In this video I’m diving into book journaling—basically a reading journal, but with all the crafty, scrapbooky goodness that makes the whole experience feel more romantic and personal. I show you how I like to start with collage-style pages (perfect for quotes, character vibes, and random paper treasures), then I build a yearly book timeline using miniature book covers so I can literally “see” my reading year at a glance. I also walk you through how I make those tiny covers in Canva, so you can customise everything to match your journal style. Then we go interactive: I create bookshelf pages you can flip through, a happy little reading scenery spread, and an easy layout for book reviews that doesn’t feel like homework. I also share one of my favourite ideas—literary maps—so you can track the places your stories take you, like a travel journal but for fictional worlds. To finish, I show how to make pockets for book memories (receipts, tickets, notes, ephemera), and I’ve put free printable trackers and layouts on my BuyMeACoffee so you can jump straight in.
