As the new year gets closer, I wanted to share something I do throughout the year to track my reading in the hopes that it might inspire some of you to do the same. I create a spread in my “journal” to track and rate the books I’ve read. I also try to create an artistic representation for the books that have resonated with me. These usually include a few quotes. Sometimes I create them as I start to read the book and add to them. Other times I’ve waited until I finished the book to celebrate it with a spread in my journal. Here are a few examples from the past few years.

A there any other rain lovers out there? Did you know there is a word for someone who loves the rain?
These are the types of journals I use for art journals, bullet journals, and reading journals. There are journals available that prevent bleed through from pens and markers. I use washi tape to put two pages together for extra thickness instead of using the specially designed journals. Instagram.com/reneeswrites

Finally finished reading my first book of the year.
Thank you, Apple Sophia Lim, for sending us your adorably fun book, “Make a Wish For A Unicorn”! It was engaging, hilarious, and cute with a little bit of magic. ❤

Today,
in the ceaseless repetition of daily tasks,
I found something quite remarkable.
I was granted a sudden appreciation for the growth that is marked by endings.
You see,
so many milestones are marked by firsts.
First smiles, first words, first steps.
But there is such significance in the lasts as well.
The last time they are held in crook of your arm, or fall asleep against your chest.
The last time
they hold your hand to cross the street,
Or run into your open arms.
The last time they are carried.
For without realizing it, there will be a last for everything, and those lasts will go unnoticed.
But the true growth of a child is not measured in firsts, or candles, or marks on the wall,
but in the total sum of the endings.
Does anyone else get lost in thought while appreciating the beauty of the little things?
Thank you, Allison for sending us your book. We loved reading it! “Patience little sister” is now Roman’s catch phrase of the day! This was such an adorable story about the magic of growing up and the love between siblings.

Thank you, Billy, for sending us your book, “Where Are My Friends.” To say Roman loved it is an understatement.

That perches in the soul -
And sings the tune without the words -
And never stops - at all -
