11+ Book Bullet Journal Page Ideas for Tracking, Reviewing & Planning Your Reading
Need some fresh Bullet Journal page ideas for book lovers? You have definitely come to the right place! For anyone who lives for that magical moment when you crack open a brand-new novel, combining love for reading with Bullet Journaling is a total no-brainer.
We all have that ever-growing TBR pile staring at us from the nightstand, right? Sometimes all you need is a little creative motivation to tackle it.
Tracking your reading habits isn’t just about the numbers; it’s about preserving the memories of the stories that moved you. I’ve gathered a collection of stunning book journal spreads, ranging from simple trackers to detailed review pages.
Grab your favorite fineliners, and let’s get those reading goals organized!
Your Bullet Journal is a wonderful tool; you can use it for so much more than just your planning.
Whatever your hobby is, trust me, it will be more fun and creative if you use your Bullet Journal and create layouts that help you track, improve, and remember more of the fun time you had while practicing your favorite activity.
When it comes to reading, I think it’s important to have some reading pages because I realized that if I don’t write things in my journal, I forget, be it the plot of the books I’m reading or the main message.
I used to read so much, but now I can only say whether I read a book without actually remembering anything about it.
Having a journal will help you remember all the important lessons and the moments you enjoyed forever. Even if you never look back, just the fact that you’re writing down your thoughts and impressions will already make you remember.
Oh, and the fun part here: these layouts would work for any other type of hobby. Whether you like watching movies, anime, reading manga, or learning art history, most of these layouts can be applied to your hobby in one way or another.
I am actually starting my little anime journals, so let me know in the comments if this is something you’d like to see as well. But back to book journal ideas.
Book Journal Spread Ideas
A book journal is such a fun project, especially if you’re an avid reader! There is a huge amount of ideas, and each creator also has their own style and take.
I have been journaling since 2018, but I am not that deep into reading, so I only have a few spreads to share. But that is also why I’ll be including layouts from other creators here, who not only have their own incredibly unique styles, but are also coming up with pages I wouldn’t even think about.
Check the pages that speak to you, pick decorative elements and styles you enjoy, and get creating!
Book Tracker
Let’s start with probably the most basic book layout – a bookshelf-style book tracker. I love this format because it gives you clear space for your book titles and a cute visual design.
This is a creative way to keep a list of all the books you’ve read, or maybe the books you’re planning to read.
Reading Statistics
I think having a visual representation of your achievements is always great, and this layout does that. It would definitely make you feel more fired up and motivated to read more!
And I like that the creator also added information on the books and all the ratings.
This page basically mixes your Goodreads and your journal, and if you love both, this is a perfect idea for you to explore.
Reading Challenge
It’s very fun and useful to turn reading into a bit of a challenge, and if I understood this one correctly, it will also help you explore different genres and authors you would otherwise not know.
I think this is an incredible challenge to broaden your reading horizons, and it would work for you whether you’re an avid reader or just an occasional one. It will help you to learn new things either way.
Yearly Reading Overview
I love the idea of a layout that gives an overview of all the reading adventures you’re doing throughout the year. I like how this creator managed to add so much different information in this one simple page.
I usually find that yearly overview pages like that help me better understand where I am going with my goals (or reading goals, in this creator’s case), reflect, and better prepare me for what to do next year.
I also really love that poetcore aesthetic that the creator used for this layout. It really is impossible for me to pull off, so I really admire that others can.
Reading Mosaic
This is a way to track your reading, and I absolutely love this format and the name the creator gave it (reading mosaic). That way, they can easily see when, what genre, and how many pages they read.
Plus, in the end, the layout becomes a beautiful, colorful pattern.
Books Statistics
I adore this cozy and comfy layout for monthly reading statistics. I love the style the creator chose; it really looks like it’s giving you a hug.
But apart from the design, it’s also a very detailed and useful layout with all the information about the reading the creator did during the month. I also really like the little book covers added at the bottom.
I think a layout like this will be very helpful for monitoring your reading habits and ensuring you are on track with the types of books and the reading you want to do.
Book Review
I think it’s a useful thing to write reviews for the books you’ve read – it helps you properly remember all the wonderful reading experiences you’ve had. Plus, by writing, you’re also pushing yourself to think deeper about the books and the things you enjoyed about them.
Plus, this creator turned a practical page into a little masterpiece.
Oh, and I have been doing some book review pages too (soon to come in a new post), and so I wanted to share a few ideas on what you can include:
- Basic information (author, pages, date read, format, genre)
- Favorite characters
- Main lessons
- Main conflict
- Personal thoughts
Series Tracker
I find that a lot of books are coming in series, and I think it’s pretty useful to know how many books you are committing to when you start.
Here is an inspiration for a book series layout. This creator does read a lot of series! I love how this layout is very simple, but its beauty lies in the handwriting font, which looks incredible. It’s a fun idea that the creator used different colors to track different series, so as they go, the layout becomes more colorful.
Books Read
This is another bookshelf-style book tracker, and this time it’s two pages long, with so many beautiful little details that make the layout stand out. I love the gentle colors and the cozy window illustration in the middle.
Considering how many books you can fit on this tracker, this one is definitely for a heavy reader!
Weekly Reading Recap
If you read enough to realize that just having yearly and monthly reading statistics pages isn’t enough, you can always go for a weekly recap like this one. I like that the creator added little sections for each book, including the cover design.
I can only dream about reading enough to create weekly reading pages with several books!
Physical TBR List
We all have a list of books we want to read, and here is a layout to help you remember them and motivate you to start reading.
I think it’s a fun thing that the creator has a separate list just for her physical books! There is also some kind of color coding there, which I’m sure is very useful when it comes to managing that many books.
Reading Tracker
Last but not least is one more of my own pages I created. This is a tracker that helps me to hit my goal of reading a little bit every day.
There is no special purpose behind using 40 days specifically; that is just how much space I had after I added all the decorations.
And before we look at these spreads, let me remind you that at the end of this blog post, you can also find a FREE printable book tracker, which you can start using right away!

Stationery recommendations
Let’s have a quick chart about stationery. You definitely can use any pens and markers you already have. But if you’re looking for something extra for your reading pages, I have a few things I’m sure you’ll love.
- Calliograph pens. They come in beautiful colors and have two brush tips of different sizes and softness. (You can also get 10% off with my code MASHA10)
- Fineliners. These are the blood of every Bullet Journal page, and I recommend getting these ones.
- Book stencil. An easier and definitely faster way to add book doodles to your Bullet Journal.
- Letter stamps. I feel like it fits so well with all the book pages. And it will let you create many fun, unique headers.
