Free Printable Reading Journal Templates
Finding Free Bullet Journal printables for your reading journal just got much easier!
If your massive to-be-read pile is currently threatening to topple over and completely crush your nightstand, you are in the exact right place. I designed trackers to keep your bookish life organized, fun, and aesthetically pleasing.
I have gathered up some reading journal templates that I created myself, along with a few brilliant designs from other incredibly talented creators in our journaling community.
You can easily download these pages, print them out, and paste them straight into your notebook. Grab your favorite pen, get cozy with a warm cup of tea, and let us set up a reading journal that will actually make you want to log every single chapter you finish this year.
I have been Bullet Journaling since 2018, and pretty much right from the beginning, I learned how beneficial it can be to have printables.
They allow you to quickly try and experiment with new pages and new formats while spending no effort. And considering that journaling in many ways is a trial-and-error kind of system, printables are the perfect way to easily figure out and create something that works perfectly for your specific needs.
In this post, we’ll be talking specifically about pages for your reading journal, if you want to have a separate one for your bookish adventures. Or you can just use some of these in your Bullet Journal as a special collection.
Anyway, let’s have a quick word on how you can actually add your printables to your journal.

How To Use Printables In Your Journal
The most important step is making sure the printable matches the size of your journal. If it’s already formatted for A5, which is the standard size for most Bullet Journals, you’re good to go.
If not, you can tweak your printer settings to scale it down to A5. You can check the end of the post if you need a detailed post with step-by-step video tutorial.
All you need to get started is a printer and some paper, though there are also a few extra tools you can use if you want your printables to look even more tidy and professional.
Here are some of my top recommendations for supplies to help you use printables:
- High-quality printing paper. Especially if you’re planning to use any markers on your printables, you need to have a high-quality paper. Otherwise, it will damage your pens. I prefer using HP Premium Paper.
- Paper cutter. You can definitely just use scissors, but I find that you always get cleaner cuts if you use a paper cutter like this Firbon paper cutter.
- Corner rounder. I find that most journals have rounded corners, so it would be a fun idea to cut your printables the same way. You can do it yourself with a pair of sewing scissors like I do, but I would recommend using a corner rounder instead.
Hopefully, that clarifies it all, and you’re ready to get printables and start using them in your journal. So, let’s look at the ones I found for you here.

In this list, I included printables that I created myself, as well as many freebies from other creators. So there is no one button to download them all.
Pick which ones you want to try and click "Get Free Printables" to learn how to download them.
That being said, the fact that these are all from different creators will show you plenty of different styles and formats so I'm sure you'll be able to find one that works best for you!

This layout has a very simple design but is very practical, providing a perfect structure for noting your reading adventures in detail.
Plus, the minimalist desigb allows you to have more space to make it liook how you want to, or maybe keep in in this clean minimal look.
This is another bookshelf-style reading log, but this time it covers two pages, so you can fit so many more books here! Plus, I really like the little detail of having the progress chart with how many pages you've read.
This is technically a digital journal, meaning you can use it on your iPad. But it's a PDF file, so you can easily just print these pages and use them in your physical journal.
And all the pages ar in simple black adn white design allowing you to customise them better to your own personal style.
This is one of the best resources for free printables, and their reading and book tracker section has so many different designs and styles to choose from!

With styles and colors in different styles and colors, you'll definitely find a companion here that will help you completely crush this challenge.
I love these ideas and I actually use this format in my journal, only I track anime rand manga rather than books (yes, I'm in my otaku era).
These wil definitely be useful layouts to add to your reading journal to ensureyou have a clear view of al lthe things you've read and have a good memory of every book.
For very heavy readers, you'll love having thsivery well organised abnd detailed reading log. It's basically an Excel sheet with all your reading data, so you can easily see everything at a glance.
I think reading trackers are among the most popular types of reading journal pages, and here are several more designs. Even with the same concept of bookshelf style tracker, it still looks different with each creator having their own style.
This is not just one page; this is a seven-page mini reading journal with all the layouts you need to track and record your bookish conquests. It's beautifully structured, and you'll love the sage color they chose as a theme for these pages.
The creator said these templates are for kids, but I think the designs are adorable and would work for anyone who likes this style! Plus, I'm sure once you choose a color palette to elevate your pages, it will look even better.
This litle kit hjas plenty of different pages you'll love using in your reading journal: reading tracker, books to buy, favroite quotes and so much more!
Including several reading-inspired coloring pages that will go together very well with the cozy reading feeling.
What a fun and creative idea to have a book bracket for figuring out the favorite book of the year! I think this also works very well as a motivation to read more.
And with this printable, it will be pretty easy to choose which vook wins!
Last but not least, here is a beautiful bookshelf-style reading tracker. I think the design is very unique and detailed, and it's a stunning way to wrap up this list.
