13 Bullet Journal Ideas For Book Lovers
Diving into the world of Bullet Journal page ideas can feel a bit like wandering through an endless library—so many possibilities, each more enticing than the last.
Now, if you’re anything like me, your love for books runs deep. They’re not just stories; they’re gateways to other worlds, teachers of life lessons, and sometimes, they’re the best friends we could ask for on a rainy day. That’s why, dear fellow book lovers, I’ve gathered these Bullet Journal ideas especially for you.
We’re about to blend our passion for reading with the creative and organizational magic of Bullet Journaling. Think of it as crafting your very own literary companion, one page at a time. From tracking your to-read list to capturing your favorite quotes, get ready to turn the pages of your Bullet Journal into a love letter to all things literary.
Your Bullet Journal can be a great help and companion on your reading journey, and here are just a few examples of how it can transform your reading experience.
Remember those books you keep telling yourself you’ll read ‘someday’? Well, with a Bullet Journal, ‘someday’ becomes ‘today’. Creating a reading list not only helps you remember all those recommendations from friends and that intriguing title you came across at the bookstore but also gives you the sheer joy of ticking them off one by one. It’s like a high-five to yourself each time you complete a book!
Ever finished a book and felt like you’ve lost a friend? Me too. That’s where your Bullet Journal comes in.
By jotting down quotes, thoughts, and feelings about the books you read, you’re essentially creating a diary of your reading life. Months or years down the line, flipping through those pages will be like revisiting old friends and cherished memories. Plus, it’s a fantastic way to see how your thoughts and perspectives evolve over time.
And let’s not forget the sheer creativity it unleashes. Designing pages for your reading list, crafting book review spreads, or even doodling scenes from your favorite chapters can add an extra layer of enjoyment to your reading experience. It’s a way to make the stories come alive even after you’ve turned the last page.
And there are so many more ideas that you can try!
But before we get into it, I wanted to mention that I’ve created some FREE printables that you can use in your Bullet Journal right away to track your reading goals and more! So be sure to scroll until the end to learn how to access them.

Stationery Recommendations
Before we dive into the pages, let’s talk about supplies since you’ll definitely need a few to recreate the Bullet Journal pages.
You obviously can create a Bullet Journal spread with whatever supplies you already have available, but if you want to get something special that looks extra great on reading-related pages, here are my recommendations:
- Calliograph pens. They come in beautiful colors and have two brush tips, so you can use them for coloring and for creating different sizes of headers. (you can also get 10% off with my code MASHA10)
- Fineliners. These are the blood of every Bullet Journal page, and I recommend getting Sakura Pigma Micron.
- Kraft paper. I always find that it looks amazing on reading pages. You can use any you want, but I prefer using a kraft paper notepad that was it still has good paper and a dot grid. (you can also get 10% off with my code MASHA10)
- Book stencil. An easier and definitely faster way to add book doodles to your Bullet Journal.
- Letter stamps fit so well with all the book pages, and they will allow you to have many fun and unique headers.
I can talk stationery for hours! So, if you want even more ideas, be sure to check the “More Resources” section at the end of the post. And let’s dive into some page ideas for book lovers!
Bullet Journal Ideas For Book Lovers
The beauty of the Bullet Journal method is that you can create any page you want. It's limited only by your imagination.
These ideas may be what you need, or they may spark your creativity to create your own unique reading journal pages.
Either way, you'll love the pages I found for you, so let's take a look!
Reading tracker is a fun way to track your reading, and this particular one also has a key for adding evaluations for your books as well.
Favorite books of the year are a fun way to always remember your best reads, especially if you read lots.
I love how this list has an area for one favorite book each month, so you can actually fill it out one month at a time.
I don't know about you but give me some time, and all I'll remember about a book will be whether I liked it or not. With pages like this, you'll always be able to remember all the important ideas and lessons from your favorite books.
It also seems like a good reference for when you feel like reading some of the books you've read before but are not sure which one to pick.
So many amazing books come in series, so why not create a track like this one for all the series you've started and planning to finish? It will always be there, reminding you that there are a few series you are into and many more books to read!
For an avid reader, having a library card can save tons of money. But choosing to lend a book over buying one can be a bit of a challenge, so having a tracer like this one can be super motivational!
Reading a lot, you probably have a lot of data about your literary pursuits, so it might be a fun way to finish up your year with a spread like this.
Having a challenge is fun to get yourself more into reading, so a little challenge spread can be just the motivation you need to read more!
I know I get tons of recommendations on books to read, but when it comes time for me to pick the next book to read, I never know what to choose. A spread like that can help you always have a wonderful list of books to choose from.
I always say how useful it is to have a monthly review page when it comes to planning, but the same can be true about your reading! That way, when it's time to do a yearly overview, you already have all the data!
Plus, isn't it incredibly satisfying to see all the numbers and effort you put into reading?
Goodreads is one of my favorite digital places to track books, and they always have great recommendations and fun challenges! I know one of these challenges helped me get back to reading, so I'm sure you'll find them just as useful and fun as I did
I love choosing quotes from the books I read; I think they can be so powerful and uplifting, but they can also help you better understand the inner meaning the author has behind the book and just the general writing style. Turning your favorite quotes into creative Bullet Journal pages is an enjoyable idea, allowing you to bring more creativity to your notebook.
Are you reading a lot of modern books? Well, then, a spread like this might be for you! Here, you have space to note all the upcoming releases you're excited about for each month of the year!
I don't know about you, but choosing just one best book is always a hard task for me. Creating a book bracket like this one could be a fun solution to this little problem!
Also, it generally looks like a fun game. I'd like to try playing it and see which books people choose and if it would be the same winner for everyone.
