52 Weeks Of Gratitude Journal Review

 

Title: 52 Weeks Of Gratitude

Author: Ink and Willow Publishing

Genre: Nonfiction, Journal, Spiritual, Gratitude.

Plot: If we have ever needed a guided journal to focus on gratitude, 2020 is the year for it. This journal is a hardcover with a gorgeous design and it id divided into sections inside. Each section, Home, Community, Faith, and Beauty cover the different areas of our lives that we can find gratitude in. Each themed week has a Bible verse, a paragraph to reflect on, a section to journal, and a tip to build gratitude into your daily life. At the back of the journal is a daily gratitude list for the entire year where you write down one thing a day you are grateful for.

All in all, a very elegant and simple journal with a straightforward layout and goal in mind.

Likes/Dislikes: The paper is nice, very smooth and just the right thickness. Some of the reflections might be harder than others but over all, this is a good journal to create and build the habit of gratitude. I quite like it, especially the daily list at the end.

Rating: G-all ages, geared more for adults though.

To Read Or Not To Read Journal Book Review

 
Title: To Read Or Not To Read

Author: Ink and Willow Publishing

Genre: Nonfiction, Journal, Literary, Books, Interactive, Lists.

Plot: Every book-dragon and serious reader know that keeping track of the books you've read is a daunting task. Throw in keeping track of the books you want to read and you're pretty much guaranteed to be buried under piles and piles of unsorted books. This is when a journal such as To Read Or Not To Read comes in very, very handy. This journal is designed with book lovers in mind.

Beginning with the table of contents, there are blank spaces to write in the titles of the titles you review for easy future reference. Each page has a space for the book's title, year published, your rating, notes, your review, your final thoughts, why you read the book, and what impact it had on you. Furthermore, there are lists of books such as BBC Top 100 Reads to check off which titles you've read and introduce you to new favorite reads. There is a blank list in the back to list your own to be read titles, and a How Bookish Are You quiz. For a final treat, there are Author Spotlight sections on Flannery O'Connor, Shusaku Endo, Frederick Douglass, Dorothy Sayers, Richard Twiss, and Justo L. Gonzalez.

Likes/Dislikes: This is the first bookish journal I have (shocking, I know) and I absolutely love it! The paper is thick and smooth, the layout of each section is gorgeous and easy on the eyes, and the whole thing makes me excited about reading and discovering new books. I think it is an extra perk that the cover is blue which is my favorite color. All in all, this journal is highly recommended and should be at the top of every book lover's holiday wish list this season.

Rating: G-all ages, geared more toward teens and adults.
