A bespoke reading journal, personalized with name or initials to become a treasured archive of books read and loved.

The Reading Journal is designed for book lovers who want to build a lasting record of their literary journey. Made by hand in our Charlottesville, Va. workshop, each journal features a choice of three cover designs—Books (illustration only), Book Journal, or Book Club Journal—available in vermilion, citrine, or kraft with matching elastic band. This A5 volume serves as both a functional reading companion and a beautiful addition to the nightstand or bookshelf.

Thoughtful Construction - Built to capture reading journeys without overwhelming one's space, the Reading Journal pairs 350 gsm premium cover stock (vermilion or citrine) or 22 pt kraft with a sturdy 60 pt black book board backing. Dual ¾" wire binding—black for vermilion and citrine, antique brass tone for kraft—allows the journal to lie completely flat while writing, and a ½" elastic band in the chosen color keeps everything secure between reading sessions.

50 Structured Entry Pages - Inside are 50 double-sided entry pages printed on archival-quality Mohawk Superfine 80 lb ultrawhite paper. Each structured spread provides space to note key details, summarize the story, track characters, and add personal observations—supporting easy note-taking and reflection across all 50 books.

Index for Easy Reference - The journal opens with 4 index pages to track book titles and entry page numbers, making it simple to revisit past reads and reflections.

Personalization - The Reading Journal can be personalized with up to 14 characters (name or initials) in all-caps Futura, positioned on the cover as shown. Makes a thoughtful gift for book lovers, especially when paired with a favorite read or a gift card from a local bookseller.
