Reading journal July 2022
For my July reading journal, I wanted to showcase a couple of photo’s from my recent holidy to Norway. Since last months theme was also a non-bookish theme, I did not feel impeded to continue also this month with a non-bookish one. I picked my photos, but then had to pauze and think a while on how I could incorporate…

Reading journal June 2022
For my July reading journal, my inspiration came entirely from this beautiful photo that I came across on Pinterest. I absolutely love these colours! I was so charmed by the photo that I didn’t even consider that it was not a bookish photo until much later, lol. My printer printed the photo somewhat dark, but I didn’t want to print…

Since I started keeping a reading journal in 2019, I also started tracking a lot of numbers about the books I read, not only in my journal but also in a massive Excel file containing loads of data on my reading habits. Because I have now collected a couple of years of data, I can now also make some nice…

May reading journal
For my May reading journal theme, I didn’t immediately have an idea what I wanted to do. When I’m at a loss, I usually take to scrolling through pinterest and instagram for inspiration. That’s how I came across this spread from Creachick, which got my creative juices flowing. Once I kind of had my desired color palette in mind, everything…

Rating using BALSPEL
When I started paying more attention to my reading habits a few years ago, one of the things I started thinking about was the way I was rating books with stars on Goodreads. Before that, I gave stars purely based on my feelings and usually immediately after finishing the book. In 2017, I published a post about how I started…

July book haul
I do most of my reading on my e-reader nowadays. I bought it almost 3 years ago and since then it has claimed its place in my purse. But that doesn’t mean that I no longer buy paper books. I adore buying books, just as much as I adore buying yarn! This month alone I already bought more books than…
