2024 reading journal set up

Jennifer Brooks 2023-12-28 | Not me only now seeing I misspelled “anticipated reads.”

I was so excited to finally set up a reading journal for the new year. I’ve had book journals in the past but they’ve always been more functional and had less deco. I went for the favored bullet journal style so I hope I enjoy it.
