Book Journal 2020. {Set-Up and Decor.}

Hello! 

I recently, well a couple of weeks ago, finally set up my Book Journal for 2020. I've been using the same notebook, from Rifle Paper Co since 2018 and now it will house 3 years worth of book reviews and musings and thoughts and lists of books to get and books I didn't finish. In short, the very essence of my bookish life lives in this notebook. I've had a Book Journal since 2012. Before that I used whichever planner I was using as a means of keeping tab on my reading but let me tell you, having a specific place for all my book related things to be in has been a a life changer. Not to mention it's took to have a place to go look back at my year's reading. 

So let's see how I went about setting my Book Journal for 2020. 
I set this journal using the limited amount of supplies I had carried with me on my holiday. But I still think it's turned out pretty good!

A cozy chair to read on. 
A stack of books! 

All of these little stickers are from The Planner Society Kit. 


My Bookish Life. 



The supplies I used. 
Sticker sheets from Planner Society. 
Girl stickers from BonBon Stickers. 



To differentiate between the last year and this I used this postcard from Hastnirmit that she sent across as a freebie with a bunch of bookmarks I had ordered. 
It's a perfect mood for my book journal. 


Monthly pages. 


Reading Resolutions. 
&
20 Books I want to Read in 2020. 


I am still working on this list. 


Some months when I can be bothered to make a TBR, I make one and then I start writing about the books I've read and how I feel about them. 

I also have a running list of books I want to buy and a list of books I DNF-ed through the year. 
Basically anything book related ends up here. 
Do you have a book journal?

Book Review: The Room on the Roof by Ruskin Bond.

Some snippets of the stunning art inside the book!  Book: The Room on the Roof Author: Ruskin Bond Illustrator: Ahlawat Gunjan Pages: 171 Read On: Hardback How Long It Took Me To Read: 3 days or so. Plot Summary:   Rusty, a sixteen-year-old Anglo-Indian boy, is orphaned and has to live with his English guardian in the claustrophobic European part in Dehra Dun. Unhappy with the strict ways of his guardian, Rusty runs away from home to live with his Indian friends. Plunging for the first time into the dream-bright world of the bazaar, Hindu festivals and other aspects of Indian life, Rusty is enchanted … and is lost forever to the prim proprieties of the European community.  General Thoughts: This book is super special. Not only this 60th anniversary edition an absolute beauty. This is also a signed copy I picked up from Mussoorie when I was in Landour earlier in the year. This is perhaps one of Ruskin Bond's mo...

Review: Grandma's Bag of Stories by Sudha Murthy.

Book: Grandma's Bag of Stories Author: Sudha Murthy Pages: 176 Read On: Paperback How Long It Took Me Read: 2 hours Plot Summary:   When Grandma opens her bag of stories, everyone gathers Around. Who can resist a good story, especially when it’s being told by Grandma? From her bag emerges tales of kings and cheats, monkeys and mice, bears and gods. Here comes the bear who ate some really bad dessert and got very angry; a lazy man who would not put out a fire till it reached his beard; a princess who got turned into an onion; a queen who discovered silk, and many more weird and wonderful people and animals. Grandma tells the stories over long summer days and nights, as seven children enjoy life in her little town. The stories entertain, educate and provide hours of enjoyment to them. So come, why don’t you too join in the fun? General Thoughts: I've read quite a few Sudha Murthy books this year and really enjoyed them. I find them soothing, simple a...
