Your Reading Journal Doesn’t Have to Be Boring
A traditional reading journal can help 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?
Reader’s Junk Journals let you create a reading journal that is:
- 📚 Practical enough to actually track your reading
- ✨ Beautiful enough to inspire you to keep using it
- 🖋️ Creative enough to make it uniquely yours
- 🧵 Flexible enough to become a reading journal, scrapbook, or junk journal
Mix and match the pages. Add your own ephemera, stickers, stamps, book quotes, photographs, notes, and other treasures.
There’s no “right” way to create your journal.
Turn Reading Pages Into Junk-Journal Magic
This isn’t just another plain reading journal.
The pages are designed with junk journaling in mind, so you can get creative with how you use them.
Layer pages with:
Book pages • Ephemera • Washi tape • Stamps • Stickers • Lace • Clippings • Pressed flowers • Book quotes • Library cards • Notes • Photographs
Create pockets and tuck spots.
Tear the edges.
Layer different papers.
Add your favorite bookish treasures.
Or keep things simple and elegant.
You decide what your reading journal becomes.

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!
