Merry ChristmaHanuKwanFestivus! Whatever you’re celebrating, I hope you’re having a lovely season.

This winter marks five and a half years I’ve been running Off the Beaten Shelf and I’ve loved every minute of it. Running a blog inevitably means I spend a lot of time online, so over the years I’ve been considering ways to unplug, even beyond reading, which is of course my favorite way to unplug.

I’ve experimented with keeping various kinds of book journals, though I always seem to fall off the bandwagon.

Until recently.

In the spirit of bullet journaling and DIY planners, I’ve created six downloadable, printable reading logs for you! If you’re looking for a more unplugged, offline, tactile, scrapbooky way to track your reading, these are for you.

Each downloadable reading log has a different aesthetic so you won’t get bored. I designed them with each log being a month’s worth of reading, though of course you can tailor them to your own needs. Use them weekly, quarterly, biannually––whatever works for you!

To download yours, scroll allllll the way to the top of this page until you see a red banner above my site logo. You’ll be prompted to enter your email address so I can email you the logs. It’ll also sign you up for my weekly newsletter, which is a digest of posts, though if you’d rather not receive that you can unsubscribe at any time; no hard feelings.

I know the tech gods can be finicky, so let me know if you have any trouble. And of course I’d love to hear what you think! Let me know how you like these reading logs and how they work for you.

That’s my gift to you this holiday season. Enjoy!

With sugar cookies and quiet reading time amid the festivities,

Mandy
