In this video I’m flipping through my reading journal and doing a proper July & August wrap up, starting with my yearly pages and then moving into my monthly spreads for each month. I chat through what I tracked, how my pages came together, and the kind of little tweaks I make as I go (because let’s be real, I’m always adjusting things to make them work better for me). If you love seeing the “real life” version of a journal after it’s been used, this one’s for you. I also talk through the two books I finished across these months—The Girlfriend Agreement and Semi-Well-Adjusted Despite Literally Everything—sharing my thoughts and mini reviews as I go. It’s a cosy, chatty catch-up where you get both the journaling side (layouts, tracking, memory keeping) and the reading side (what I read and how I felt about it). If you’re building your own reading journal, hopefully you’ll come away with a few ideas for what to track monthly and how to wrap a month up in a way that feels fun, not stressful.
