    Love that you wanted to stay true to your true favorites instead of sticking to month by month!

    I love these videos - they are basically half an hour of Elizabeth saying "it's so hard" with lots of good reading suggestions :D

    The book bracket is such a struggle! I'm wondering if for you a Book Matrix would not be easier :D It's a variation of Priotization Matrix.

    I always look forward to this video from you! I added this spread to my journal for the first time for 2023 fully inspired by you - I love it! My personal boty was Tomorrow x3 🤗

    I feel like this book bracket was more "organic" given you wanted to include your yearly favourite.

    such a neat idea! fun to see your "top books" broken down in this kind of way. thanks for sharing

    I love this spread idea and discussion! I maintain my bracket throughout the year and reevaluate at the end. Also- I sometimes choose 4 star reads as my winner because I loved them even if I can tell they’re flawed

    I’m weirdly proud of you for making it through this video. I’ve watched all of your book brackets and I know how difficult these are for you

    I agree with not being stringent about choosing one book per month in yearly brackets. I pick top twelve overall & work down from there. You were the one to introduce this spread, & it’s definitely among my favorite part of my bullet/reading journal! My top read for 2023 was Cloud Cuckoo Land (also recommended by you!)

    This was so comforting to listen to while setting up my bullet journal! I may have to pick up Monstrilio this spooky season! 😊

    I admired how you made each of your selections. No fluff, just authenticity to YOURSELF. A personal genuine and instinctive way to decide. Great job…I feel like I benefited from your process. Great job, great book tuber. 👀💖🤗🥳😉🌷⭐️

    "Monstrilio" has been on my TBR since your video where you mentioned it first. I'm going to read it this year! Thank you for your great videos! Wishing you a happy new year and sending you much love and creative vibes <3

    I love this spread and have added it to my reading journal for the last couple years. I do find that last year I changed the pairs to mix it up Jan v. Jul, Feb v Aug, Mar v sep, Apr v Oct, May v Nov, and Jun v Dec.

    Happy new year Elizabeth! This is very brave of you, I don’t know if I could pick a favourite favourite 😅

    Always love your videos!! ❤ Can't wait to see your Notion book tracking video, I've had that app for months and still haven't used it. 😅

  • @Shaegeeksout
    @Shaegeeksout

    Your dilemma about picking a monthly favorite is why I don't do a bracket!😂 Thanks for sharing your process, and can't wait to see your notion setup!!

    I've been on a reading rut for a while. But the entusiasm in your book reviews always sparks a little my interest in going back into reading mode.

    I love the book bracket videos! I created the first spreads of my first reading journal recently and my favorite one was the book bracket spread. I’m so excited to fill it out in a year’s time. You’ve inspired me to get out of my reading slump and create a reading journal of my own and I’m really excited about it!
