Unboxing my 2025 reading journals

[@Monica.Bibliophilebynight]

I CANNOT WAIT to see what you do with square notebook and see if you enjoy it! I hope you show those spreads too 🙂

[@chellesofbooks]

I'm hopeful I'll love it! And I will aim to share as much as I can xx

[@elliesnotes]

Yes! The raven square is so beautiful 😍. Yes please take care of your mom first. That’s very important so don't stress about content too much. Can’t wait to see how you set up these notebooks!

[@chellesofbooks]

I appreciate your support! And the raven one is so good. I'm really happy with the decision to use it long term so I can look at it over the next few years.

[@LavilyDay]

Thank you for sharing! I'm waiting on the ghost square. Going to use it for my first reading journal in 2025. Super excited 😁

[@chellesofbooks]

I wanted the ghost square so much but it was sold out from the local supplier I purchased from, and the raven and books was more suited to my bookish needs. I hope you have a blast xx

[@LavilyDay]

Oh no I'm sorry to hear that 😔 is the supplier the washi gang? I'm from NZ too! I should check them out 😮

[@chellesofbooks]

Yep I got it from WashiGang and it worked out cheaper to purchase from them than A&O directly - shipping is a killer! Glad to meet a fellow reading journal kiwi 🩷 are you on Instagram at all? There's a wonderful resource group chat for reading journals that I could ask to get you added to if you aren't already ☺️

I bought the A & O spellbook in letter size for my first media journal!🎉 I enjoyed this video :)

[@chellesofbooks]

I hope you have a blast with it xx

[@teacherlovesbeauty]

Those journals are BEAUTIFUL! Take care of your mom. 🙏🙏🙏

[@chellesofbooks]

Aren't they? I'm so eager to start using them! And thank you. I'm doing as much as I can for her xx

Thinking about having a square journal.

[@chellesofbooks]

It's definitely something new to play around with. I'm enjoying the challenge.

[@melizzavelez6823]

I know this might sound stupid, but do you know the name of the font you use for your channel name in the videos?

[@chellesofbooks]

I do. It's on Canva, and it's called Apricots. It's one of my favourites!

Wishing you strength to deal with everything, having loved ones go through things like your mom is, takes a lot❤‍🩹 Glad to hear you could have a more calm day to do this, I hope you take plenty of rest and grace for yourself. Both notebooks are stunning, such a cool vibe✨ That square is so exciting for 2025! I have also started with my 2025 set up, with an A&O for the first time. I went for the A5 though, because I'm a little scared of all the space that the square presents. Maybe I'll convert at some point, but not yet😂 Very excited to see how you will use them both, it's going to be awesome, I'm sure! Hope you stay well and that your mom can come home soon🧡

[@chellesofbooks]

I've started working in the square, and it's such a new type of world. Totally respect your decision to go with A5. Mum is home now, and I'm so grateful for your kindness xx
