Tried Filling a Quirky Collective Reading Journal… and Failed 😅📚 | Full Flip Through *bookmas day 5*

Melina Elisa 2025-12-16 | 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?

Melina Elisa 2025-12-14 | Happy bookmas day 3 guys! It’s finally time for my end of the year book unhaul!

The Joy of Speed-Reading a Popcorn Fantasy Series!

Melina Elisa 2025-10-30 | The Joy of Speed-Reading a Popcorn Fantasy Series! While I would never put the phrases Powerless & groundbreaking in the same sentence, I definitely enjoyed most of the series for what it was. At times poor writing, but overall a popcorn series. Predictable, fun, and fast paced.

A Palate Cleansing Fantasy Series

Melina Elisa 2025-10-28 | While the Powerless series by Lauren Roberts isn't close to being my favorite series, after a book slump it was a palate cleansing fantasy series. Simple to understand and quick paced most of the time.

An overall 3.25 - 3.5 ⭐series
