Honestly: I didn't exactly know what to expect. Of course I'd seen the photos online and read the description. But still... I've read hundreds of books in my life and never thought about journaling about them. The sheer joy I'm experiencing using this journal is insane! The fact that - as the journal itself explains - I can choose which parts I want to use and which I can skip (without feeling bad about it) is exactly what I needed. And the sheer beauty of the book and the quirky, fun details inside... it's just a dream for every book lover.
Quite possibly the best item I have ever bought.. I am obsessed with my journal. It has bought back the joy of book reviews for me. I love holding it, writing in it and reading it. Its so well thought out and the quality is unbelievable. Well worth the money!!
Gorgeous book with a lot of content to fill. Only downside was the packaging it came in was so extremely tight and sealed, I literally couldn't open the box and had to resort to box cutters to try and tear it apart, which ended up damaging the front cover a bit
LOVE this journal! Of all the reading journals I’ve had this is by far the most user friendly and productive one I’ve had. When it’s full I will be buying again and will be ordering as gifts. Love it!
I never leave reviews BUT this reading journal is amazing! I have a love/ hate relationship with journaling. I like filling it out but thinking of what the pages will be is hard for me.
I enjoy the blank pages where I added some fun ideas. Basically, this book did most the work for me all I have to do is fill out the details. LOVE
Obsessed with this stunning reading journal. I tried finding anything that came close to this in the states but absolutely nothing compared to this piece of perfection- Quirky Cup thought of everything when it came to this journal!
Absolutely love the detail on the cover. So obsessed!! 😍 I'm really loving how much is in the journal and just how many pages there are for writing/journaling. I especially love the added blank pages at the end of the journal that's dedicated for whatever: thoughts, notes, etc. I have a tendency to write a lot so this is very helpful for me. I've already started using it and I'm sure I'll continue as a part of my reading. 🥰
Absolutely love this reading journal, I recently got back into reading and this has everything I need to track my reading journey and it looks soo pretty on my shelf!
Omg, this reading journal is divine! 🤩 It is pure LUXURY! It is slightly soft to the touch like suede, and with those gilded pages and that weighty feel, wow! This journal is of the highest quality, like literally I haven't ever seen one this beautiful. Everyone I've shown it is blown away and asks where I got! It was totally worth paying the shipping to the US and feels so darn satisfying to check off every reading day and fill in my thoughts while I read! My only tiny qualms are that the gold lettering on front is an outline rather than filled so it is a little hard to read, and the TBR section is a little small to fit the book title and author name in. But I do write pretty big! 😅 1000% worth it!
I’ve been looking for the perfect reading journal for years. Literally years. Nothing I saw had everything in it I wanted, or they felt/looked cheap and tacky. These reading journals are literally perfect - designed impeccably inside and out and they feel so luxurious and expensive. Now I’ve finally found the most perfect reading journal I can’t ever see me being without one now!
I love reading, and finding this journal made me so happy. It’s pretty, it’s smart and it makes me connect with books on deeper level. I’m more focused on characters, on the story and I’m choosing better books so I don’t waste precious space for some quick reads.
I absolutely LOVE my reading journal! It has been so fun cataloging my reading and making essentially scrapbook pages out of my full review pages dedicated to my finished book. Its so relaxing and fulfilling to see my progress in book form!
This is seriously the most beautiful journal I’ve ever seen. I love all the prompts inside for reading. I’ve never used a reading journal before and I am really excited to use this!
The reading journal is worth every penny! The cover and pages are very high quality. The cover is a soft leather material and the foiling is gorgeous! I love all of the different spreads inside the journal too, there is room for 60 long form reviews. I will not hesitate to buy again once I fill this one up. I ended up getting my two besties each one for Christmas as well and they are equally obsessed.
Shipping was super affordable and pretty quick from Aus to Canada, I was really impressed with that!
Absolutely gorgeous and that is a severe understatement. I have never owned anything so beautiful!! It’s chock full with prompts, challenges and also plenty of space for my own ramblings; I love how customisable it is. It’s really motivated me to spend less time away from my screens and read even more than I already do. I’m really looking forward to filling out every. single. page. and I’m already considering buying another!
Oh my goodness! This reading journal is SO much more beautiful in person. The photos on the website just do not do it justice. The quality is outstanding. I can't wait to fill it with all my books!!
I love it!🥰 I wanted it for a long time but was unsure because of the price of the shipping to my country. So I made my own reading journal but it was too difficult to keep it up, I needed to do all the spreads from scratch. So I decided to finally order it for the new year.
The reading journal is very beautiful. It’s a perfect shade for violet. The foiling reflects light and gives it a magical feeling. Paper is nice. The dots aren’t too big, good size.
The reviews layout inside is updated and is very good. I also liked statistics and awards pages. I’ll definitely use favourite quotes space. In challenges I’d like a bit more space to fit alphabet challenge, but it’s possible to write it at the back on the blank pages. Also space in the everyday tracking pages is a bit too small if I want to track multiple books progress. I like the colour-in illustrations. I also think that book releases pages are very useful. I don't borrow books to others so I’m thinking to use the library card as a log of the books I no longer want that I sell online. I’d love some sort of financial tracking of the books I bought and how much they costed. But I use an app for now.
At first I wasn’t sure what layout of the reviews inside is going to be, because comparison table doesn’t specify that. But I was pleasantly surprised that it was updated to be like in Sugar and Spice journal.
Overall it’s very good. I really like using it☺️
Bought a reading journal for my daughter's birthday, and then had to buy one for myself. So happy. Already making me more thoughtful in my reading. So excited about being able to share my reading journey.
I love it. It’s so pretty and I love how much space is inside. As you can see it’s cat approved. The only “problem” is I want to use it immediately but I still have room in my other boring and ugly reading journal.
Such a beautiful journal it’s so nice I almost don’t want to use it (almost!)
I’m saving it for the new year for 2026 reading journey and I’m so excited for it!
Absolutely loving this beautiful journal! I have begun filling in the data, and am waiting for more craft supplies to arrive so I can start personalizing each page. I can't wait. 🥰 There will always be some aspects with pre-printed reading journals that don't work with every person's reading habits (that would be impossible to achieve lol) but all it takes is some washi tape and stamps to get creative and repurpose any pages or columns that I may prefer to use for different information. It has all the bones I needed to get started on my reading journal journey! 😉👌
It came so much faster than I expected and is even more beautiful in person. I love how many pages are available for long reviews and I think having this reading journal will also motivate me to read more consistently. Thoroughly pleased with my purchase!
I’m in awe!!! The color is so pretty and the design is just perfect for nerds like me! Can’t wait to use it and see more designs from Quirky team! And ofcourse buy them shamelessly!!
This was my gift to myself for Christmas’22 and again for Christmas’25. I loved my wisteria reading journal so much. It motivated me to read more due to tracking my daily reading and recording and reviewing books read.
50 in ‘23, 80 in ‘24, on book 67 for ‘25.
So neat and organized I'm loving it already! Have already wrote down upcoming released and just dated my current book I just started. A literal dream come true honestly!
It was worth the wait! It didn’t even take long to be delivered and I am so happy that I didn’t just buy the options off of Amazon! This is so much better and even cuter in person! I love the details on the book and tell they took their time into crafting it! I WILL be buying more once this is finished! It will look so cute in our library!!!
I purchased my first reading journal from The Quirky Cup Collective, and I was immediately impressed—it exceeded my expectations in every way. Since then, I’ve placed three more orders and even found myself on TikTok watching others rave about their products! The designs are stunning, the quality is outstanding, and I genuinely can’t wait for out-of-stock items to be restocked so I can grab more. This is by far one of the best-quality brands I’ve come across in a long time!
Each journal features a stunning cover with intricate foil detailing that would make even the stars go blind. The magic-filled 120GSM pages invite you to explore and discover a new kind of reading experience.
