A new chapter, a new reading life in January 2021. I've been faithfully reading from my bookshelves or library holds and I racked up quite the stack of finished books in this first month of the new year; off to grand beginnings tallied towards my 2021 Reading Goals. I'm pleased as punch with this month's titles having read quite a few 5-Star books and at least one, if not two or three, will be vying for, at the very least, a top ten spot - for sure.
I am going with a clean and simple design to document what I've been reading this year. I am using a 4 x 8, Citrus Twist album, so this will hold ALL the pages of various sizes (4 x 8, 3 x 8, 4 x 6, and 4 x 4, plus fold outs and inserts) below. I am using one embellishment for each individual page, otherwise clean lines and color. I'm pleased with the simplicity and it is super easy to keep up with throughout the month, as I finish a book or two I create their companion page. I will bundle print through Persnickety Prints (hoping to place an order sometime this month).
All of the page reviews above will be printed in their various sizes and inserted into my READ 2021 4 x 8 Citrus Twist album. They are a mix of sizes above (4 x 8, 3 x 8, 4 x 6, 4 x 4, fold outs, and inserts). Below are the pages I created that give a quick look of what I read in January.
The book shelf page (fold out) on the right is a page I will insert in to each month adding more and more books of what I have been reading. Hopefully the book shelves will be filled with colored spines of completed books.
16 total books read this month. That's crazy!
