June books & journaling #1

In June, I really embraced combining my love for reading with a creative approach to journaling by starting a scrapbook-inspired digital book journal. Using digital tools has transformed the way I keep track of the books I’ve read and my thoughts about them. For example, I borrowed thrilling novels like 'Her Last Breath' by Taylor Adams and contemplative reads such as 'If Cats Disappeared from the World' by Genki Kawamura through popular platforms like Libby and Kindle Unlimited. These apps made accessing a broad range of genres so convenient. What I love about digital book journaling is the flexibility it offers. Instead of just listing the titles, the scrapbook style lets me include images, quotes, and my personal reflections in a visually engaging way. This practice not only deepens my connection to the stories but also motivates me to read more consistently. Since many books I tackle are contemporary thrillers or emotionally rich stories, adding digital notes about character development or plot twists helps me remember key details and enhances discussions with fellow readers. If you’re thinking of starting your own digital book journal, I recommend beginning with apps that allow you to combine photos, text, and drawings easily. Incorporating hashtags like #bookjournaling and #digitalbookjournal can also connect you with others who share similar passions, providing inspiration and community support. Through digital journaling, I found a rewarding way to cherish my reading goals each month while unleashing creativity beyond traditional note-taking.
