March Reading Journal Spreads & What I Read in February

Reading Journal

1 Mar

My reading journal is my FAVOURITE to use right now - I keep it super-low-pressure, with zero pre-planning. I truly just wing this journal every time I pick it up, and I think that’s what makes using it so enjoyable! Let’s prep some spreads for my March reading tracking, and take a look at all the books I read in February.

Check out the video below to see it all happen step-by-step, or scroll on to see photos.

Cover & Reading Stats Pages

I love coming back to my reading stats page to fill it out at the end of the month! I’m going for a soft pink theme this month, almost like a ballet pink. I’ve also set up a progress calendar and book club spreads in the same theme.

Here’s what I’m using for this setup!

February Reading Stats & Progress Calendar

Is there anything as satisfied as these pages all filled in? I’m not sure there is. Part of the glory of my current reading journal is how SPACIOUS it is - I’ve never used a B5 journal before this one and I’m loving all the extra room for book covers AND decoration!

Everything I Read in February - Review Pages

I’ve been finding the extra space of the B5 gives me enough room to add a little something that feels like a good fit to each book review page - even if I don’t 100% love each book. I have a go-to decoration-free layout I’ve used in the past ready in mind, but I haven’t found I’ve wanted to use it in this journal yet!
