If you’re anything like me, the start of a new year means a fresh, blank journal just waiting to be filled with all your hopes, plans, and doodles. And what better way to dive into 2025 than with a bullet journal that’s not only practical but also makes your heart skip a beat every time you flip through it? Whether you’re a seasoned BuJo veteran or a newbie looking to level up, I’ve got you covered with setups that are as functional as they are bookstagram-worthy. Let’s turn those blank pages into your ultimate planning paradise!
1. The Vision Board Spread
Start your year with a visual representation of your goals. Dedicate a couple of pages to a vision board filled with pictures, stickers, and handwritten affirmations that inspire you. Think magazine clippings, mini polaroid-style prints, or printed quotes that make you feel all the positive vibes. This spread is perfect for manifesting everything you want to achieve in 2025, from that dream vacation to nailing your reading goals.
Bookstagram Tip: Add washi tape borders and gold-foil stickers to make it pop on camera.
2. 2025 Year-at-a-Glance
Get a bird’s eye view of the entire year with a two-page spread showing all 12 months. This layout is great for marking important dates like birthdays, book releases, and vacations. Use a minimalist calendar grid or go all out with a themed design (think: florals, celestial, or book motifs).
Bookstagram Tip: Use different colors for various types of events. It’ll add visual interest and keep your spread organized.
3. Monthly Reading Log
Calling all book lovers! A dedicated reading log is a must-have for any bookstagrammer. Create a page with columns or rows to list the books you plan to read, their authors, page counts, and a space for your ratings. For added flair, draw small bookshelf illustrations and fill them in as you complete each book.
Bookstagram Tip: Create a mini “TBR jar” doodle on the corner of the page and fill it in when you’re stuck for your next read. It’s interactive and totally cute!
4. Habit Tracker with a Twist
Habits make or break your goals, so why not track them in style? Create a monthly habit tracker that’s more than just boxes. Try a theme that speaks to your interests, like little books where each page represents a day you complete your habit or tea mugs that get colored in when you check off your habits.
Bookstagram Tip: Color-code your habits to match your monthly theme, and don’t be afraid to use stamps or stencils for a cleaner look.
5. Daily Gratitude Log
This one’s for keeping your mental well-being in check. Dedicate a space each day to write down one thing you’re grateful for. Not only does this help foster a positive mindset, but it also makes for a beautiful flip-through at the end of the year.
Bookstagram Tip: Use a different ink color or add a tiny doodle next to each entry to keep it looking lively.
6. Monthly Review Spread
How did your month go? What did you learn, and what do you want to carry forward into the next? A monthly review page is perfect for reflecting on highlights, challenges, and your favorite memories. Include prompts like “Best Moments,” “Books I Loved,” and “What I Learned.”
Bookstagram Tip: Use Polaroid-style photo prints to add snapshots of your month—perfect for adding a little nostalgia to your feed.
7. Quotes Page
Every book lover knows the power of a good quote. Dedicate a page or two to jot down your favorite lines from books you’re reading or inspirational quotes that resonate with you throughout the year.
Bookstagram Tip: Hand-letter the quotes with brush pens or use a mix of fonts for that artsy look that’ll make your spread shine on Instagram.
8. Book Challenge Tracker
If you’re joining any book challenges in 2025 (think Goodreads challenge, genre challenges, or themed readathons), create a page to track your progress. Draw a bookshelf with numbered spines that correspond to the number of books in your challenge, or make a themed chart that fits the challenge criteria.
Bookstagram Tip: Add a little progress bar or checkboxes under each book title so your followers can see how close you are to reaching your goals.
9. Wishlist & Book Haul Pages
Let’s be honest: we all love a good book haul. Create a wishlist page for books you want to get and a separate page for books you’ve purchased throughout the year. This spread is perfect for keeping track of what’s new on your shelves.
Bookstagram Tip: Draw tiny shopping bags or book stacks and fill them in with the titles as you go—it’s super satisfying to see it fill up!
10. Reading Journal Spread
Take your reading notes to the next level with a reading journal layout. Dedicate a page per book to jot down your thoughts, favorite characters, standout moments, and ratings. It’s like your own little review space that’s way cuter than a regular notebook.
Bookstagram Tip: Add stickers, washi tape, or even print mini book covers to make each page pop. Plus, it makes for an epic “completed reads” post at the end of the year.
11. Mood Tracker
A mood tracker is not only great for your mental health but is also so fun to fill in! Create a theme like books or cups of coffee, and color them in daily to represent your mood. Over time, you’ll see trends that help you understand your emotional patterns.
Bookstagram Tip: Choose color palettes that match your monthly themes for a cohesive look throughout your journal.
12. Daily Planner with Reading Goals
Why not combine your daily to-dos with your reading goals? Create a daily planner spread where you jot down your schedule and add a small section at the bottom for your reading goal of the day. It’s a practical way to stay on track with your busy life while also making time for your favorite hobby.
Bookstagram Tip: Add tiny book icons or doodles for the books you plan to read and check them off when you’re done. It’ll look super cute in those #BuJoFlatLay shots.
13. 2025 Bookshelf Overview
This is your year-long page that serves as an overview of all the books you’ve read in 2025. Draw an entire bookshelf, complete with spines, and write the titles on them as you finish each book. At the end of the year, this will be a stunning snapshot of your reading journey.
Bookstagram Tip: Use colored markers or pencils to rate each book visually on the spine. It’s not just pretty; it’s informative!
14. Aesthetic Monthly Themes
One of the best things about bullet journaling is creating themes that fit your vibe each month. For January, think icy blues and snowflakes; for February, soft pinks and romantic hearts; for summer months, bright yellows and sunflowers. Match your habit trackers, calendar spreads, and reading logs to each theme for a cohesive and stunning look.
Bookstagram Tip: Use washi tape and stickers that complement each theme to make your layouts look next-level.
15. End-of-Year Reflection
When December rolls around, create an end-of-year reflection spread that covers your favorite reads, the goals you achieved, and the lessons learned. Add prompts like “Top 5 Books of the Year,” “Best Bookish Moments,” and “What I’m Grateful For.”
Bookstagram Tip: Snap a photo of your journal open to this spread, surrounded by your favorite reads of the year, and share it with your followers. It’s the perfect wrap-up to the year and a great way to engage with your bookish community.
With these bullet journal setups, your 2025 will be not only organized but also a joy to look at. And remember, journaling isn’t about perfection—it’s about creating a space that inspires you. So grab your pens, markers, and washi tape, and get ready to make 2025 your best year yet!
