Reading journal setup | 2024 yearly reading journal | Notebook Therapy Travelers bullet journal

[@Flocco_dance]

Wow!! Absolutely GORGEOUS setup 😍 As a potterhead, I LOVEEEEEEEEEEEE the harry potter theme! I'm definitely going to use some of these spreads and ideas 🫶🫶 I've been reading journaling for 2 years, i'm a slow reader aswel, but I find that my reading journal encourages me to read more, just so I can fill it in ❤

[@teddybeeandme]

Finally the no pressure book journal I've been looking for! I love books, love reading but I'm such a slow reader. I've been toying with the idea of a dedicated journal for so long but been scared off by some on the videos I've watched because of how many books people read. This setup is perfect! Just my style... and I instantly recognised the Peter Pan reference... a beautifully written book... I'm sorry to say I was a adult before I read the original J M Barry works and not just Disney picture books.

[@nays_crafty_world]

I'm so glad you enjoyed the setup, I've been finding it so nice to use, with no pressure to read fast.

I too am a slow reader. I've had the same Reading Journal since 2020, that l am just about to finish. If you ignore the whole monthly set up approach, it is not at all daunting. Barbara 🐨🇦🇺🦘

@@papierandcakes2159 Sometimes is good to use monthly set up even though you aren´t quick reader. I am slow reader and mood reader too. I like monthly set up, because it makes me take a fresh breath at the start at the month and sometimes bring inovative wiew into my reading journal. One month I add my wish list for new books, which I was aware about their time into market. Other time I put there a list of maybe to be read? I usually read more books at the same time. It means, I have open 1- 4 books, but really reading only one for example. I am marking, how long the book lay in the middle of reading and how long I really actively read them. It is amazing to see the results. At least for myself. So I can saw, that I didn´t read while summer. It was probably too hot for me, or I had too much worries, that even books couldn´t save me. But some other month I miraculously read five books as it was nothing. I can compare different authors. For example... I almost everytime am able to read Agatha Christie´s Poirot into one week. But I never achieve it with fantasy book with the same amout of pages. I think, that month tracking is good, if you wanna make some selfmonitoring back in time, if you wanna try to find your old mechanisms, which you don´t see in the present. Or if you wanna see, what to read more thanks to your behaviour. I mean, I love lot of books, but when I see data, I can define more clearly, what I trully apreciate.

For free audio books there's Librivox. It's audiobooks read by volunteers, it's mainly classics in the public domain and I've discovered really great ones. I like the narrator Elizabeth Klett, if I remember correctly she did a version of Jane Eyre I really liked.

[@nays_crafty_world]

@@My.Curiosities Thanks! I'll definitely check it out! Especially because I want to read more classics

[@sophilozophy]

A beatiful set up. I like the idea that you are not putting any pressure on yourself to fill it up because it is meant to be used for a long time. Good luck on your reading journal journey.

[@nays_crafty_world]

Thanks so much! 😊

Please post more videos like this. I really like videos with talking voices and your voice is so soft and comfortable~

[@nays_crafty_world]

Thank you I appreciate it, I'll be uploading a new bullet journal setup video soon! 😁

[@IzuAurora]

Wow, your journal is beautiful 🤍 And I'm so happy I guessed peter pan right too 😄 I knew it straight away but was doubting myself that maybe I'm wrong. I loved how gentle, slow and calm this video was. My brain can't keep up with today's video trends with lots of cuts and super fast talking and loud everything. It's so nice to find youtubers who embrace the calmness and focusing in what they do without rush. Watched the whole video from beginning to the end cards 🤍

So funny. Aftrer shopping too much at this years Notebook Therapy Black Friday sale - or let's say during that - I really wanted to have a certain TN but wasn't sure what to do and thought about doing a longtime reading jpurnal, since I like the idea of a reading journal but don't read enough to have it on a monthly basis. :D Thank you for sharing your inspiration.

[@messtika-581]

It's beautiful 😍🥲💖 wish you all the best in filling it out all the way to the last page 🤗🤍🤍🤍

I totally relate to your reading habits! I always start reading like crazy around Christmas or fall and then stop as soon as spring rolls around. I tried to force myself into consistency by making monthly setups, but that did not work at all so I went back to just making a yearly setup with a few very simple lists and then I just do all my spreads related to each of the books after one another. I don’t finish the notebook after a year, so for the last few years I’ve been using the same notebook and always just separated the years with the yearly setups.

[@nays_crafty_world]

I also read way more during the fall, it's so nice and cozy. 🍂

[@dramaqueen914]

Please post more updates on this journal. Your ideas are really good, love the map❤

Thank you! I definitely will soon 😁

[@hopejoyfaith1342]

Thank you for the ideas and the inspiration. I was overwhelmed, but this has given me some direction.

[@nays_crafty_world]

You are so welcome! Believe me I know the feeling, sometimes you just have to sit down and watch a few videos to get into the right mind set.

[@amiam8998]

I recommend Libby, although your library might not be part of it. You log in with your library card and get to loan audiobooks and ebooks, it's the one thing I use for my audiobooks! Might be good for you too if you don't really have English books available where you are (here in Finland they can be pricey)

[@kaisahelenatammearu6959]

may I ask what library you are a reader of? I'm looking for a way to listen to audiobooks in finland but I don't know which library has the best selection of audobooks

[@amiam8998]

@@kaisahelenatammearu6959 I have both Outi and Helmet library cards! They both have great collections in Libby :) I think only in English though

Totally in love with the map idea!! I can't wait to make my own. Also what is living in Vietnam like? Are you from there? Are you there for work?

[@nays_crafty_world]

@@Sophopolis Hi! Firstly, I'm so happy you're going to make your own! 😁 Tag me on Insta if you upload a photo, I'd love to see. And to answer your other questions, I'm originally from South Africa, I moved to Vietnam 8 years ago to teach here and I absolutely love living here!

@@nays_crafty_world Oh ok very cool! And will do 😁 only if it turns out pretty! I'll have to check out your channel to see if you upload anything about teacher life, I'm about to begin a job teaching Spanish to kids so I'm ALL ABOUT teaching videos and always journal videos! Thanks for making cool content!

[@BooknBroom]

This was an absolutely beautiful set up video. I LOVE ALL your pages. It turned out so good. This is my third year using a reading journal, and it was never something I ever thought I would need, but man do I enjoy it. I can't wait to see everything else you bring.

[@nays_crafty_world]

Thank you so much! I've already started using it way more than I thought I would, to be honest, and I've even started to read more because of it! I'm happy you like it 💕

[@BooknBroom]

@@nays_crafty_world I had the same reaction once I started using a reading journal. I didn't know I was missing it in my life till I had one and I use it all the time! Great to keep my thoughts on what I read, but also such a creative outlet for me.

[@ingridbjrnstad4763]

is your next theme Peter Pan?

[@ellas._.corner27]

Disney or Peter pan

[@mopete9830]

On average people in the United States only read 12 books a year and only 32% of people in the United States read for pleasure. So you don't have to compare yourself to people who read over 100 books a year. That's like a really low percent of people on earth reading that many books a year. For example I read a average of a book a week every year but thats not actually me reading them every week one book. I typically read a average of one to three books a week. I read 100 pages a hour when the average is about 40-60 pages a hour. so your doing great. I love the hyperfixation journal it looks like you had fun. I do the same thing with mine only I have ADHD so I just decorate each page when I'm working on it with a basic set of washi tape and stickers.

[@Annes.library]

I personally use everand since you can get many different things. Podcasts (not so drawn to them but they're there), ebooks, audiobooks, and other stuff for less money compared to audible/kindle

[@nays_crafty_world]

I will check it out, thanks for the recommendation!
