![]() After going through my books, unhauling a bunch and seeing what I’ve got left that I still want to read – I definitely have quite a few series I still need to finish and although I’m slow – I do want to finish them. My last few spreads are again for long term tracking of books throughout the year. I never have to hand draw little boxes ever again. So this number is low pressure and great for me! It was also super easy to add all those boxes because Muji has a literal washi tape with them pre-printed (which is a game-changer). This is to make my TBR more achievable for what I’m able to read right now, and to allow for my now mood-reading tendencies! 4 is kind of the perfect amount, as my reading challenge is 30 and if I manage to read 4 a month, I’ll smash that goal and read 48. To make things easy, I’ve pre-added every month of the year and only left 4 spots for my TBR for each month. The TBR section is a simple layout that avoids me having to create a page every month that lists out my TBR. I created this collage-style cover for ‘to be read’ a while ago in another little journal I had that I, unfortunately, didn’t use much, so I wanted to reuse it and stick it into this reading journal to motivate myself. The next section of my journal is a monthly TBR list for the year. The little sticky notes come from DAISO, another amazing Japanese store you can go to in Melbourne. So this spread has a simple little sticky note design for me to track the books I’ve bought (physical and eBook). I’ve done pretty well in 2021 in that, I think I’ve only bought maybe…10 books? I can only think of about that much off the top of my head, which is pretty good! I went months without buying any books and I want to maintain that by hopefully only buying up to 15 books in 2022, with those books likely being anticipated reads I’d expect to get my hands on anyway. Book Buying Tracker & TBRĪs I was working on this reading journal, I did an unhaul of my physical books so it’s important for me to not buy books just for the sake of buying them. My stats page continues after another page of my reading log, in case I happen to read heaps next year. I know other bloggers and bookworms love to track the genres, the time read, the origins of books but with my limited time and mental space to think about those things, I just like to know that I’m reading regularly and enjoying myself. I chose the grey notebook cover so that it looks modern and I can carry it around day to day, whether I’m working from home or going to the office.Īs per usual, I do generally like to keep track of my reading stats – and the two stats I only really care about most of the time are the number of books and pages. ![]() If you didn’t know, Muji is a Japanese store with stunning, minimalist designs where you can buy pretty much anything there, including great quality and affordable stationery. I’m not sure why but the vintage, style and slim size that fits nicely in my hand makes this style of journal super cute, so this year, I got myself a slim B6 dotted notebook and a matching notebook cover in the traveller’s journal style from Muji. I’ve been weirdly obsessed with traveller’s journals, even though I cannot travel anywhere due to the pandemic. ![]() Without further ado, this is my 2022 reading bullet journal! My Setup I reinvigorated my love for planning, went on a small shopping trip to a few stores and got some stationery to get myself started. It’s really cool to see reading journals get more and more popular, and I noticed that with my busy schedule, how days can figuratively fly by and I have completely forgotten to pick up a book or take some time for myself. It’s been a wild journey in 2021 and it pleases me to say that I’m back into bullet journaling after a year’s break! Although it isn’t going to be a full-on, month to month bullet journal like that of my 2020 journal, I’ve decided to go back to bullet journaling to motivate myself and keep track of my reading! ![]()
