New Reading Journal Set Up + GIVEAWAY! 📚 B5 Reading Journal Ideas

[@LivinItUp98]

A quick tip for making sure your stamp is lined up right. So with my 5 star stamp I drew lines on the wood on 2 sides, bottom and side. That way I can triangulate where it hits. Game changer

[@mackenzietaylor9626]

My favorite read of this year has been the Inheritance Games Series. I recently started rereading it and fell in love with the mystery of it, as that is something that I don’t normally read. I find the characters super intriguing and I just want to keep learning more about them and how they deal with all the wild things that are happening.

[@SMMapleAuthor]

Oh, this is so pretty! I've been thinking about setting up a reading journal for 2025 myself, and seeing how s t u n n i n g this one is just makes me want one even more! Is it too cheeky to say my favorite read this year was my own book, Fae & Fury? 😆I published it last September and reread it this year as I prepared to write book 2, and there is no feeling like holding your own book in your hands. As far as others' books go, though, my favorite was probably The Time of Contempt, one of the entries in The Witcher series. It felt really good to finally make time for the series and move another book forward!

[@GigglesFPS]

the ‘burned washi’ and the marble washi at 13:10 looks so good together!!

[@chaoswithsusan]

Wow. This makes my reading journal for 2024 look so sad. You created a work of art!!

[@skadig]

Beautiful set up, Erin! Good luck everyone. My favorite read this year was The Meg (yes, the book the movie was based on). I've learned I really prefer to read action/thrillers over romance and fantasy 😂

[@DancingBats]

What a gorgeous Reading Journal, and such a generous giveaway! I have so many favourite reads from this year, but one of them was Over Sharing, mainly because my Mom and I read it for the book club we started for just the two of us. We have busy lives, but it’s a way of us making time and coming together and chatting about books.

[@steppy3736]

My favorite book of 2024 was Notes On An Execution by Danya Kukafka. The book was so well-written and there were many passages that "spoke" to me. The book even caused me to rethink my views on the death penalty, which was miraculous because once I make up my mind, I'm not easily swayed.

[@ForeverKaitlin13]

My favorite book was Hunting Adeline (second book in the Haunting Adeline series). I love dark romance. The romance was great, the thrill was great, so many emotional ups and downs. Just all around a great book. I had to take many breaks because of how dark it was at times, but it is one of my favorites!

[@butterflygirl2332]

OOOhhhh I've read so many good books this year! My favourite is probably Hounded by Kevin Hearne, it's an amazing urban fantasy with a druid as the main character. If you love sharp humor, fantasy and mythology you'll love this. It's so recognisable and yet such an original way of using religion and mythology in one story without disregarding or being insulting in any way. I loved it!

[@danncraig4653]

Absolutely gorgeous spreads! I love watching you put these together. My favorite book of 2024 was actually the ACOTAR series. I started the first and couldn’t put them down. Maas has a way of completely drawing you into this fantastical world. I can literally envision the lands and characters because her descriptions are so robust.

[@MelissaLehmann-p9k]

My favorite book of 2024 was When the Moon Hatched. I thought the reading was absolutely beautiful. The world building was perfect, I fell in love with both the FMC and the MMC and thought the story was so interesting.

[@kellyodonnell2732]

Great Video!! Beautiful reading journal! My favorite read for 2024 was The Invisible Life of Addie Larue by V.E. Schwab for it's ability to switch back and forth between time periods without losing the readers attention, and using that to build suspense as the ending unfolds. Really was a page turner for me!!

[@julia_l-c]

Love the deckle edges. While Fourth Wing/Iron Wing are currently taking up space in my brain, I'm going to recommend some authors I love, who I've read multiple books from that aren't your typical popular picks. I loved She Who Knows by Nnedi Okorafor - it's the first in a prequel duology of her book Who Fears Death (which was also great! Honestly everything I've read by her has been great). P.Djeli Clark is another author who has good world building and writing is amazing, released the first in a new series The Dead Cat Tail Assassins.His previous Djinn series is really good as well! Rebecca Roanhorse is also amazing, I finished her Between Earth and Sky Trilogy this year, loved them all, and I've loved everything I've read by her as well.

[@llizardosaur]

This is so beautiful! My favorite read this year was probably The Hero of Ages by Brandon Sanderson (Book 3 of the original mistborn trilogy). It had so much good intrigue and the resolution of the ending tore my heart out and spat on it, but also was the most beautiful book ending I think I have ever read in my life. I sobbed, many times.

[@mariannes7777]

Hi! What a gorgeous journal. My favorite book of 2024 is impossible to pin down, however i went into a huge depression after the US election and Sipsworth absolutely soothed my aching soul. So out of the 88 I've read, I will choose Sipsworth for it's amazing healing properties.

[@gabymargall]

What a beautiful journal! My favorite read of 2024 is The Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern. I loved the beautiful prose and all the misteries about the sea, books and characters. There are many stories intertwined inside the novel, it is almost like an infinite book. I can't stop thinking about it after three months, and I've read it twice ☺.

[@taytaytalk3937]

Thanks for the great ideas for page layouts without boxes! My favourite read of this year was The Alice Network. It has been in my “maybe next” list for a long time and is a genre I don’t usually read but I loved it.

[@samsreadingcorner08]

Butcher & blackbird by brynne weaver because it was just a fun funny time and Rowan is Irish and I’m a sucker for an Irish accent 😂

[@AureliaVel]

I do book readings live on my Twitch since I can't legally record them even though it's with my voice. We read 3 this year, but honestly my absolute favorite book was "Doctor Who: The Ruby's Curse by Alex Kingston". It's a great book even if you're unaware of the characters themselves. It's a fiction that focuses on Cleopatra, time travel, and mysteries. Recommend it most of all if you ARE familiar with the characters because it's so entertaining and fun. Adventure all around if that's your vibe! I never expected to like it as much as I did. I figured it would be a generally decent book, but I LOVED it.

[@krad_slouds0]

I really love your Journaling set up 🪄🔮 Thanks for the giveaway. My favorite book for 2024 is Ikigai 🌸 Ikigai means "Life to be worthwhile" or "Purposeful Life" This is one of the best self help book I have read. It not only imparts theoritical knowledge but also provides practical examples. One of the best lines I came across in the book is - ''The happiest people are not the ones who achieve the most'. They are the ones who spend more time than others in a state of flow.'' In today's fast paced world where we are always in a hurry, it teaches us that we will miss out on most of the things if we live a hurried life. Building virtues is more important. I would recommend this book for anyone wanting to focus on internal growth 😊

[@capicis]

Beautiful set up, Erin!! The Spellshop and the House Witch series

[@RyeMiArt]

I read Blood Over Bright Haven at the end of 2023 and nothing I read this year was better 😅 (And I've read A LOT in 2024). Anyone who'll win this journal will be so lucky. Good luck everyone!

[@Kart153]

My favourite book of the year is a toss up between two books, Funny Story by Emily Henry and A Sorceress Comes To Call by T.Kingfisher. This is the first year I tried contemporary romances and I connected so much with Funny Story, it came as a big comfort at a crazy time in my life. And Kingfisher is one of my absolute favourite authors and I’ll love any book she puts out, especially a fairytale retelling. Watching your videos this year has really inspired me to start a reading journal in 2025! This is even more stunning inspiration, and I might just try to recreate this for my self. I really like the idea of using a bigger journal like this, to have space for illustrations to do with every book review.

[@Adventuresover40]

I love love love this so much. I just got back into reading (the last couple months of the year) and so far my favorite book is Fourth Wing. It gave me all the feels and I love when a book can do that. It sparked my love for reading again and I even did a little reading journal for the first time for the last couple months. My want to read list is getting huge! Oh and did I click on almost every link you had.. yes, yes I did. 😊

[@vivianwakoff]

First of all, this journal is mine! It's all my favorite colors and themes! It's for me! All jokes aside, it's gorgeous and I'm sure whoever gets it will love it! My favorite read is actually a tie between 3 books: Jade City, The Dead Romantics, and The Travelling Cat Chronicles! I can't pick just one book, so will call it a tie!

[@Sam-lw5sh]

I have heaps of books this year that I really enjoyed, but the one that comes to mind specifically is The Undertaking of Hart and Mercy by Megan Bannen. It's a delightful and laugh out loud romantasy book that was just heaps of fun. It holds a particular place in my heart as it was the book that kicked off my fiance and I listening to audiobooks together. I was listening to the book one evening while making dinner and it had both my partner and I laughing out loud to the witty banter. Now, we listen to heaps of cozy fantasy, romantasy, and laugh out loud romance together now, which is lots of fun. Eta: the author

[@hooksandbooks09]

This journal is just gorgeous!! It’s hard to pick a top favorite of 2024. I dove into Brandon Sanderson this year and all of his Cosmere novels were amazing. If I absolutely had to pick my favorite I would say The Way of Kings.

[@meanderingsage]

What a lovely reading journal! Thanks for sharing Erin. I really loved Thornhedge by T. Kingfisher this year. The novella is smart and the protagonist is heroically kind. Definitely the best fairy tale retelling I've ever read.

[@firesemissary]

My favorite book so far this year was The Serpent and the Wings of Night. I loved that it felt like a take on Hunger Games but with vampires. The writing was well done and the book kept me so engaged, I ate the book up

[@devinnauman5374]

Everything about this video was magical! You are so talented. My favorite read of 2024 is definitely The Will of the Many. I just couldn't put it down, and loved the take on the "magic school" trope.

[@yoganisingh5051]

amazing set-up Erin. My favourite book this year is the Spellshop by Sarah Beth Durst. I loved the entire reading experience. It was like sinking into a cozy couch and having a nice cup of tea while touring a new world.

[@sandymendes4838]

My favorite read of 2024 was The Women by Kristin Hannah. It was such an emotional rollercoaster but I loved it! Usually I’m a fantasy or romantasy reader, but this historical fiction was a book club book and I LOVED it!

[@Zantauria]

My favourite book so far this year is the Evening and the Morning by Ken Follett. It's a prequel to the Pillars of the Earth, a World Without End and a Column of Fire, all books I've loved. The Kingsbridge series is an amazing story of one (fictional) place in England during different times in history. The fifth book in the series, the Armour of Light, was released this last year and is high up on my TBR-list.

[@nathsbujo]

Oh my, this set up is so pretty, the blue/beige combo is just perfect! My favorite read of the year was “The Ressurectionist” by A. Rae Dunlap (I read it as an ARC, but it releases next month) and it was my favorite because I fell in love with the main characters (they all have my heart) and the story has a background of dissection and med school that bought back memories of the time I studied anatomy in collage and also I learned so many stuff about how these things worked in the XIX century (that’s when the book is set). It was nostalgic and heartwarming read at the same time. Super recommend it, unless you are more sensitive to body dissections - they are quite descriptive.

[@autumnshorts5428]

Ahhh this is so pretty I love it! My favorite read of the year is tied between The Luminous Dead by Caitlin Starling and The Warden by Daniel M Ford. They both have such fun and interesting worldbuilding and while they're both very different vibes they have been rattling in my skull since I finished them!

[@k.miwa.x]

My favorite book this year was "In Memoriam" by Alice Winn. I have a hard time explaining it but when a story has characters writing letters to each other imbued with so many things unsaid through their poetry, I can't help but dream with them even after I have finished the book.

[@ellenschlagel8030]

I think my favorite book this year was "All the Devils are Here" by Louise Penny. It is a murder mystery set in France and was an easy and intriguing read. It is a part of a series of books that she has written. The mystery journal is very beautiful and whoever wins it is going to be very happy and lucky!

[@TotalMayham]

My favorite book/series this year has been The Raven Cycle by Maggie Stiefvater. I got the first one as a gift from a friend and reading was great although i know some people dont love it as much as i do. However im indebted to it as it really jumpstarted my love of reading again. I loved how simple and yet not so simple the book and the plot was.

[@allisonhausman9508]

The Mirror by Nora Roberts. I love Nora's more fantasical plots, a little magical but still almost plausible. Like you could actually see the story happening in real life. I also LOVE the way she writes. Her dialouges are witty and elevated without being pretentious. When I read her books I am literally always thinking "I wish me, and the people in my life, spoke like this." I don't, obvi, but a girl can dream...😮‍💨

[@anziacromer9945]

Lovely journal decorating and layouts! My favorite book is the only 5⭐️I’ve had this year! It’s “Legends and Lattes” by Travis Baldree. Lovely, cozy read about rising up from who you were to who you want to be.

[@jamimcmahon2924]

My favorite book of the year is hard to choose.I'm not sure which one in the series Shatter Me but it was definitely one of them. I loved them all.

[@lce_flower_00]

My favorite Book of 2024 Was "Das Buch der Seelen " I really liked the book. I liked the writing style. The book was hinting twards magic from the start. The cover is very nicely designed.

[@Booknerdcc]

Best book of the year so far is so hard! I've had 27 5⭐️ reads (out of 247 books read). I'd say either Memory of Light (final book in the Wheel of Time) or The Black Bird Oracle!

[@papelcoral]

My favorite read of the year was definitely the murderbot diaries series, specially the sixth book, fugitive telemetry. it's soo funny and such a light read that i'll definitely have an annual reread of them

[@gamingmisadventures]

Aaaah this is so gorgeous! I love the whole theme. My best read of 2024? Oooh hard choice. I think Everyone in My Family Has Killed Someone by Benjamin Stevenson was definitely in the top. I enjoyed the writing style and it had some good twists and mysteries. If you haven't read it, I definitely recommend! Another really good book for me was A Tempest of Tea by Hafsah Faizal. Tea and vampires? Perfect combination. I don't even need to say more.

[@dawnjones8341]

This is really beautifully decorated. So inspiring. My favourite book so far this year was Elif Shafaks The Island Of Missing Trees.

[@anvin3722]

I usually just log everything on the same one journal I use for everything... but this is so pretty. I might get a reading journal, too

[@TheWriMoBlog]

I tried to keep a reading journal many years ago, but that was right when my life was knocked around by a few metaphorical storms, so I stopped. Which has also resulted to me not reading as much as I used to... The only book I've read this year is Prince of Song and Sea by Linsey Miller. It's the Little Mermaid, but told from Prince Eric's perspective and has some added reimagined elements that I just loved.

[@yehudithdashevsky443]

One of my favorite reads of 2024 has been When the Angels Left the Old Country by Sacha Lamb because the main character friendship was so sweet and cozy and it was a cool genre bender (indie author doing a contemporary, queer, magical realism take on the Yiddish novel)

[@aarfyie8481]

As a beginner I found the B5 a bit daunting ^^. So I'm starting my first reading journal in a A6 (could that be the correct size? - the standard one). I think it's so thoughtful of you to do this giveaway!!! :)

[@awesome7107]

My favorite read of the year so far would probably be phantasma. It was a good mix of things I like to read and stuff I don’t read as often. I loved the plot.

[@luciennelo287]

This journal is really beautifully decorated! It's hard to say which book was my favorite in 2024, but I really loved The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton.

[@inkacat863]

My favorite (audio)book, or more books were the folk of the air seties, or more known as cruel prince series, i love it, i love the characters cardan and jude and the story, all the plottwists made me so mad and so happy at the same time! It made me to listen to more audiobooks, wo i have enough for the next year 😊

[@gailchu50]

Awesome setup for the lucky winner! My favourite book read in 2024 would be binding 13 because I haven’t read a book like this before. Please search up trigger and content warnings before picking up this book. It is not meant for everyone! I definitely felt her pain and I am still thinking about it till this day. I can’t wait to read the second book of the series!

[@dawnfiller3129]

My favorite 2024 read was the Hitched Collection of 4 books by G.K. DeRosa. The 1st book, The Bachelorette, was a 5 star read! 😊 Your journal is beautiful! Whoever wins it will love it!

[@TanyaAdamsWriter]

I love the journal set up. It's so beautiful. My favorite book so far this year is Funny Story by Emily Henry. It was a book club pick and not something I would have read normally. It's contemporary romance and I found that I enjoyed it very much and am looking at other titles by her.

[@kariikosmos3005]

Stunning! Honestly, you did so well doing a balanced setup for a journal when you have no idea who will receive it! My favorite read of 2024 has to be The Deer & The Dragon by Piper C.J.

[@RazzleDazzle5]

This journal is stunning, you really have an eye for what colours, patterns and structures work well together. My favourite book so far this year I think has to be One Dark Window; the unique magic system, political plot, and mystery were so captivating and made for a fantastic read.

[@madison_brooke]

I think my favorite book that I read this year is Emily Wilde’s Encyclopaedia of Faeries! I read the first and second books in this series and I absolutely loved them!

[@maidenfinesmixedbag8880]

This looks so gorgeous. I keep waffling between continuing to use the journal I repurposed for reading toward the end of the year or setting up a nice reading journal this year. I suppose if I win this one, fate will have decided for me. 😂 My favorite book this year was Bride by Ali Hazelwood. I've been getting back in the habit of regular reading, and I forgot how much I love a good supernatural novel. Add in that she managed to have a really unique take on vampires and werewolves and it was a lot of fun. I hope she continues the series.

[@jaymetoliver8156]

Wow this is stunning! I love how thoughtful you were about the spare pages so they match the theme. My favorite book this year is a tie between Heartless by Elsie Silver and All Rhodes Lead Here by Mariana Zapata (fav from 2023)

[@shawnacarter946]

My best book was Atomic Habits. That book got me motivated again.

[@Cymindis]

What a fabulous set up! I love the colours and warmth of the spreads. Picking favourite is really hard, one that has brought me much joy has just had the first book released is "Tunnel Rat: A LitRPG Adventure" by Walrus King. It has made me giggle and made me tear up with heart warming moments all packaged in a story set both in dystopia heading world and a 'game world'' where quirky adventures await all. I've been reading it as web serial and am so happy for the author to now be a 'published' author. highly recommend giving it a chance when you're in the mood to have light hearted adventures woven through serious character development and backstories.

[@caithenry8429]

As always I love the fantasy aesthetic, but your editing prowess really shown through this video! My favorite book I read in 2024 was Dig by A.S. King. I didn't know much about its premise or author going into it, but it was powerful, poignant, and will certainly stay with me for years to come. It takes a bit to get into and to watch everything fall into place as themes, but when it does, oh man its hard to put down!

[@JustForDun]

Gorgeous! My fave book this year was 'Satiro Scientifico' from Barbascura X. He is a science communicator who uses comedy as a way to mantain science easy to consume and to understand. Really lovely reading.

[@chiwo_os]

I’ve been looking for reading journal inspiration for my 2025 journal all week and I love your setup. My favourite book of the year has to be A Court of Silver Flames. I loved Cassian and Nesta’s dynamic and the banter between them. I also see myself as Nesta in some ways (mostly the reading) and I find her character development so inspiring. Cassian is also my favourite bat boy so bonus points :D ❤️

[@isirlasplace91]

My favourite book for 2024 so far is The City We Became by N.K. Jemisin. The writing style is like nothing I've ever read before and the whole concept was so imaginative! If I were to win, I'd have you send it as a gift to my daughter who lives in Australia (we're Canadians), since she's rediscovered her love of reading this year🥰

[@musicfan1984]

So my favorite book of this year is the first book of the Daevabad trilogy, The City of Brass. I love the lore and world building of the series. The characters are well written and complex in their motivations. It’s a dense book but I listened to it as an audiobook. Loved every second of it.

[@carolgorman2324]

So pretty, my favorite do far has been “The Wemon” by Kristin Hannah.

[@Gnc1821]

I always enjoy watching your videos. I would love this journal. My favorite book so far has been The Last Tiara by M. J. Rose. It’s a dual timeline between a mother and a daughter. Takes place in Russia during the fall of Tsar Nicholas and in the 1940’s during the creation of the atomic bomb. It’s a beautiful story about a daughter on a quest to find out about her mom’s life before coming to America.

[@ChaptersWeLove]

Oh I love it! Not entering the giveaway but definitely using this as inspiration for my reading journal. One of my favorite books this year is The Scholar and the last faerie door by H.G. Parry absolutely love that book 😊

[@bucca2]

I love the layering you did with some of the tape and sticker elements, I need to do more layering and torn/raw edges with my spreads. My favorite book this year was Yellowface by RF Kuang!

[@mizzlove95]

My favourite read(s) of this year were all the books about Sparhawk by David Eddings. I read one, or two can't remember, of them randomly years ago and finally read them all!

[@capobvious]

What a beautiful journal 😍 My favorite read of 2024 was "Women Who Run With Wolfs" by Clarissa Pinkola Estés - a truly insightful and inspiring read! Estés shows through fairytales and myths how women have been teaching each other important lessons and insight about themselves and the world around them. I've read a lot of psychology and self-development books this year as part of a Life Coaching course I've participated in, but that book was truly something else! It really helped me to understand more about my own femininity and psyche. Highly recommend!

[@heidimunk4938]

So a suggestion for your reading journals that I do for each book. I include a section where I write down a question or questions about the book I would ask the author if I got to be in the same room with them.

[@rcbookworm4637]

This journal is GORGEOUS! I can't wait to get started on my 2025 setups! My favorite book this year will probably be Artificial Condition by Martha Wells. The relationship between Murderbot and Art is friendship goals in the funniest of ways and I have reread the book three times since I first read it in August.

[@MyselfStrange]

Omg this would fit with my 2025 theme so perfectly! I have only seen the preview yet but its absolutely stunning!

[@TheBellastella]

Came for the inspiration, stayed for the editing and music 😂 I was bobbing my head to the music all throughout the video! Not entering the giveaway because I haven't really done much reading in 2024, so I don't have a favorite book!

[@Alya-B]

It’s so beautiful ! As for my favorite book of the year it’s Assistant to the villain written by Hannah Nicole Maehrer, I loved the characters and their relationships, it’s a fun book to read :)

[@MapleMooseMuffin]

I'm absolutely desperate for this reading journal, just the tarot card page had me breathless. If I don't win I'll be buying out the whole description box 🤣 My favorite read this year was probably The Disappearance of Vanessa Shaw by Sarra Cannon. I'm normally a slow reader, one book a month, but I tore through this book in under a week!

[@satinsleeves]

That's such a gorgeous journal! I would love to win it. My favorite read of 2024 has been Nettlw & Bone by T. Kingfisher. I love fantasy and I find it refreshing that the character is "older" (in her thirties). I also just really love T. Kingfisher's writing!

[@axellesimon3254]

I absolutely LOVED House of Earth and Blood by Sarah J Maas !! Not only is the romance somehow of a slow burn with a lot of tension but the plot and investigation was amazing!! so many plot twists, which is something I never expected in that book to begin with (maybe I just bought it because of the beautiful cover and because it was SJM ...!) but it was soooo good ! The world building was amazing as well. It's quite a thick book (900 pages in the French translation) but it only lasted me 2-3 days!

[@ashleystock1686]

My favorite book of the year (so far) was Sabriel by Garth Nix. I'm trying to reread the series and this is the first time that I've tried audiobooks. The series was narrated by Tim Curry and I absolutely love it! I enjoy watching your videos and they give me so many ideas that I want to try in my own journaling!

[@aahithyaaahi9994]

This setup looks majestic. my favorite book of the year is 'days at Morisaki Bookstore". Saw this book review in one of your reding journal review videos and thought of trying it, now I'm obsessed with such literary fiction books.

[@teacherlovesbeauty]

This is beautiful! My fave read was the ACOTAR series. And, The Seven Husbamds of Evelyn Hugo!❤❤❤

[@Cynddylan13]

Gorgeous! I haven't done a reading journal before but I love the idea of it, so this would be perfect! One of my fave books from the year is "You Can't Spell Treason Without Tea" by Rebecca Thorne. So much fun, plus a fairly quick and easy read.

[@sharonlovesbooks]

A beautiful reading journal that someone will love. My favourite book of the year? That is extremely difficult but I would say The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides, or We Used to Live Here by Marcus Kliewer. There are so many good books I have read this year that it is hard to narrow it down.

[@iuliar8333]

My favourite so far is Assasins Apprentice by Robin Hobb. Love it as for me, it seems like a John Snow story ❤

[@KimTaehee_95]

It's so beautiful.

[@JustBreCreates]

I have been loving rereading the Harry Potter books this year. Its been so very long since I read them and I have forgotten so many details the movies left out. it would also be wonderful to actually have a reading journal to record it in. I keep telling myself ill start one and just dont get around to it 😅

[@sneegl1t_tt]

This Journal set-up is absolutely magical! I love the way you create compositions that let your fantasy flow!

[@misseswallard]

My favourite read of 2024 has been "The nine eyes of Lucien" by Madeleine Roux. It is a really interesting book based in the fantasy world of Exandria (From Critical Role). It has moments of some genuine spooks but is overall a great read! The journal is really gorgeous by the way! ✨

[@officervinnie4498]

Such a gorgeous setup! I love the blues and the greens in it as it gives such a mysterious and whimsical vibe to the book. Also love that you use the scrap paper as a washi tape. My favorite book of this year is the first book of the House of Night Series, Chosen. I am usually not of the young adult genre but I do love how they didn't follow the usual trope of vampires but made a different spin on it. It also keeps you on your toes on what will happen next.

[@Readinginseattle]

Yayyyyyyy. Its beautiful

[@lucie6957]

So far, my fav book of 2024 was The Book of Doors by Gareth Brown...it has a little bit of everything. It is a book about books, time travel, and fight of good and evil and the superpowers of books....what more can you ask for. ❤

[@Marinthecloud]

Hi! I used to track my reading but never in a proper reading journal. So having this journal would be an incredible first one (fingers crossed). My favourite book this year might be Banned book club by Kim Hyun Sook just because it was perfect: inspirational, informative, emotional... loved it ^^

[@VariPyre]

Yayy My favorite read of 2024 so far has been House Of Hades by Rick Riordan. I never actually got around to reading any of his other books outside of Percy Jackson, so I've been slowly making my way through them in the 2nd half of this year.

[@nataliaberlanga1927]

I've read A LOT of books this year and many have been amazing. One of the latest has been Impossible Creatures, by Katherine Rundell. I've listened to it with my kids and I enjoyed it thoroughly. I loved the language, the story, the growth of the characters, the world.... It was beautiful and inspiring. In a completely different vibe, I read the whole Cormoran Strike series this year (by Robert Galbraith) and I couldn't put them down. This is a thriller series and I highly recommend listening to the audiobook. Love the reading journal, by the way ❤

[@shipwreckgirl]

My favorite read of the year was Imajica by Clive Barker. Given his reputation, I expected pretty intense horror but it actually ended up being closer to epic fantasy in a modern setting.
