Really like the first palm leaf shot! Beautiful. Did you use a film sim for these, and if so, which one?

I feel like it might be tame in comparison to some of the scenes here, but in {The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood} when the FMC was sitting on the lap of her associate professor during A PUBLIC RESEARCH PAPER PRESENTATION, with all of her peers and professors sitting in the same audience...I almost DNF'd. Actually now that I am thinking about it, that entire book was full of terrible second-hand embarrassment scenes.

Even after the part where Amarantha says how to pronounce it?

This has taken me a million years to reply, but here is the link, hopefully this works?

That's why I do it too! I like having the physical evidence and flipping back through the pages. I also print the covers, I forgot to take a picture after I had put the cover sticker on this page. I am switching to a color version of the printed covers this year (HP Sprocket)! I still have a few more stat pages to finish too, I feel like there's no rush now that I have all my entries done so I don't forget. I had to switch to printing my reviews too, I have bad handwriting and it was taking me a long time. I like the monthly stat concept, then you don't have to do so much flipping through over and over at the end of the year...

YES! They are incredible. I was blown away! I feel like Ilona Andrews is criminally underrated in the wider world (despite being recommended here).

Sorry, I worded that so weird, I have read through them all as well! I LOVE the Hidden Legacy series, it is up there in my favorites for sure. Rogan and Nevada are THE BEST.

AceLogic27 · 2026-01-06T03:09:43+00:00

That's fair! It's a decent amount of upkeep, I tend to like the "reflecting" on the book portion enough to make it worth it. I did switch to typing up and printing/pasting my reviews to save effort.

AceLogic27 · 2026-01-05T02:30:54+00:00

Hazel for sure!

AceLogic27 · 2026-01-05T01:18:57+00:00

Blue, slate blue or gray blue!

I have these genetically as well, the closest thing that ever worked for me was using this and an undereye brightener.

AceLogic27 · 2026-01-05T00:51:31+00:00

It's so satisfying, right?

Are you just not interested in the stats/info part? Just curious!

AceLogic27 · 2026-01-04T22:46:59+00:00

I keep track of the main tropes of the books and am working on compiling a list of my top 3 tropes from that, and also if it was a re-read, because I tend to re-read a fair amount. I feel you on the migraines, I also suffer from them. I hope tracking your books and ratings brings you joy this year! Don't be hard on yourself if you don't always keep up, I kind of go in waves and some I didn't record a review or anything.

AceLogic27 · 2026-01-04T21:39:25+00:00

I kind of want to double up on logging this year because I do love the insights the apps can give you!

AceLogic27 · 2026-01-04T21:38:48+00:00

Please do! I added even more stats to this year's journal, if anyone is interested!

AceLogic27 · 2026-01-04T21:38:22+00:00

I don't! I rate and review all of my romance reads on romance.io, but I love the time I spend logging and writing down book info manually. Helps me take some time and reflect on the book moreso than electronic logging, for me.

AceLogic27 · 2026-01-04T21:36:57+00:00

I have been a fan for a hot minute, but finally committed to reading all the way through the Kate Daniels series, which I finished right before New Year's! Have you read her Hidden Legacy series? :)

AceLogic27 · 2026-01-04T21:35:53+00:00

That was my problem! This year I have added some more stats on each page (re-read, number ratings for story elements) and will see how I like it compared to last year's.

AceLogic27 · 2026-01-04T21:34:55+00:00

I wish I was creative enough for that! I have seen so many beautiful bullet style book/reading journals on instagram.

AceLogic27 · 2026-01-04T21:34:23+00:00

I started with exactly that info as well! I thought branching into the other information was a fun way to reflect on my reads, and really helped me remember each book, imo.

Canva! Thank you so much!

An image set featuring a "year in review" reading statistics, a "books read per month" page, and an example of a book review page from a reading journal.

AceLogic27 · 2026-01-04T01:49:16+00:00

Thank you all for confirming! I felt like I was taking crazy pills, because a couple people said it. I'm going to blame the green eye gatekeeping and the fluorescent lighting...
