5/4 - April Vlog Style Reading Wrap Up | April 2021 | All 6 Books I Read | Reading Slump!

Hi, I’m Mo.
Here is my April 2021 reading wrap up. I love these vlog style wrap ups! I was pretty slumpy this month by I still read 6 books. Even tho I got in to a reading slump, I still read 6 books this month so I feel ok about it!
As long as I read about a book a week I feel on track! I read a few mysteries, a coming of age story, a book about grief, and a modern classic romance! I also DNFd a book but I will read that book at some point, so I'll wrap it up in the future. I also started a book but will finish it in May. I also go into a bit more depth about some of the diversity concepts in certain books. One book had good queer rep, which I don't see a lot in the books I read. There was a good discussion of found family as well. I participated in Linguathon. Here is noelle7pages announcement vid: https://youtu.be/YGPO9iomAoE I mention a lot of other vids I've made, too!! those are listen below!

5/9 - May 2021 Plan with me | New Bullet Journal | Yearly Set Ups | Monthly Set Up | Minimalist BuJo

Hi, I’m Mo.
I got a new bullet journal for May 2021! In this video I set up my yearly spreads and the first month of my journal. Minimalist BuJo.
My monthly spreads are all basically the same each month but I love when I get to do my yearly spreads!! IN the case of the last book and prob in the case of this book, it will technically be a six month spread. But you get the idea! My bujo is minimalist, simple and utilitarian. I have a few new yearly spreads in this books, so I will need to work with them over the next 6 or so months to see how I like them! I use a Cognitive Surplus notebook. I used one of these for my last bullet journal as well and I really liked it! You can find them here: https://cognitive-surplus.com
Do you only start a new book when you need to or do you start on every 6 months or a year? I start my book when ever I need to but I like that these books are lasting me 6 months. It feels like a good period of time! Are your spreads always the same or do the change month to month?

Thanks for joining me today! I post videos two times a week. I post about creative simple living: books, cats, zero waste, bullet journaling, beach life, and more!
