Reading Journal Vs. Reading Companion

The Reading Companion is its laid back counterpart that's perfect for more casual readers, or acts as a seamless extension to your Reading Journal if you require more space.

I love love love this reading journal. It looks and feels like absolute quality. There are so many sections in the book to keep track of absolutely everything I could think of and reflect on finished books. Personally I love the reading tracker to build up a good habit of reading every day. There's quite a lot of space in the book as well so I could see this lasting me a while and I would definitely get another when this one's full.
What a wonderful reading journal. I could not find anything that comes close to this one. Absolutely obsessed 😍 it came all the way from Australia to the UK in a relatively quick time. I have been receiving updates from the post office throughout the whole journey. Very happy.
I had been seeing the tiktoks and instagram reels and I was having major FOMO! thankful got this in the most recent sale and it is so much more beautiful than I expected. The quality is amazing, it feels luxurious and like such a special thing to own. The paper quality is impeccable. My one bit of feedback is the bookshelf spread some of the books are quite slim (too slim for me to write the title but maybe I just have clunky handwriting!) Would make a fantastic gift or a special treat for yourself!
The quality of the journal is superb, paper so good that pen doesn't show through to the other side. Love all the little images which I've been colouring along the way. Love that I can enjoy a good book for longer by filling in reviews etc.
I read a lot of Advance Reader Copies and books alike (over 100 books already this year) and I needed something to keep a track of my reviews and my thoughts! I came across the journal on Instagram and just knew it would be the perfect accessory!
I cannot stop using this journal and can confirm it has increased how much I'm reading! My goal was to read one book a month for 2026, however I've already finished two books in the week since getting my reading journal 🖤 I love that TBR and the wishlist are separated, I can have a special place for those purchased books to haunt me away from just what I'm looking to get. The quick reviews are fun, but it's the in-depth pages I love the most! After reading Japanese Gothic (pictured, SPOILERS), I didn't have anyone to talk to about it yet as I'd snatched it as soon as it was available on e-reader. Here I could write down all my thoughts and even my analysis of one aspect on the included blank pages so I didn't burst from the seams for lack of getting these thoughts out of my head! It lives on my nightstand now and every time I'm interacting with a book, the journal isn't far. You've got a repeat customer in me, as I'm getting one for my daughter and BFF!
I love the colour and the quality.
The only thing I think could be done better is to have a medium option for reviews. The 4 page full reviews are great, but I feel like a 1/2 page or even a 1/3 page review space would be great so I could write a mini paragraph about the books I've read.
The current quick review ones don't really allow for even a comment spot.
The package arrived fairly fast! It’s amazing quality. The hard cover with the leather and details felt expensive without actually having been expensive. It was completely worth the hype and money. I had been wanting to buy one for over a year and finally made the move and I’m so happy with my purchase!!
I have ordered many blank journals & love how they feel in my hands, as I write, reflect. I also have some book sleeves, pens .. I am addicted to everything I have ordered! The reading journal in Sage is just as beautiful & rich to hold, write, reflect .. it makes me want to read more so I can use the reading journal!! Highly recommended.
Absolutely love my reading journal, I enjoy writing as much as reading and having a place to store all of my “To be Reads”, thoughts, plans and reviews is a blessing. The Classic style in sage green is gorgeous to behold and the robust feel of the book itself is a testament to the quality. Definite recommendation.
Love this book for the most part, kinda sad I can’t use my highlighters as they leak through the pages & just this lil mishap with the glossary double up.
okay so let me completely honest with like every single person reading this review
when i first saw this come on instagram my first thought was to just like ignore it. i've already spent so much money on buying notebook or book trackers for my books that I didn't want to buy like ANOTHER one all over again. i was super against the idea. but as fate had it, fell into the spiral yet again. but would you call it a spiral?
I immediately fell in LOVE with the sage green reading journal like, oh my gosh, it is my soulmate. not only is it so pretty, but just everything about it is so simple and easy to follow like it was such a breeze of fresh air!
everything about it is just like a dream come true and i've been using it so much to write my book reviews in it. i've become a true book critic due to the reading journal and to be honest it so pulled me out of my reading slump i was experiencing too.
100/10 worth it. do yourself a favour, girl. buy it.. i know you've been ogling it. i did too... for 10 minutes straight🙈
I have all of the reading journals and I have separated them via theme and I LOVE having them! Especially when I have people asking me for recommendations!
I really love the journals.
I wish the DNF section was a few more pages as I go through a lot of books sometimes (or try to)!
Some of the pages I don’t think I’ll use but overall I love them.
I love this book journal so much and am so excited to use it! I also had an issue with the address being wrong and the QCC team was super responsive and made sure everything was fixed and got to me in a timely fashion!
I absolutely LOVE this sage literati range. I bought the clingy, reading journal and kindle pouch, and just recently ordered most of the rest. Including the kindle insert, pen, and book sleeve. To be honest I'm probably not done. I'll likely get the rest eventually.
I don’t know why I ever thought it was okay to not record my reading! I am can’t believe i didn’t know these existed and I can’t believe no one in my life ever bought one for me! Reading (and writing at reading): autistic special interest no.2)
What joy I have ahead of me.
Love this reading journal, it looks gorgeous and of good quality as well as having plenty of space with different sections for reviewing and keeping track of books
