Sprout Bookmark
These bookmarks hit all the “marks” for me. They bring to mind days gone by with the same vibe of the “checkout” cards that were in books when I was a kid. They are aesthetically pleasing and available in a variety of coordinated colors. And best of ...
I love the idea of a book journal, but I would definitely be better at maintaining a more “simple” list like this one. It's handy, short and sweet when it comes to record keeping, and an easily storable record of books read from year to year.

Pastel Books on Bookcase Shelves Chic Black Tote Bag
I know it's similar to the Richard Scarry bag, but when I stumbled upon this today on Bookshop.org, I just HAD to add it.
In my house today, we have TWO copies of this book. One is my copy from when I was little, and the other is my husband's copy from when he was a child growing up on Sesame Street.
What can I say, it is a CLASSIC!!

I found lots of book counters for sale on Etsy, but this listing stood out because the organizer in me LOVES the included drawer to store the unused dice. I also love the option for a personalized counter or a general one for the whole family.
I have a lot of friends who keep count of the number of books they read each year, and I KNOW this would be a lot of fun for young, eager readers too!

Personalized Books Read This Year Counter Bookshelf Decor with Drawer - Books Read Tracker Library Sign - 3D Printed Bookish Decor
This is a truly unique gift I found while researching for this list. The little books all lined up on the cute white shelves make my heart happy.
Then if you watch the video, she shakes it up and causes a mess! ACK! lol
I suppose for some, though, this “interactive” decor could be quite therapeutic as you “decorate” the shelves time and time again.
I would probably leave mine set up all the time to admire, but I have to give this one points for truly being one-of-a-kind.

Reader's Journals/Diaries
It probably comes as no surprise that many readers also enjoy writing. But even if they don't, they might enjoy recording their thoughts or even brief notes on the many books they read. Below you'll find a variety of reader journals, from those that ...
The avid reader can record his or her thoughts on 100 books in this book journal. With questions to consider, a place to record their favorite quotes, and “free space” for each book, they can truly make it theirs.
A TIP: Bookshop.org is a fantastic place to purchase your books. They are a B Corp and give back to local independent bookstores! I love them. However, they don't have as many accompanying photos as you'll find on the A-guy website I'm not going to mention or link to o...

Vintage Books and Roses Reader's Journal Diary
Like the last notebook, this one was made by me and is wide open for readers who prefer a simple journal without prompts and questions to answer.
I love this quote by Emily Dickinson, and I think it could work well who may enjoy reading non-fiction or who is on a journey of self-growth. And that last bit is pretty much all of us, right?!
