In this video I’m setting up my 2026 reading journal on my iPad in Goodnotes, and I’m keeping it super simple and actually usable (because I know I won’t stick with something that’s too complicated). I walk you through the core pages I always want in a book journal: a TBR page, a challenge page, a books-read tracker, and then a handful of notes/review pages so I can capture thoughts as I go. The goal is to have everything in one cozy place that makes reading feel even more fun, not like homework. If you’re wanting to make your own version, this setup is meant to be flexible—add more pages if you love stats, or keep it minimal if you’re more of a vibes + quick ratings person. I also link my full Goodnotes tutorial if you want the step-by-step “how to build it from scratch,” plus my Read Your Bookshelf challenge video and a flip-through of an older journal for inspiration. By the end, you’ll have a clean 2026 book tracker you can actually open all year long to plan, track, and reflect on what you’re reading.
