Bullet Journal Spreads For Book Lovers

If you have been following my blog for the past year, then you will know that I made a resolution to read and review a book for every month of 2018. When it came to organizing my book lists and my progress while reading, I had to create a few different bullet journal spreads for everything to do with books. In this blog post I will share with you the bullet journal spreads that I think every book lover should use.
I plan on an iPad using the application GoodNotes and Bargain Depot Stylus 2 Pack from Amazon. If you are curious to why I plan digitally you should check out my blog post Switching to a Digital Planner-Paperless Planning.

Book Shelf

Hands down my favorite book related spread that I have created thus far in my bullet journal is my book shelf. After I have finish a book I add it to the shelf. Since the basic idea of this spread is so simple you can easily make it your own my adding different plants or nicknacks to the shelf. You can also choose to color in the books if you would like.

Books Lists

This next spread idea can be used in a variety of different ways. A shown in the picture I used this book list spread for the novels that I am reading in my Horror Fiction course. Instead of using it for a course you can use it for a book club, book series or simply a book wish list. Due to the fact that my book list was for my Horror Fiction course the color scheme is dark, but you can easily make this spread fit any theme by changing the colors and fonts.

Book Tracker

If you are someone who is in a book club and has a deadline or have a library due date, you can use this spread to make sure that you complete the book in time. Depending on the length of the book depends on the value of each box. For me each box is usually about two chapters. I have completed two of these spreads now and will be trying out a new one. So follow my Instagram @whenishouldbestudying so you can see the new spread I will be using. 

Book Checklist

Even though I use this spread to keep track of when I finish reading a chapter in the Bible, the idea of this spread could be easily converted to keep track of books you have read or the number of chapters you have read in a book. I also thought I would share this spread since it is technically a book related spread that I use in my digital bullet journal. 











Weekly Spread

I thought I would be fun to throw in a bonus book related weekly spread to this blog post. As I mentioned earlier I am in a Horror Fiction course. I read both Dracula and Frankenstein, so for Halloween I made a weekly spread using both of the characters. I already shared the spread on my Pinterest and Instagram, but I thought I would include it in this blog post as well.











If you recreate any of these spreads, I would love to see them. Make sure to tag me on Instagram @whenishouldbestudying

Reasonable Dorm Room Cleaning Schedule

Reasonable Dorm Room Cleaning Schedule After my first semester of college I have developed a cleaning routine that I have been able to keep up with. You can read my previous blog post about What I Learned In My First Semester of College . Over the past few months I have experimented and I am confident in the routine that I have created.  Personalize When it comes to personalizing the schedule you could add or take out the different chores. For example I also wash my retainers weekly and monthly my roommate and I decorate the marker board on the outside of our door. We also only clean our mirrors when needed since we have found that they do not seem to become too dirty regularly. Something that I would make sure you sanitize every week would be the surfaces that you are constantly touching. That means light switches, door handles, and your desk. By doing this I managed to avoid getting sick when my roommate and other floor mates go sick. Another task that you could add to y

Bullet Journal Fitness and Workout Spread Ideas

If you want to purchase some of these spreads you can buy the digital bundle from my Etsy shop: Simply Paperless .  I had created six different bullet journal fitness and workout trackers/spreads. These spreads were made in my digital bullet journal using the GoodNotes App.   I highly recommend to use a stylus when using GoodNotes as a digital bullet journal. For this project I used the Adonit Dash 3 Stylus , which I highly recommend. I also recommend the Bargain Depot Stylus 2 Pack  from Amazon. Daily Workout Plan This first spread can be used to plan out what exercises you plan to workout each day of the week. I would recommend this spread for those who are just starting to workout. I did not created the workout that is used as the example for the content of this spread. The workout is from Pintrest Workout Plan .  Workout Tracker This next tracker is in the format of a monthly calendar. In order to track the different workouts accomplished throughout

Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus Book Review

Reasons For Reading This Book: Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus was Jackie's choice for the month of October. Jackie is the host of The Readheads Podcast Book Club. This is a monthly podcast book club that I have been apart of since it was established in 2020. I love getting to hear the thoughts of the hosts each month.  Content of the Book: Elizabeth Zott is a chemist but is much more than meets the eye. She is not only beautiful but also extremely smart, confident, strong, and not afraid to beat to her own drum. Elizabeth is one of the only female chemists working at Hastings Research Institute. She is viewed as different by everyone there. It's there that she meet Nobel-Prize nominated chemist Calvin Evans. Calvin who falls in love with Elizabeth is described as a loner, grudge holder, and extremely brilliant. Fast forward a few years and Elizabeth is now a single-mother working as the host of the most watched cooking show, Supper at Six . With Elizabeth's ways of
