These are the last spreads of my year-long childhood book themed bullet journal, being spring, March, April, and May

I didn't get this one done until the middle of April due to still recovering from my injury. But I left pages for it, and got it finished eventually.

LOL, March. I was two days post-surgery and high as a kite on painkillers when I made this. I forgot to take a picture before I filled it in, but frankly, I'm just glad I managed to do this one.

A childhood book so beloved that I literally have an illustrated copy of it on my coffee table as we speak.

And finally, the series of books that made me reluctant to even taste mushrooms until well into adulthood. If you know, you know. I'm still not really a fan of eating fungus.

I really enjoyed have a theme for the entire year, with this being the second year in a row that I've done so. I'll spend May getting my next bujo set up - the theme will be medieval. I'll post at the end of summer. Speaking of, do you know how hard it is to find examples of the letter "J" in the various medieval texts? I'm guessing it wasn't much in use back then. However, there's 3 months out of the year that start with that letter in English.

I'm way behind on posting these (like, I'm currently working on spring spreads).

First up, my seasonal spread with book quote:

Next up a book that should be recognizable based on the art by the author:

I printed the month name using the 'Ringbearer' font. ^_~ I used to read The Simarillion through The Return of the King every winter break, hence my association of The Hobbit with December.

Next is January and an extremely obscure book, but one that I adored as a child:

The author's second book is much better known and was turned into a movie, but I liked this one better. I don't know if anyone can tell based on the spread what book it is.

( the title )

For February, I chose The Call of the Wild:

I'm getting ready for next year's bullet journal - I was thinking about doing illuminated capitals for each month, or perhaps movies. I'm also open to suggestions!

Having offered journals and planners to buy or to print at home, it seems useful to cover related supplies. This post covers pens, markers, pencils, inks, and a few extras. Understand that the physical experience of writing is a big appeal with recordkeeping on paper, so pay attention to the handfeel of what you use. Also, many people in this activity are highly visual, with an interest in color-coding and/or using a set of symbols to store information. For this reason, they often want multiple colors. Another reason for variety is when you do different things in your journal -- writing, drawing, filling in areas of color, etc. A good handwriting pen may not excel at coloring in spaces and vice versa, so you might need different ones for each task.

Here is a post listing materials for 2025. They aren't things I make or sell, just a selection of popular options for people who prefer bound, premade items to printables or refillables.

Over at my journal, I wrote a post describing how I've kept up with bullet journalling since February 2022. I'd never managed to make it work for myself for more than 3 months before, and I think mostly it was psychological stuff holding me back -- maybe other people will find something helpful in that post, too! I also mentioned a couple of things I haven't figured out yet, like how to actually do my monthly tasks rather than migrate them forever 😅

(And while I was adding links to that post, I came across my reply to the Journal Snowflake event we did in the second half of Feb 2022! I wonder if there'd be some appetite to do it again in 2025?)

goals_on_dw has a series of resource posts about bullet journals:

Bullet Journal Printables by Topic -- things you can print out and add to your journal or planner, on a wide variety of subjects. Most of these are layouts for specific types of pages, but there are some versatile ones too.

Bullet Journal Printables by Page Size -- a huge collection of links to things you can print out, designed for a wide range of journal sizes. Some friends have mentioned not being able to find printables for their preferred journal size, so I hunted down everything I could find from large to tiny. Some of these are layouts for specific types of pages, but there's also a very large amount of material for printing dot grids, graph paper, lined paper, and other background material.

Bullet Journal Ideas -- things for you to draw in your own journal. Some of these are layouts for specific types of pages, others more general, plus a section on how to draw doodles / icons. They cover a variety of topics, but not all the same ones as the topical post has.

For more, see the Masterlist of Printables which has things like whole calendars or planners that you can run off at home.

Would anyone here like to post about bullet journals at

goals_on_dw some time? Links are useful, but an actual post by someone familiar with the craft would be better. If you've already got a post on that topic, crossposting is welcome.

Could we get a style: bullet journal tag? I've seen people talk about them here, I think this may be where I originally found the style, so I was surprised there wasn't a tag for that already.
