Quick Takeaways
The Reading Companion is a minimalist option that’s perfect for:
- Casual readers who want a straightforward place to log and plan books.
- An extension for avid readers who might breeze through the larger Reading Journals
- Those who prioritise a long TBR list over extensive stats or awards.
- A lightweight journalling experience with the essentials.
Sugar and Spice Reading Journal
Our Sugar and Spice Reading Journal is designed for:
- Avid readers who track detailed stats and enjoy reflective journalling.
- Those who love goal-oriented features like Reading Challenges and Book Awards.
- Readers who prefer long-term tracking (3 years) with room for creativity.
OG Reading Journal
The OG Reading Journal is a fan favourite for:
- It's beautiful covers, duh!
- Comprehensive features like Book Recommendations and Upcoming Releases, which offered extra layers of functionality.
- Slightly fewer review spaces but maintained a balanced approach to tracking and goal setting.
- A more structured take on organising your reading life.
Why Did We Update the OG Reading Journal?
Our Original Reading Journal format served many bookworms beautifully, but we wanted to enhance and refine the experience by:
- Simplifying the review spaces for those who enjoy diving into their thoughts on every read. This also means more review spaces have been added!
- Simplifying to focus on core features readers loved most, like Reading Challenges, Library Card, and Book Awards.
- Ensuring flexibility with customisable contents, giving you room to make it your own.
Which One is Right for You?
- Choose the Reading Companion if you want a compact and lightweight journal with plenty of space for planning your future reads.
- Go for the Sugar and Spice Reading Journal if you’re an organised bookworm looking for long-term tracking, challenges, and creative features.
- Miss the OG Reading Journal? Its features like Book Recommendations and Upcoming Releases are under consideration for future releases—stay tuned!
At the end of the day, the perfect reading journal is the one that suits you the best. Whether you’re jotting down a favourite quote, tracking reading stats, or simply listing your ever-growing TBR pile, we’ve got a journal that fits your style (well hopefully anyways!)

PS. If the new format of the Sugar & Spice Reading Journal is recieved well I will extend it to the future prints of the OG Reading Journals.
