Everyone welcome!!! Let me know if you want to be added to the tag list! 🔖

I only have a few pages left in my current journal, so of course had to buy myself 2 new ones on my latest book store run. Which one shall I use first?

My favorite stickers to use for my collage journal are from https://www.etsy.com/shop/CherryMoonFactory

♥️ these arrived today

Very cool new journal I got at Spirit 😍

Another reason to love Ollie‘s: these journals! The lines on the pages are the actual novel in tiny font. It‘s the coolest!!

Hello #LitsyCrafters ✏️
April's featured craft is journaling

We'll be hosting a virtual journaling event later in the month so stay tuned for a post with more info.

As always we still want to see what craft you're working on, so continue to tag us with your projects!

If you're not currently tagged in #LitsyCrafters news and would like to be, let me know.

I‘ve been working on my book journal the last week or 2, I work on it at slow times so it‘s taken a bit. It‘s not fancy but it will work.
Best of is for 4-5 ⭐️ reads
Not Great is for DNF or 1 ⭐️ reads
Goals are things I would like to accomplish with my reading this year, yes the sticker has one of my goals on it 😊 another goal is to actually remember to use this journal LOL 😆

I‘m enjoying the book journal I started this year. It helps me keep track of everything I‘m currently reading as well since I‘m in the middle of 7 books to complete several reading challenge prompts. I like having a lot of options when deciding what to read but I try to make sure they aren‘t similar plots otherwise I get confused 😄

So this is not a great picture… But I had to take a moment to laugh at myself. I haven‘t done a bullet journal in about a year and a half, but I decided I wanted one for my books this year. Went online and ordered it, and somehow ended up with this monstrosity. It‘s so big it wouldn‘t even fit in my big purse.

When the power goes out and there's not much else to do....might as well bullet journal by candlelight

I've been meaning to work on this anyway 😅

So excited to start this new book tracking journal I received from my hubby for my birthday! Combining my two passions, reading and nursing

So for the last 3 days I have been trying to find my reading journal. Turns out I left it at work. I was really afraid Josh accidentally burned it. But here it is. Today I will work on all my winter games points and catch up because I needed this book for record keeping.

Now the can umm drum. Do I continue this book for 2022 or should I start a new one. I started this book in Sept 2020. Thoughts? I have 30 pages left in this book.

@robinb oh my!!! I love this journal!!! Thank you so so much! Someone has picked up my love for notebooks/journals. 😀 I kind of collect them. Thank you so much again! 💕💕💕

You guys!!! Look at this gorgeous journal my husband gifted me today.

I didn‘t understand why people write down what books they‘ve read. I have them on my shelves, isn‘t that enough? After almost buying the same book for the THIRD time, I‘ve decided to start writing them down. Maybe this will help them stay in my head a little longer.

So this is that reading log people have been recommending. I started mine with Turbulence on 12/24 because that when I felt I got my mojo back post surgery.

Here‘s a sample page, along with my other amazon delivery - 50 scrunchies! The shaded area at the bottom is for quotes.

Here‘s the order link. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/1980338418?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

Many covers to choose from, if you don‘t like mine.

I started a book #journal last June intending to track how many books I read, the reading challenge prompts they fit, ratings, & possibly add a few favourite quotes. It wasn‘t long before I fell behind. My last entry is from Sept. 2018 & it‘s incomplete! I keep thinking I should try again but my brain insists I fill in the missing months & that seems such a daunting task. I may need to start fresh with a new journal. 🤔 #SelfImprovementSept

Sometimes Sadness makes Happiness more beautiful.

How lovely is this journal from #Ourstorybegins?! I stopped journaling after my mom died seven years ago, however, this little beauty may need to be filled with words, thoughts, and ramblings.

Trigger Warning: Pregnancy Loss

A year ago today we took a trip to Savannah, GA because I had miscarried our baby. Those pictures showed up today. This morning I took a pregnancy test. It was negative. Feeling a lot of emotions but trying to be kind to myself. Sometimes life is hard. And sad. And full of loss.
Journaled about what I'm grateful for and Litsy popped up. Thank you for being a good community. ♡

"I'll just pop in and see what journals they have..."

#twofortuesday

1. Yeah, I like lighter, fluffy reads on vacation, and in the summer in general. When my clothes get lighter, so does my food and reads.

2. Oh, for sure. I also like to bring extra books to leave behind.

@TheSpineView

I'm kind of in love with this moleskin book journal I got from Barnes & Noble! 😍 It's alphabetized, has places for thoughts and quotes, and came with stickers also. It's pretty awesome! I know that this type of thing is sort of pointless what with goodreads and other sites to track reading and such, but there's just something super awesome and rewarding about physically writing it down and carrying it with you! 🤗💕📚

Next....look at all the treats!! I'm super pumped for this. Mini eggs and Pull-N-Peels are my obsession! And I haven't had sour bottles in years. I am in 🖤 with the infinity scarf and journal. Galaxy theme is always a winner in my books! I squealed a bit at the HP socks and the unicorn mug is awesome!! I can't wait to use it with the Kahlua French Vanilla coffee (it's like you KNOW me, 😆)

Finished off #guildmaster
Not a bad book. Not a great book. Could definitely use editing.

Well, my next audio book isn't presently listed, so I'll use a blank journal as a place holder for now.

Guild Master by Ivan Kal
Tower of Power. Book 1

It took me just over 2 years to fill one book journal... into the next!! 🤓

I got this beautiful #celtic covered journal for Christmas a few years ago from my in-laws. I‘m still deciding what to put in it! #literaryluck

Part one of my book log update. I‘ve got bits and pieces assembled for this months‘s pages. I still have to print some photos out to go with reviews and stuff, but I‘ll put it all together at the end of the month. Excited for this. A sneak peak at challenge pages next

Seriously I have a problem #notebooksanonymous

Ugly mistake on the page...but no one is going to see this except for y‘all and me lol! #bookjournaling

Instead of reading any of the 3 books I‘m currently reading...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I spent the better part of my afternoon creating the first page to my 2019 planner!

#TBR #LitsyAtoZ #SeriesRead #Classics

Did I mention my love for lists and organization? Just one of my planned trackers for this year. I have a list of challenges and readathons I want to participate in, not to mention a goal of reading at least 30 minutes every day. Trackers galore!

Taking another crack at a reading log this year. My plan for the design and layout for this falls somewhere between a bullet journal and an art/junk journal. It‘ll be a reflection of myself, I‘m a designer with a deep love for lists and charts and organization.

2019 book planning! I found a huge list of reading challenges at girlxoxo.com and modified some of them to suit me a bit better and then made up a couple of my own challenges to help me get through my 200 book physical tbr and get me motivated to find new books to love.

I got two new journals today. I had finally finished my "life" journal that spanned 3 years. And I decided that I wanted to get a new one but also a journal to record books and quotes. Is anyone else into journaling? Have more than one going at a time? Tell me all about it!!
Happy Friday Littens :)

Edit: I keep a record on goodreads, Pinterest, & here on Litsy. I would like a written record as well.
I just bought this lovely little journal to keep a written record of the books I‘ve read. One problem...I‘m debating between writing down everything I‘ve read or the more recent years. Both have their pros and cons. What do you all think? Should I go back to the beginning of time, or start with books read within the last 4 years or so?? 🤔 💭

I'm a bit obsessed with journals. I can't even journal. I collect them bright eyed and a bushy tailed, with the hopes of one day being able to just write without direct. Still haven't broken the seal on a single blank journal but that doesn't mean I don't love them! #inspirationalasfuck

#journal #bulletisbest #highexpectations #lowexecution #cantripoffthebandaidyet

The hubs ( @TheWhiteHatter ) and I went out today to get more stuff for the wreath I‘m making and we both ended up with new journals. His is the little picket sized leather one, and mine is the flamingo. 😊💗

A lovely new journal for #LitsyAroundTheWorld My lighting isn‘t great today. It‘s dark and rainy. I hope you like this one @scripturient It has a soft leather cover. And it smells wonderful.

It‘s happening! Got my book covers all printed out today on sticker paper and I‘m getting everything laid out. Yay!

Found this little gem at Walmart for $4! It has Coptic binding so it will lay flat, which means I can use the whole page! And Kraft paper pages so pasting, painting, drawing, or anything else I decide to do should be a-ok.
