Welcome to Litsy!

Finished up 2023 with 36 books, 6 more than I had planned. Very happy considering I had a reading slump that lasted almost 2 months. Will I dare to aim for 40 books with a toddler?

My main target this year is to reduce my TBR list, I bought too many books last year because of the closure of book depository and now that it's so close to the 100s I feel guilty while still wanting to buy more books. Any ideas to inspire me to tackle my TBRs?

A bit of an eclectic reading pile for #JoyousJanuary hosted by @Andrew65
I also have reams of notes on my challenges to kick-start my book journal.
Here's hoping for a productive week!!

Finally getting round to writing in the Moleskine book journal that was my Christmas present to myself

I‘ve now kept book journals for two years (on left: black-2019; blue-2020) so now I‘m hooked. So yesterday buying books for my swap recipients, I splurged and bought my book journal for 2021. I wish it weren‘t identical to 2020. It will be hard to tell them apart. Oh well.

Filling up my book journal little by little

Oh boy. There goes all my money. 😂😅

Every time i come to Litsy, I wind up at the bookstore buying books for my never ending TBR list. Figure I‘d get book journal too. I never write down what i‘ve read just star it on Goodreads and move on. Maybe this thing will help my bookish memory. #bookjournal #moleskine

New Year, new book journal!

Look what I got from my in-laws in Norway! It‘s as awesome as it looks. I will start January 2019 recording books in here. I can‘t wait! ❤️❤️❤️

And here‘s my layout for this year‘s other reading challenge. I‘m not the fanciest at this #bujo malarkey yet, but I‘m working on it! #journalling #popsugar #readingchallenge

I'm thinking about starting a physical journal to complement my reading log (mostly analytical data: pages read, total books, diversity of authors etc.) I don't actually keep track of my personal thoughts or great quotes or even new words I come across.
So littens, how do I get started? What do you find are the best pieces of info to include in a book journal? What's your favourite kind of journal to use? Im looking for all the advice/suggestions

Late to the party. I tried to locate them all, but I have journals scattered around the house and in my office. The 2 journals in the foreground began in 2005 and are a list of books I've read or wanted to read #BookJournals #Riotgrams #IDontHaveAJournalObsession

Who likes #Moleskine? If you visit NYC, there's a shop on the second floor of the Time Warner Building. 😊

I decided to keep a book journal next year to keep track of what I read, and quotes with ducks in it🐣
Would anyone of you read an ongoing series #duckquotes posts , where I post random quotes about ducks in (mostly) fantasy books?

The journal looks really cool and because of the alphabet tabs I must soon decide for the #LitsyAtoZ reading challenge.

I used to buy this book journal but found it not large enough to document all the books I would read in a year. I did love the layout though. I've had to buy regular Moleskine journals to keep track of what I've read.... Only been doing it 6 years. Wish I had started doing this when I was young.
