I’m really into seeing what kinds of things people are doing with their hands these days, and what kinds of small activities bring them joy and keep them grounded. This is one of mine.
I have been keeping a log of the books I’ve read for over 20 years now. It started in paper notebooks and at some point, I moved it to an Excel file with a tab for each year.
What am I doing with my hands? I’m a string player, viola and violin. I play for the choir at church, have a weekly lesson (as my teacher’s oldest student) and play in two orchestras. And I practice. Every day for 1 or 2 hours.
Love this! I recently switched from GoodReads to Library Thing to StoryGraph, and it’s not really working for me. I mostly just want to track my reading, not rank books. Also, that cat looks exactly like the late great Squeaker of the House, 1986-2006.
Love this! I just started using notebooks as a way to remember things, but also to keep my favorite quotes from books/movies/etc. Your pages are so cute! :D
I love this so much!! I would love to see every single page, but I'm very happy to see these ones. Have you read My Life with Bob? Bob stands for book of books and it's a memoir through the lens of her book of books, similar to yours! I also started one, inspired by a Book Riot article about simplifying/moving away from reading challenges and instead just writing down the date and what you read that day in a little notebook (mine looks shockingly just like yours). Of course, I ALSO track on Goodreads and Storygraph and also every night I'm like UGH I didn't write down what I read today, so.....we're all works in progress etc though! <3

I loved A Memory Called Empire! I really have to get on reading the second book. Glad to see you loved it!
This is pure joy, and I really needed it.
“Ask me about my cat” might just be my favorite sticker that I don’t (yet) own 😻
