2026 Reading Journal Set-Up | embracing maximalism 🌿

Welcome to Cozy Journal Nook 🌻

I can’t believe we are at the time of the year where new reading journals are being set up!

This year I decided to lean on the greenery theme and embrace maximalism. Reading journals are very personal but this one has to be my favourite so far. I LOVE IT. I had so much fun planning and setting up all these pages (even editing the 13+ hours of footage to under an hour long video was joyful!).

Have you set up your reading journal for 2026? Do we have similar layouts?

I can’t wait to share the final flip-through with you at the beginning of January.
