Ahhh finaly! I really really wanted to see your spread for 2024! Inspiration hit me like a train too!

[@ambertaryn]

I’m working on my 2024 reading journal spreads today so this video came at the perfect time!

[@katieisreading]

aw yay🥰 i hope they turned out well!!

[@tungstensmum1491]

I don’t normally love “bookshelfie” spreads but yours with the window and the moon was so pretty ❤

[@starlasell5698]

❤📚 I've been searching on Pinterest for reading journal inspiration, so I'm so happy to see your beautiful journal. This will be my first attempt at making/keeping a reading journal.

[@Nicole-secret-gardener]

I was so inspired by this that I went to the website where you bought your journal, and have bought one! 2024 will be my first ever year of filling out a reading journal 😊 such a lovely creative idea, thank you ❤

[@katieisreading]

oh yay! i love their journals so much, you won’t regret it!!🫶🏻

[@selahdamerville4039]

I get so frustrated because i watch these and get so excited and then end up hating mine 😭🥲 i love your journal so so much

[@poulighosh5354]

THIS IS JUST WHAT I NEEDED!!! I was watching your previous year spreads for some journaling inspo and then this popped up. ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOUR JOURNAL VIDEOS❤❤

[@poulighosh5354]

I cant wait to see your 2023 journal flip through

[@katieisreading]

ahh thank you so much🥺🥺🫶🏻

[@Jocz0]

Last year you inspired me to start a reading journal. This year since i've been watching more journaling creators i started my 2024 reading journal rather early. I have a floral/butterfly theme for my spreads. Recently I also started a monthly planner as well!! And i may start a budget journal 😅😅

[@readingwithstormy2524]

I’m really excited for this new journal, I’m going for a witchy black and purple vibe and so far it’s really pretty

[@katieisreading]

ooh that sounds like such a fun theme!!🫶🏻

[@sandraw.2010]

The bookshelves with the circular window looks really lovely!

[@booksandteas]

can't wait to see all of these filled out throughout the year next year. i'm also working on my 2024 spread and your journal always give inspirations. love your starless sea key theme. 🗝

[@fruittreee6]

Yes!!! More inspo for my journal for next year!

[@jamiereadsx]

Ahh it came out so good!! I’m so excited to start my first reading journal in 2024! 🖤

[@donnascott2330]

I'm glad you decided to make this reading journal set up video, it was one of my favorites and a great inspiration! 🤗

[@mindychristiansen554]

Such a cute idea! I'm going to get journals for my girls (they're in middle school) and work on this together this weekend. Thanks for the fun ideas-love the bookshelf with the window!

[@white_edits9439]

So exited!!!! You’re my biggest Inspiration!!!!

[@athenasbibliotheca8099]

Your setup turned out adorable. I really like how your bookshelf turned out. ✨

[@myweakness1883]

I love how this looks! I'm so tempted to start my own reading journal now, but I know myself enough to suspect I might give up mid April 😂 But the spread with the bookshelves and the window is sooo beautiful, I wish Goodreads would upgrade its features to have something like this 😅 Right now my biggest reading goal for the end of 2023 is finishing the three books I'm in the middle of because I know I'm getting lots of books as Christmas gifts and I wanna start reading them as soon as possible 😂

[@arianadunbar477]

I really wanted to start doing a reading Journal in 2024 but I had supplies or any clue on what supplies to get so this showed me that u don't need a whole lot, thank you!

[@katieisreading]

yay i’m so happy i could help!!🩷🫶🏻

[@yulifray8942]

Great timing! I've just started planning my reading journal for 2024. I'm gonna use some of your spreads. Thank you for inspiration!

[@mikyl99]

Watching this makes me wish I'd come across your channel earlier! I've been meaning to do a 2023 wrap up of the books I've read, and i track what i read every month, but i LOVE the way you've dedicated a journal to it! I suppose March isnt too late to start considering i have all the info though! Definitely loved this video ♡

[@amandanovoa8768]

im so glad u decided to film this video! your book journals are always so pretty and i have the best time seeing whatever you’ll do for it next :)

[@macaylahbortner913]

I can’t wait, I’m pretty sure I’m getting a new customized reading journal for Christmas haha so I’m so happy I have your ideas for inspiration!!

[@tilia4352]

This is just Perfect! I just wanted to start my Journal!!❤❤❤

[@daphnenm]

I love your reading journal set-up! My theme is bright colours and bubble letters 😊

[@jessday4087]

my 2024 theme is a 90's theme and it got me excited for the new year !!! thanks for the inspo, youre the reason i started my journal !!!

[@NoaJasmine]

I love how your spreads turned out! You've definitely inspired me to try some of your layouts for my 2024 bujo and I wasn't considering doing a 2024 bujo set up but after watching this...i might just have to💛

[@AFishOutOfWater013]

I love your setup! 😍 you’ve inspired me to make a mood board of colors for this year - I just ordered my new journal & can’t wait to set it up! I’m thinking greens/golds 😏

[@afroditahidalgo2632]

I love this type of vlog like this with bloggers, personalized book notebooks, posis, how you show us indicative maps of what your world is like 🌍📚✨ reader I enjoy it like a dream

[@LadySkard]

what a lovely setup! I really enjoyed watching this ❤

[@TheBreeannNicole]

I read long shadow in 2023 and loved it!!! Can’t wait for you to read it too 💕

[@homebodyplanner]

Beautiful spreads. I love it!

[@Bookbonkers8439]

I have not set up my reading journal for 2024 yet, and yes, you did give me some ideas! I haven’t fully decided on my theme, I honestly may just wing it this time around and see how it turns out!

[@ConfissoesdeumaLeitora]

It's sooo beautiful, love it

[@luvpckpop9117]

Such a cozy and inspiring video❤

[@Ms.SpookyNerd]

Lovely journal setup 📚☕⛄🌨️🎄🎁

[@marijkevandersype8869]

I had a reading journal but I kinda gave up midway through the year. I already track my books on Storygraph and I sometimes don't find the motivation to track them physically. However, you have inspired me. I love these spreads because they really do remind me of 'The starless sea' which is my favourite book.

[@Libriecappuccini]

i will definitely make a "series to complete" spread in my 2024 journal. Thanks for the inspiration❤

[@annnajx]

ahhh this literally inspired me to make my own :,) ty for sharing!

[@mari-wi6mz]

Ahh!! Finally!!! Been waiting for this! This just made my day❤

[@cjgrant12]

I’ve been thinking of starting a reading journal but it seemed overwhelming until your video. Thanks for the inspiration!!

[@suzannemoore404]

This was so helpful, thanks! I'm journaling for the first time in 2024.

[@lolalin82]

Makes me want to try being more artisitic. I'll be starting a journal this year for the first time so I'm binge watching videos all day for ideas. Thanks for making them.

[@libbysreadingcorner9564]

I loved this video, I have no clue what my theme is going to be... Thanks for the ideas and the inspiration..

[@polly2900]

Love your book case page

[@Kittyzero13426]

I started my 2024 reading journal rather early just to make sure I got it done. The only pages that are themed is my book tracker page and my 24 books to read in 2024 tracker page. I chose Studio Ghibli bookshelf themed for my book tracker page and my 24 books to read in 2024 tracker page is Ponyo themed. I am currently reading The Only One Left, slowly reading An Ember In The Ashes, and Half A Soul. Happy reading and Merry Christmas!

[@just_vibes6532]

OMG studio ghibli theme is such a great idea!! Now I wanna do this too😭😭

[@katieisreading]

oh a studio ghibli theme sounds so lovely!! i hope they look super cute!!🩷

[@wofotaco4662]

I love all of your videos your amazing

[@giselle2chaotic]

im barely getting into reading journals so my first one will def be gothic themed !!

[@Amrowe23]

I wAnt to find a channel where they read mostly horror and thrillers and design their theme around that. So far I haven't. Have you had any luck?

[@amandanovoa8768]

“ah i can’t stand her sometimes” is me with my cat 😭 they get into everything!!!

[@TexasPelican]

Wow-love this!

[@kellebplans6182]

First year doing a reading journal….so excited. Dark academia theme 🤩🫶🏻

[@aufsandgebaut]

i treated myself and bought myself a quirky cup collective book journal for christmas and i am really excited for it!

[@katieisreading]

ooh they’re journals are so pretty!! i hope you have the best time using it!!

[@MariasNook]

I have not started setting up my 2024 journal yet because I am still behind on some pages in my 2023 journal and I want to catch up first 🥴 But your video gave me a lot of inspiration! I'm so excited to set up new pages hopefully soon!

[@lexyreads]

Looove your bookshelves. This is inspiring me to start my 2024 spreads! ☺ I just posted my reading journal flip through too 💖

[@melissatavaresk]

THE VIDEO I WAITED FOR ALL YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@katieisreading]

🩷🩷🩷 and i will actually be doing a video dedicated to my end of the year flip through in a week or so!!

[@annmariehayes5641]

It will be my first time doing a reading journal..I haven't read since childhood only started a few years ago, I'm finding it hard to know what books to read, Thank you for sharing your speads it was nice to see.

[@silvannamv]

I started book journaling this year in a random notebook I had and I loved it! I am getting a new journal for this specific purpose for 2024, so excitingggggg 🥰

[@katieisreading]

ah i’m so glad you’re loving it!!!!

[@kerriebrooks4957]

This makes me want to make a spread ❤❤❤📚

[@dgoz97]

Watching this as I finish my 2023 spreads and setting up my 2024 spreads. No specific themes used but trying to use more stickers than last year for an easier time

[@julre7866]

This looks so good :)

[@irenazvarova8496]

this video was sooooo fun !!

[@CristinaLaiASMR]

This is so good

[@shawnieadams1319]

Thank you for sharing, Katie! I love how yours turned out! 😍Yesterday I set up an altered book to use as my 2024 reading journal. It's an old reader's digest romance that I covered up and painted and went with a birds and flowers theme.

[@katieisreading]

oh that sounds so creative!! i love that idea!

[@Amrowe23]

How did you manage to do this? Did you just stick papers inside to cover the pages of the digest? This is such a cool idea. I've never seen anyone else do it!

[@shawnieadams1319]

@@Amrowe23 I tear out about 1/3 of the pages throughout the book and save them for later notebooks or projects. Then I use gesso and pain to cover most of the words on the page. I plan to use scratch paper and notebook paper to paste into the book. You can search "altered book" to see how others make them too. So many creative ideas out there!

[@vasanthasriram1098]

Still need to do my 2024 spreads but lot of inspo is coming from you ❤️

[@dianak.5412]

We LOVE it! ❤

[@pamdavies6199]

it looks really cool katie 😅 x

[@HappierbySeppy]

This journal is SOOOO dreamy!!!! I wish I had the time to do something as detailed !! I just use my Traveller's Notebook to do a short (half page) review for each book I read and I have a spread in my Bullet Journal to track all the books that I read in the year. I track too many other things to be able to keep up with a full reading journal like this (unfortunately)

[@cortneybowman7297]

Awww I love her disruptiveness

[@amandanovoa8768]

okay im already obsessed with the color scheme and keys😭

[@ReadingNymph]

Love the yearly spread! Im reading Emily Wildes Map of the Otherlands atm, it's so good!! My theme ended up being a plant theme, and I took inspo from your window book shelves for my books read page 😅

[@katieisreading]

thank you!! also i’m so jealous you got your copy of emily wilde early👀👀 i’m so glad you’re loving it though!

You've made me want to do journaling too even though I'm really bad at maintaining them😭😭, yours look so aesthetic, I love the theme and the color palate.

[@katieisreading]

ah thank you😭 but i also used to be really bad at maintaining journals! i tried to start a bullet journal in high school like 3 separate times and never kept up with them for more than a week!

[@liliamckenzie]

Hey this is so inspirational. I am trying to get into journaling and bought some stuff. Hoping to get through a lot of series. Like 30 series!

[@katieisreading]

30 series?? that’s so ambitious!! i’m rooting for you!!!

[@cherietuck3528]

Oooo yay! My fave videos 🎉🎉

[@UFOCrochet]

The Anita Blake series is a classic Urban Fantasy. Laurel K Hamilton has been credited for making Urban/paranormal fantasy a bigger Genre. The series does get very graphic spicy closer to book 15 ish. But everything is in its own chapters so if you don't like that type of spice you can skip those chapters and won't miss anything in the story line.

[@amandanovoa8768]

yes! quality over quantity is what im aiming for too. i rather i have a great time reading whatever im reading vs reading to just finish a book

[@legendaryreader39]

I write down my TBR for each month and all the books I end up reading. It's nothing. Just a list. When I finish a book, I write down title, page count, rating, the day I finished it, and the date the book was published. So, yeah, nothing fancy.

[@katieisreading]

as long as you’re doing something that works well for you then that’s great!!

[@mxsyra8127]

Hi, Katie! I loved this video so much, but what do you use to print out the book covers?

[@_Brushstrokes_]

With the circle bookshelf window tracker spread, what happens if you run out of book slots?

[@or9038]

I read a short, wonderfully weird, Japanese-translated-to-english book called "The Cat Who Saved Books" by Sosuke Natsukawa. You reminded me of it when you said you were sometimes reading just to read it. Plus - cats. Books and cats. If you need a simpler change of pace book, maybe give that one a try.

Definitely pick up Hobb's titles, you won't regret it! But maybe read Ship of Magic after the 1st cycle of the Farseer! It's easier to understand what happened. That's how I felt. 😊 P.S. Laughed so hard at Winnie at the end😂
