquivel9385]

Who created the book rating matrix??! I’m super interested in this verses the book bracket

[@JashiiCorrin]

I didn’t create it, but I did introduce it to Monica 😊 we talk more about it in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p4vEiXx_n819ndU (not the whole thing, just a segment; I think the matrix needs its own video)

[@chellesofbooks]

So happy to get another video look into Monica's reading journals! I absolutely adore the way she is able to record so much data in one spread, such as her Reading Tracker page. It's a powerhouse of information. MDSC stands for the names of the four of us reading together (I've just seen Sept and now know you know this!). Always makes me so happy to see our little buddy reads represented in any journal! I'm so in awe and inspired by all the statistics. Honestly the Statistics Queen for reading. Lmfao, I remember the foxglove spread and messaging her saying that the single foxgloves had me questioning what I was looking at XD I also love how we played Bookopoly over two months because Becca surprised us all with the Spookoplathon. And you need to join us Jess for this year's bookopoly board. Even if you just roll the dice once! Damn Monica went all out for Get A Clue. I love that. I think I just made a list lol! I am definitely going to do the Book Matrix this year. Totally walking away from this video with more ideas for my reading journal. Thanks so much for sharing, Jess. I love the joy you have for showcasing Monica's journals xx

[@JashiiCorrin]

Thanks Chelle! It's really nice to be able to showcase her journal on the channel, even if just to give people a different take from how I tackle my reading journal, but also cause her work deserves celebration 🥳 Wouldn't be opposed for joining in Bookopoly, though if I roll a bad number I'll riot 😝 #JessTheMoodyMoodReader 😂

[@VioletPhoenix922]

As always, Monica, your reading journal is *ridiculous*…in the absolute best way. So well done, so pretty and so much fun to snoop through!! Glad to see your handwriting, sticker and tip-in game is as on point as usual. Thanks for sharing again, and giving me hardcore envy for yet another year 😂😝 Also, Jess, re the single foxgloves, you weren’t the only one. I definitely did a double-take each time I saw them 😮😅

[@JashiiCorrin]

Haha glad I’m not the only one with the single foxglove double take 😂

[@MissBronwen]

Wish she had read all spicy romance that month. Would have been so fitting 😂

[@Monica.Bibliophilebynight]

I mean I still have the stickers so I could do a spicy romance month 😅😂

[@jouwjournalnl]

I was convinced I had to have a square notebook for my reading journal. And I intended to buy one for this. But then I stumbled upon a B6 with this design you show. And got the A5 from the sub box. Since books are rectangles too, it makes much more sense to me to put my reviews and other reading related journaling into these B6 and A5 notebooks. So yay for you Jessica, although Monica’s notebook is beautiful too 💛

[@JashiiCorrin]

Haha thanks 💜 It's nice to see reading journals in all sizes, so it's nice to have two different ones shown off on the channel 😄

[@hontonigomenasai]

I also dont read as much as Monica does but I love the flip throughs because they do give me a yearly challenge. I am currently using a bookopoly board for 2024, and for next year Im very interested in the magical academy. One day I might be cool enough to do monthly challenges.

[@JashiiCorrin]

I reckon you're pretty cool, jus' sayin' 🤙 The challenges can be a lot of fun! I certainly find them challenging cause I'm more of a mood reader, but they can be a good way to get outside of your typical reads 😄

Im doing my best to read a few books this year to finally get back to reading. I have too many that just sit on my bookcase that are just sitting in dust so I've trying to push myself. Seeing such variety of tracking styles is just jaw dropping when you were going through those her pages. Seeing some graphic novels makes me feel a lil better in trying to ease myself into reading 😅. I have a lot of comics so this gives me great ideas on organizing what I'm reading❣ Monica is True bookworm Goals❤‍🔥

[@JashiiCorrin]

Heck yeah for comics 💪 totally counts for reading! 😄💜

[@dancooper-jones]

I have a question for Monica. so if you're reading a book and it spans two months, in which month do you record it in? the month when you started it, or the month when you finished it? or do you start 'new' every 1st of the month? and make sure you finish everything ay the last day of the month?

[@Monica.Bibliophilebynight]

I rarely read books that span longer than a month, purely because I like to start the month with a “blank slate” but if I do, I track it across the calendar spreads and put it on my TBR list as number one in the next month. I put a line dragging from the beginning of box for the 1st to signify its a hangover - I hope that makes sense!

[@dancooper-jones]

@@Monica.Bibliophilebynight yes, that does make sense. Thank you. I didn't mean that they last a really long time, but just wondered if you started a book on the 29th, and finished it on the 3rd of the next month, that kind of thing. My own fault for being about to go to sleep, but also get the question in. Thanks for that🙂

[@LarissaVeloso-Planttubber]

Monica you are amazing. I love all the decorations and colors you used... I'm a purple person too so I really loved the purple pumpkins. I have shared this video with my dear friend, who is also a bibliophile, as she was mentioning just last night that she might take an old journal book and starts some form of a book journal. Due to her medical conditions, she is limited as to how much she can physically write or type, so the idea of printing stickers to decorate, or even to vocally dictate her personal notes on each book and print them out on label/sticker paper to put in a journal, is perfect for her. Thank you so much @Monica.Bibliophilebynight for allowing Jess to share you beautiful, in depth and inspiring journal!

I recommend the Epson EcoTank line for high quality printing. It has a built-in self cleaning function, so if you don't use it for a while, it'll clean its own nozzles. No more dried cartridges or printer heads! They definitely can range in price; I use a more expensive one (~$800) at work to print high quality investor proposal/pitch decks, and the feel of the printed matte presentation paper is heavenly.
