I share little things I print out that amuse me but nothing of the actual text. Keeping that private is a mix of being self conscious and wanting to keep the depths of my weirdness to myself; I feel like I’d have to give context for things and I don’t have the energy for that.
I use a different app for the layout, but I count messing about with it as a separate hobby. I find it relaxing by itself so it’s become an important part of the process.
I probably get a little too invested in how my journal looks but for me that's part of the process. I create digital art journal pages so I can rearrange and resize things until I like the way they look.
I keep everything in chronological order and usually just put the review on a different coloured background. I like the idea that my opinion of a book is coloured by whatever else is going on in my life so keeping it in order makes sense and it means I can explain to myself why a re-read might hit different later.
I have a digital scrapbook for a journal though so things are easy to insert and re-sort compared to a paper notebook.
So which one is the PM and which one is the AM?
I've never done cover pages before, my entries have always just run on one from the next, but I fell into the habit of doing a doodle calendar, then it expanded to two pages, then I needed to fill a blank page so the calendar would be on a single spread...
You know, the usual evolution of journaling, haha.
I think I've been to the movies once since covid and I have no plans to go back. The tickets are too expensive to be ruined by people being on their phones or talking to each other about what happens next. If there was the option to take your own headphones in to drown out the dickheads I'd probably go back.
I don't live in Auckland so haven't really been paying attention but I saw a quick interview with the owner. If it's in private ownership, why is the restoration getting funded?
I like the modern day comparison, there's more that survived than I would have expected.
Hi, can you share how you solved this? Thanks
I have yet to start the final season of Fringe.
I've been using the SuggestMeABook sub on reddit. I just search for a title I've read and liked and then trawled all the comments that touched on it.
I've started to use the recommendations on StoryGraph the last few months and have been pleasantly surprised. The biggest issue I'm having is that my local library doesn't carry a lot of the more independent authors but I've managed to add a bunch of series to my TBR.
Both!
I go through phases of preferring one over the other so I tend to print the digital entries (usually scrapped into arty spreads) and add them to a Filofax binder so everything is all in one cohesive volume.
In theory it means I can use whatever paper I have to hand but it turns out I’m a paper snob so I still have blank unwanted notebooks lying around that didn’t pass muster.
