Why reading junk journals?

Your reading journal doesn’t have to be boring

A traditional reading journal helps you keep track of what you read. A junk journal gives you a place to play, create, collect and express yourself. Why not have both?

Practical

Enough to actually track your reading: logs, reviews, wishlists and favorite quotes.

Beautiful

Enough to inspire you to keep coming back to it, book after book.

Creative

Enough to make it uniquely yours, whether you’re minimal or wonderfully extra.

Flexible

Enough to become a reading journal, a scrapbook or a junk journal. Mix and match the pages.

A little note before you go…

You don’t have to become a professional journaler. You don’t need perfect handwriting. You don’t need an elaborate craft room. You don’t even need to decorate every page.

Just start with the books you love. Then make your journal as simple, or as wonderfully extra, as you want.

Happy reading & happy journaling!Ash, Bookish Troves
