13 Gorgeous Reading Bullet Journal Spreads
Here are some Bullet Journal page ideas for book lovers! If you’re anything like me, your love for books is matched only by your love for stationery and planning.
Combining these two passions in a reading journal is a fantastic way to keep track of your literary adventures, reflect on what you’ve read, and motivate yourself to read even more. It’s so much more than just a list of books; it’s a creative space to explore your reading life.
This post is packed with inspiration for your reading journal spreads. We will look at different ways to track your reading, create a TBR list that you’ll actually use, and design beautiful collection pages for your favorite quotes and series.
Let’s get these pages set up so you can spend more time doing what you love—reading!
I think reading and journaling are two hobbies that fit together so well! Like they were supposed to be connected.
Reading is an amazing hobby, but I’ve started noticing that at some point it all mixes together, and a lot of fantastic books get lost, or the books I should’ve read a while ago go unread and are overshadowed by newer releases.
This is why having a reading journal is helpful – it will allow you to bring more joy and organization to your books.
And before we get into the page ideas, I want to mention that I’ve created a FREE Bullet Journal book tracker that you can print and use in your Bullet Journal right away.
Get this and 50+ other FREE Bullet Journal printables at the end of this post.

Reading Journal Spreads
There are plenty of different ideas out there, and each creator has their own style as well, so there is no limit to the inspiration you can find.
In this blog post, I gathered 13 different pages from different creators, so I’m sure you will find something unique and enjoyable to use in your own journal.
Personally, I don’t read that much, so my own reading journal pages (even though I have been journaling since 2018) are very basic and fit more of a casual reader, but that is also why I gathered so many beautiful pages from other incredible creators who don’t just read a lot but also journal in such a unique way!
Let’s dive in!
Book Tracker
Let’s start from one of the book trackers that I have created in my own journal.
A bookshelf-style book tracker is always my favorite – you have enough space to write all the information about the books, and you also have plenty of space to get creative and decorate it however you want.
I think using kraft paper added a bit of a special cozy feeling to the page. And this was actually there to cover up a mistake I made on one of my pages. So in the end this was a win – I got a stylish book tracker, and I hid a big mistake behind it.
Book Review Spread
Something I think is useful to make is your reading journal, which has a review page for the books you’ve read.
I noticed for myself that I used to read a lot, and I can say I read many books, but it’s hard to even remember what they were about sometimes. A layout like this will definitely help you not just read the book but also remember it and what it taught you.
I love that this creator added so much reflection to the review, including questions like why you enjoyed the book and what you learned. This is definitely an inspiration for me and gives me more ideas for what to include in my own book review pages that I’m not planning to create, since I’m working on reading more.
To Be Read List Page
Having a to-be-read list is useful when you have time to pick your next book.
This layout is incredible because of how creative the artist was with it, and my guess is that the books already in color are the ones they read.
I think this would be a great page for anyone who is trying to start reading more – seeing all the books on the list would definitely get you excited to read more!
Series Tracker
If you like reading series a lot, you should have a page dedicated to them. That way, you always know how far in the series you’ve read and how many books are still left.
I definitely still struggle to remember how many books in the Dune series I’ve actually finished. And I just started another series without knowing it has five books.
A page like that would definitely help me avoid any reading commitments I can’t keep at the moment.
Reading Bingo
This is another layout that I created specifically to motivate myself to read more. It also helps me to pick the books I’m reading.
The point of this page is to fill every square with a different book, then read at least four of them to get a bingo.
This is a small goal, but I think when you start a new habit, you have to start small.
Reading Challenge Page
Goodreads often has fun challenges you can participate in, and it’s more fun when you see so many people from all over the world taking part in it. Such things definitely deserve a separate layout.
I think this type of layout helps motivate you to read more, turning reading into a fun game. So whether you are simply trying to get back into reading or an avid reader looking to level up, participating in a challenge like that can be both beneficial and fun!
And of course, it is always more fun when you track it in your journal.
Reading Goals + Rating System
Whatever you do, it’s useful to have some goals set for you, and this creator set some pretty strong reading goals.
And the second part of this idea is to have a clear understanding of how the books are rated. I find it very useful! Personally, I really struggle to rate things because I get overwhelmed and forget the criteria, so a layout like this can be very helpful!
Yearly Books Read
I love all kinds of reviews and big yearly pages; in general, they help me get a bit better ideas for the year, and I love seeing all the data for the entire year in one place. The same applies to a yearly reading page like this one.
The creator captured so much in these two pages. I really love the idea of not just listing the book’s name but also adding details like the rating and page count for each book.
Favorite Books This Year
Moving on to this page from another fantastic creator, which is all about the favorite books you read this year. This page definitely looks amazing, and I love the visual of book covers added here.
Those are actually pretty easy to create: just print the covers, cut them out, and glue them to the page. Or, like I usually do, use something like the HP Sprocket and print directly onto sticker paper, ready to add to your journal right away.
I think a layout like this would also help you better understand how your year went, by showing which books you enjoyed and which you didn’t.
Reading Tracker
This is a little cute layout I created to track my reading habits. I’m trying to come back to reading more, so this was a challenge for me to ensure that UI read at least a little bit every day for 40 days.
I really love how this page came out, so once I started filling out the first day, I was very motivated to stay on track and read consecutively for 40 days just so it would look nice and complete.
Reading Journal Wrap Up
This is a really fun idea and another way to get a bird’s-eye view of your reading habits. I don’t see the time mentioned anywhere (is this for this month? this year?).
But the creator managed to add so many different statistics to this layout, and I love that they also mentioned the format of the books and whether they borrowed them or bought them.
Pages Read Layout
There are a lot of things to track when we talk about reading – how many books have you read, did you listen to the books or get a physical copy, what are the genres you usually read?
This layout illustrates a tracker that monitors the number of pages read. When I was a kid, this was the gold standard for gauging how good a reader you were, so this idea really resonated with me.
A-Z Reading Challenge
I think turning something into a challenge is a good way to make it a bit more fun and light-hearted. So here is a layout for a cute A-Z reading challenge idea. I’m not sure whether it’s the book’s title or the author, but I bet it’ll take some time to finish this one.
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.
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 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 allow you to have many fun and unique headers.

Of course, I had to create a little freebie for you – a book tracker!
