When the book is picked, I’m moving on to my next bullet journal book page.Ī Reading Tracker page is my most visited page of the entire bullet journal book set. Well, I like to mix the genres and the length of the books I read, just to make it more interesting and easier to “digest”, if you get what I’m trying to explain. Periodically, a few times throughout the year, I shop for books from this list until I have all the titles I wanted.Īpart from being my book wishlist, a Books To Read page is also the one I like to start from when deciding what I’ll read next. □Īlthough I do like to start the year with this page already filled out, I don’t have all the books from the list within my reach at the beginning of the year. These extras help me when planning the purchase. On top of writing the title of the book, here I also like to note the book’s length, the bookstore where I can get it, and the price. ( every now and then I do sneak in a book or a few that don’t belong to these genres, but mostly these three-or four- are the ones that interest me the most) My choice of topics are fantasy/thriller, personal development, and biography. This way I can place books according to genres – one shelf for each, which, as you will later on see, makes choosing which book to read much easier. I’ll even let you out a secret why I keep the same style of this page for so long! □ Right from the start, this was the design I made in my bullet journal, and it’s the same design I use ever since. I like this page to be designed as a bookshelf, with three shelves on a page. If you are a bookworm, a casual reader, or even if you’ve just decided to resurrect your reading days ( just like I did a few years ago □ ), these book-inspired pages should absolutely be a part of your bullet journal or planner.Įvery book lover needs to have a place to write down his/her book wishlist – and the Books To Read page is perfect for that purpose. ( and if by any chance you still haven’t given bullet journaling a try, you totally should! have a look at how to start a bullet journal and see how easy it is) Since you know yourself the best, pick a “reading goal” that seems the best for your current lifestyle and – enjoy your readings!īut, let’s get back to the point of this post – bullet journal must-have book pages. Of course, how many books I read in a month does depend on the length of the book, but either way it averages down to one per month. The truth is, I did set a goal this year to read two books per month, but honestly – it’s not working out as well, so I guess my schedule and energy level, for the time being, don’t allow for such pleasure yet. Needless to say, I haven’t changed that dynamic even after a few years have passed? That’s the frequency that seemed reasonably realistic to accomplish, and so far it works well for me. So I’ve chosen to set a goal of reading one book per month. ( yes, a bit ironic – another list! □ but this is the one I look forward to!) So, on top of some other things I decided to work on and make them a habit, reading books was also on the list. ( this might be even more important in my case since I’m the only parent!) If nothing else, being a happier and more satisfied mom will mean more to my kids than trying to accomplish everything on my never-ending to-do list. Yes, you could say that was the moment of revelation when I made my mind to get better at self-care, not just for my own wellbeing, but for the people that surround me as well. If you ask me – I love reading books, I always did, but over time, as the rush of “adult life” got more and more intense, I read way less than I used to.Īnd then one day ( I believe it was about the New Year resolution time a few years ago) I finally decided to get serious and make time for things I love, no matter how busy the days might be. It’s summertime, the time when we all read books at least a bit more than usual, and therefore – it’s the perfect timing to combine your love for reading and bullet journaling. ( in crazy case you’re not, I believe this post will convince you to become both! □ ) Are you a bullet journal fan that also loves reading a good book?
