I recently came across a TikTok by user @bishopmortimer that I think is going to shape my entire reading life this year. In the video, Bishop talks about how more adults should do book reports (which, agree), and gives tips on how to add collages based on each book read to the end of our reports/reviews.
If you are similarly down for becoming more intentional and reflective with your reading this year, or even if you just want a planner to help you map out your life in general, the planners and journals below are perfect.
