    I’m so glad you didn’t go for a sepia/brown color scheme! That does seem to be the color of choice for most reading journal setups I see now, and while I understand why, for those of us who enjoy color, it’s a little monotonous. It’s great to have a setup that uses colorful elements for inspiration!
  • @WifeMomGym
    That Dutch door page changed my life! I love the fantasy theme!! 😍
  • @shanaygertze
    Hey Erin. I have been reading my whole life. I clock 80 to 100ish books a year. Never thought of starting a reading journal. As a 36 year old woman, mum and wife. It just never appealed to me. Until you! What a joy to reflect and live a little longer in worlds we read. So I just wanted to say thank you. You are my inspiration to start this journey. I now have a monthly list of reads and a "maybe next" list and stationary! I love this video. Sending appreciation from Cape Town. Shanay❤
  • @BreezyRenee333
    I've never done a bujo before, but I want to crawl into yours and live there 😭😭
  • @makayla9837
    CAWPILE was originally created by G from Bookroast here on YouTube. Your spreads are beautiful!
  • @midnightglow104
    PLEASE you deserve so much more recognition! when i saw your sub count it doesnt match how perfect your audio, cam quality and art is subscribed straight away. Im gonna start a cottage-core/romtasy theme for my 1st official reading/free writing journal. Thanks for the inspo and thank you for coming up on my rec :virtualhug:i just got back into reading after 4years (im also reading ACOTAR):virtualhug:
  • @koibarnes6314
    The Maybe Next spread is an awesome idea. I totally get that being a mood reader myself
  • @cassettetape7643
    I cannot express how much I wish I had a stationary collection like yours😍. This set up is extremely inspiring. And I'm always so grateful you link as many products as you can❤💕✨️ Also, love the 🎶 too😊
  • @bruthing
    I’m going to start a reading journal in 2024 for the first time! I’m very excited 🥰
  • @My.Curiosities
    I love the fairy tale atmosphere of your journal! And those letter stickers are very pretty. Curious to see your updates to this journal :)
  • @_daniela_s
    Love the fantasy theme! The book bracket spread might be the one by Plant Based Bride 😊
  • @KerryWhitbread
    I refer to my "maybe next" as "in the wings" and plan on writing the name of the book on washi tape in a B6 pencil. The tape allows me to remove it or move it around as needed. My TBR is more a wishlist... it has book recommendations for the most part.
  • @nicki3154
    I love your ideas for your journal and reading journal. 😍 The Fantasy vibe with the green colour creates such a well-balanced design🧚‍♀️ My most anticipated read for 2024 is Crescent City 3. But I'm also kind of nervous about it. 😅
  • @tiangel33
    Your journal is absolutely beautiful 😍 ❤. Definitely giving me some ideas for my own reading journal....thank you for the inspiration ✨️ ❤❤
  • @rose.moore7
    I loved the combination of colors with the gold! And your journal made me want to make one for myself😍
