The most beautiful reading journal, am completely obsessed. Delivery was quick and easy. No hassle with it coming from Australia. Will absolutely be ordering more! Thank you so much 🩷

10/10 amazing perfect beautiful

This journal is STUNNING!! Even more beautiful in person!! I totally lusted over this journal for like 2 months and finally I decided to go for it. I love reading so much, and I wanted something as equally beautiful to keep track of my favorite hobby. If I’m honest the price kept me holding out not because it was ridiculously expensive, but with me being in the U.S. the shipping and fees added on top of it, I didn’t think I wanted to spend that much. But it was totally worth it! The quality is amazing and there is so much to track and it’s a 3 year journal so when you think of it the price wasn’t bad at all!! I am so happy with my journal!!

I love the design and the colours of the book. There are loads of sections, but, and this is why I gave it 4 stars, there are too many sections. 1. I like the bookshelf pages, I've covered the pages in print outs of my book covers. 2. Reading goals & to do list - I have no use for this section so all pages are blank. 3. Reading tracker - there are some ticks but I haven't been on the ball so really, they're wasted pages too. 4. Reading challenges - haven't used this section, so more wasted pages. 5. To be read - written all my books here, it's handy because I can circle what I've 'read'. 6. Wishlist - not used this section. 7. Quick reviews - filling up well, I love this section :) 8. Reviews & reflections - so far I've written in all my books, but tbh, I struggle with writing, so some of the boxes are blank. I don't fill in the 3 sections on the bottom of the Title page. Why is there 2 favourite character boxes? One should be 'the best villian', or something like that. This section could be cut down by a page. 9. Reading statistics - I like this section, I had fun writing my stats at New Year. 10. Book Awards - again, enjoyed this section, writing down my Audible stats blew my mind! 11, 12 & 13. Quotes, library card and blank space - no uses for these pages so I've been using them to do scrapbook/junk journal spreads. All in all, it's a good journal, but as detailed above, just too many sections for me. Sydonie, have you thought about a journal for audio books only? That's how my 'reading' is done, as I travel a lot and listen to books at the gym rather than music (which bores me).

The prettiest reading journal I will ever own. I love it so much! The tools inside are very helpful for tracking everything associated with reading.

Maggie B. 5/5 Verified May 29, 2026

Absolutely worth the wait, stunning journal and plenty of pages

Holly H. 5/5 Verified May 26, 2026

literally just one of the best things i’ve dropped my money on. it’s so thorough and lets me really reflect on the books i’m reading. ever since i got it, i’ve been writing in it nonstop, and it’s really brought back my love for reading, and brought me out of my reading slump. the pages are lovely, the embossed cover art, and all the other little details makes this truly phenomenal. that, and the reading companion is THE best duo ever for heavy readers.

“talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show stopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique, completely not ever been done before” – I love it!!

Jodila L. 5/5 Verified January 15, 2026

The journal is beautiful, and I love how well-thought-out the layout is. The paper quality is great, and I love the addition of colouring pages. 10/10 first impression. However, I started using it, and I noticed one flaw: the black ink on the covers smudges really badly. If I touch it with my fingers (which, obviously, I do), it will stay on my finger and stain the pages, and whatever else I touch. It's not a huge deal, but I like using my stuff gently, and now I have a few fingerprints inside, which I made before I realized this. I don't think it's an issue with my hands being particularly sweaty. They are quite regular in that regard. The ink comes off easily from the covers, though. Other than that, I absolutely love it.

Joanna R. 4/5 Verified January 13, 2026

This is the book journal of my dreams! I’m in love with the beautiful hard cover and I’m obsessed with how organized it is on the inside! The coloring pages are unique and fun. I like the to do lists/goals to challenge me and add something new to my yearly reading. The different lists, reviews, statistics, library card etc is a book worms dream come true! So happy💗

Amanda V. 5/5 Verified January 11, 2026

My mam got me this for christmas and Im literally obsessed!! It’s so pretty and has so many different pages to fill - really connects you with the books you’ve read and pushes you to think deeper about them💖

Cara O. 5/5 January 8, 2026

Absolutely love my reading journal 😍 I love the design and haven't seen anything like it before, just beautiful! Waiting for the book sleeve to be back in stock so I can order. Delivery from Australia to the UK was 17 days I think which is relatively quick seen as I ordered between their birthday sale and Christmas. Very happy thank you.

Sinead G. 5/5 Verified January 7, 2026

I LOOOVE THIS JOURNAL!!!! This helped me keep track of my tbr, wishlist, books that I have already read. I do wanna get a sticker printer so I can print the covers to stick in this journal!!! 😍😍😍

Jennifer G. 5/5 Verified January 5, 2026

¡Ha superado todas mis expectativas! Me encanta, es súper completo, está todo pensadísimo y ahora quiero leer más para registrar mis lecturas. Un súper acierto.

Candela N. 5/5 Verified January 5, 2026

This is the most beautiful journal I’ve ever purchased in my life… I am obsessed with it! I cannot wait to start journaling about the books I read and I hope I can keep up with it. The pages are thick enough that pens and markers do not go through them and the layout is absolutely beautiful. Hopefully it will last me a couple years and then I’ll buy another one ❤️

Laura K. 5/5 Verified January 2, 2026

I'm so excited to start using my reading journal, it so pretty! 2025 wasn't the best reading year for me so I'm looking forward to using the reading tracker to encourage me to read more, even if I only get 1 page in some days!

Hayley R. 5/5 Verified January 2, 2026

It took a month to get it but it was worth the wait! It has everything I want in a reading journal, plus some room to make it my own. My only gripe is that the red on the heart and on the decals of the cover, is easily scratched. I put it in my purse (in a separate pocket by itself) and when I grabbed it out there was a scratch. And it’s only gotten worse since. I have included a picture… Overall, I love it and can’t wait to review all of the books!

Samantha B. 4/5 Verified December 31, 2025

It's even better in person than seeing the photos online! This is one date that won't catfish you. ;) I couldn't stop staring at the beautiful foil detailing, the shiny page edges, and then I flipped through all the pages to see all the different sections. I'm so excited to journal in it, because the reading log pages are WAY more interactive than my current reading journal (don't worry current reading journal, you're still special. You introduced me to a world of reading journals). Definitely a journal for the maximalists, the yappers, and those who love shiny things.

Aimee J. 5/5 Verified December 16, 2025

The reading journal is absolutely gorgeous! What a pleasure to see and to use.

Bonnie D. 5/5 Verified December 5, 2025

I love the excellent paper quality and the color dipped paper edges. Thanks!

Vicki D. 5/5 Verified November 23, 2025

Absolutely beautiful, quality, thought behind every aspect of the design inside and out! Worth every $ and one of my favourite purchases of all time!!

Natasha S. 5/5 Verified November 20, 2025

Il est magnifique !!! j'ai vraiment hâte de le commencer en janvier 2026

Lou-anne T. 5/5 Verified November 12, 2025

This journal is gorgeous. Everything is well thought out and there are plenty of pages in every section so that you can have up to 3 years of reviews and things. Its so pretty and the paper is a dream. I love it.

Victoria N. 5/5 Verified November 9, 2025

Honestly I wasn't sure how much id like this, however..... IT IS STUNNING! you know how most things you see on social media are always enhanced and look better online than they do in person well this is the complete opposite, this reading journal looks even better in person ,its so beautiful and so feminine and I Honestly can't get enough of it, I will 10000% be buying more when I need it!

Haylee L. 5/5 Verified November 3, 2025

Its a gorgeous design and a lot of super fun things to dive into, that I hadn’t thought of. Really inspires me to read more, so I can journal more hehe. If I had to point anything negative out it would be that the journal is clearly targeted towards fiction books, which isn’t usually what I read. But it was still very useable for my non fiction books.

Stina H. 5/5 Verified November 2, 2025

Amazing paper quality! Cant wait to fill it all up!!

Victoria D. 5/5 Verified October 23, 2025

I love it. And i love the changes. I had missed the first printing but got it this time 😉

Diba S. 5/5 Verified October 3, 2025

First of all: I am so happy that you ship internationally! The reading journal arrived safely to the Netherlands, and rather quickly too! I was so excited to receive it, I kept watching all the instagram videos about the reading journal while I waited for mine to arrive. In real life the journal is even more pretty. To me this journal is PERFECT. It has a lot of pages, and each section is very detailed, so you can fully review your books. The material is sturdy, the paper has a good quality (so no bleeding through with certain pens) and even though the journal is thick, it still lays flat when you open it, no matter what page. That is a HUGE plus. And of course, the design... I love it! the perfect shade of pink with shiny red details, it is so cute! I alsof love the shiny pink/red edges of the pages. It makes the exterior look even more pretty. So, THANK YOU for creating this beautiful and perfect reading journal, it is exactly what I was hoping for.

Dpre Z. 5/5 Verified October 1, 2025

I'm so excited to use these!! I'm an avid reader and journaler, but I have never done a book journal before! As a beginner, I'm not very familiar with the symbols, I think it's maybe Hardcover, Paperback, Digital, and Audio? Any tips would be much appreciated.

Melissa T. 5/5 September 18, 2025

🥰

Liz L. 5/5 Verified September 17, 2025

Im blown away by this reading journey. Its exactly what I was hoping it would be an more. 100% would and will purchase more from Quirky!

Nikkie G. 5/5 Verified September 14, 2025

I love this reading journal so much. It is gorgeous. I love all the contents it has.

Renae Y. 5/5 Verified September 11, 2025

Loving the design, contents, and thickness of pages. However, top right hand corner of the cover is dented by the shipping. It was quite tightly packaged but despite the careful packaging, this journal arrived in non-tiptop condition which is a pity. However, I still love it because I can write tons of reading afterthoughts in it and it will last me at least a few years. Since this purchase I have bought some merchandise from QCC again… this time A LOT more stuff!!

Nerissa 5/5 September 11, 2025

have had a wonderful experience with the Quirky Cup Collective! I received several emails updating me about the process, and even more personalized emails from the owner and her team after purchasing what I got☺️! I absolutely adore the reading companion, it’s even more beautiful in person. I can’t wait to get started with my reading year and finally journal with it! Will definitely be buying from this small business again!

Morgan I. 4/5 February 28, 2025

The reading journal is beautiful and I’m loving keeping a diary of my reading experiences.

Charlene F. 5/5 Verified February 6, 2025

It's gorgeous!!!!!!!

Manpreet A K. 5/5 Verified February 5, 2025

This journal matches my exclusive editions perfectly, and I love the layout and design!

Emily S. 5/5 Verified February 5, 2025

I waited a bit to post this review because I wanted to use the reading journal for a month to fully experience it first. So without further ado, here it is! My favorites: 🌻 Sooo much space for the reading tracker, quick reviews, TBR, and wishlist. These are the pages I write in practically daily! 🌻 The bookshelf is such a fun tracker! I doodle the spines of the books I finish in here. My recommendations: 🌱 While I love the full reviews, I think it could be made even better if they were only 2 pages long for each book. I love the little prompts to help with the full review, but they do end up getting redundant. Might just be me, but I get a little overwhelmed with filling up 4 pages for a single book! Overall, I’m over the moon with this reading journal! I’m so happy that I get to spend 3 years with this beauty!

Jillan J. 5/5 Verified February 3, 2025

Amazing quality and so pretty! 😍 how many reading journals is too many 🤔
