Absolutely impressive! Both the journal and the actual reading. I love how you organize everything so perfectly, with so much information being tracked, yet manage to keep it so beautiful! Quick reader curiosity, why did you cross out reading Well of Ascension?

Monika needs to Publish a Reading Journal with all the templates and deco so the rest of us can feel so good about our reading lists. It is beautiful.

Ah yes,. the """foxgloves""". Totally what they are. Yep. 😆 Anyway, it's very nice of Monica to let us see another of her reading journals. This is certainly an interesting experience as the way she journals differs a lot from the style I use. I don't read nearly enough to do statistics, but the concept of keeping them fascinates me and I'm definitely keeping it as a potential thing to try in the future if I dedicate more time to reading.

Hi! I was a participant in the Get a Clue Readathon. Professor Plum team. It was a great fun!

Your videos are how I found Monica in the first place and I've been following her on IG ever since! She's given me so much inspiration for my reading journal for 2024. :) Thank you both for your contribution to this community!

So happy to get another video look into Monica's reading journals! I absolutely adore the way she is able to record so much data in one spread, such as her Reading Tracker page. It's a powerhouse of information. MDSC stands for the names of the four of us reading together (I've just seen Sept and now know you know this!). Always makes me so happy to see our little buddy reads represented in any journal! I'm so in awe and inspired by all the statistics. Honestly the Statistics Queen for reading. Lmfao, I remember the foxglove spread and messaging her saying that the single foxgloves had me questioning what I was looking at XD I also love how we played Bookopoly over two months because Becca surprised us all with the Spookoplathon. And you need to join us Jess for this year's bookopoly board. Even if you just roll the dice once! Damn Monica went all out for Get A Clue. I love that. I think I just made a list lol! I am definitely going to do the Book Matrix this year. Totally walking away from this video with more ideas for my reading journal. Thanks so much for sharing, Jess. I love the joy you have for showcasing Monica's journals xx

OK, I have seen a lot in life, and Monica's journals are AHHHH MAYYYY ZING. I know I will not be achieving such elegance, but credit must be given whenst deserved. I have resisted joining Instagram for years, and may breakdown just to see more of her work. Question is though between reading and journaling when does she have time for the rest of life(?) AHHHH MAAAY ZING❣️

I was convinced I had to have a square notebook for my reading journal. And I intended to buy one for this. But then I stumbled upon a B6 with this design you show. And got the A5 from the sub box. Since books are rectangles too, it makes much more sense to me to put my reviews and other reading related journaling into these B6 and A5 notebooks. So yay for you Jessica, although Monica’s notebook is beautiful too 💛

I have shared this video with my dear friend, who is also a bibliophile, as she was mentioning just last night that she might take an old journal book and starts some form of a book journal. Due to her medical conditions, she is limited as to how much she can physically write or type, so the idea of printing stickers to decorate, or even to vocally dictate her personal notes on each book and print them out on label/sticker paper to put in a journal, is perfect for her. Thank you so much @Monica.Bibliophilebynight for allowing Jess to share you beautiful, in depth and inspiring journal!

I have a question for Monica. so if you're reading a book and it spans two months, in which month do you record it in? the month when you started it, or the month when you finished it? or do you start 'new' every 1st of the month? and make sure you finish everything ay the last day of the month?
