I tried to fill out my Quirky Collective reading journal… and let’s just say it did NOT go as planned 😅📚 In today’s video, I’m doing a full flip through of my partially completed reading journal, sharing what I filled in, what I skipped, and why I ultimately failed at finishing it.
If you love reading journals, book tracking and realistic reading content, you’ll definitely enjoy this honest look at my journaling experience. I talk about the layouts, prompts, tracking pages, reviews, and what I learned from trying to keep up with this journal.
Let me know in the comments:
👉 Have you ever failed a reading journal?
👉 Would you try the Quirky Collective journal?

Hi! My name is Melina and I am a 31 year old girl from the NJ, USA who loves talking about books! From YA to thrillers/mysteries to romance, I read it all (although fantasy will always be my fave).
