Favorite Place for a Book to Take Place? [Instagram]

 in Books / Instagram by

Do you have a favorite place that your book has to take place in [if the book occurs on planet Earth!)?

QUESTION: Do you have a favorite culture or location that books set on Earth occur in? • I generally love somewhere in the UK or around Europe. Also Japan when it’s history as it’s just so rich! But I’ve recently had an interest in books from the Middle East or close to there. Not sure why; maybe it’s the sand! • • • #bookstagram #bookstafeatures #readersofinstagram #bookcommunity #booknerds #booksbooksbooks #booktoday #wintermood #ireadya #bookfeaturepage #bookoftheday #classicliterature #bookworms #bookdragons #bookishfeatures #sweaterweather #instabooks #bookaddict #bookaholic #bookblogger #bookgeek #booklover #literature #literaturelover #libro #libros #livre #arabiansands

Book Bullet Journals? 1

 in Books / Creative by

So Laura Sackton over at BookRiot came up with 3 bullet journal book spreads that really helped her get on top of her reading life. Pretty nifty idea, huh??

My Opinion

While this is so cute, I personally would find it to be a waste of time. During the time that you had to draw all of this stuff out, you could have read a decent chunk of the book you were drawing.

Sure, I love looking at a good bullet journal as they’re visually gorgeous (some of them are just works of art) but I don’t think that I would ever personally make one. I mean, come on, it takes so long. I find it to be kind of a time waster. Give me a simple planner and some pens (even colored ones) and I’ll write stuff in. But put all of this work in? I mean I barely have time to socialize with my friends for a few hours (which is needed to keep sane) let alone create a masterpiece like this.

But I know that some people really love them. It can be relaxing and if you got the time to do it, then all power to you. But the question is, does it help you any more than just buying a simple one? Yes, I know that it’s customized and all yours, but…does it really matter?

What are your thoughts?
