The Story Behind My Book Journal: Cover Reveal, Real Talk, and a TBR Update

I've been working on something quietly since January, and today I'm lifting the curtain on The Book Up Reading Journal. In this special bonus episode, I share more about the journal I've created for fellow book lovers — why I made it, what makes it different from every other book journal on the shelf, and the real story behind picking the cover. It wasn't all easy, and I get real about that in this one.

I also share a TBR update on the books I've been meaning to get to, including a couple I'm still deciding whether to DNF.

Whether you're here for the books, the story behind the story, or just to hang out in the book nook with me — I'm so glad you're here.
