 name is Laura. This is my channel Lord's Little Library and welcome to today's video which is my September bullet journal. I'm sorry this video is a little late but hopefully I will be caught up right after this and we can resume our regularly programmed videos and themes and everything like that. So I'm just at the end of my cinnamon pumpkin muffin candle. I'm so sad to see it go but hopefully that means I can get a new one soon. So as I said before the theme for this video is pumpkins. I decided to keep the title page pretty open and just kind of simple. I decided that there weren't going to be all orange pumpkins. They're all gonna be different fall colors just to try and make it less monotone as I've struggled with in the past with some of my themes so I just pulled a bunch of my more fall style colors and went with those. Again I'm starting off with my calendar spread as I like to have it. At the beginning of every month's spread this month I hope it will be a little bit better space than last month. This is where I keep track of all of the book releases that come out during the month or readathons or other special book events that happen at any point throughout the month. Again this spread is a little more on the simpler side. It's more about having a clear open calendar and then just having a few pumpkins above my notes section and just here and there throughout the pages. Moving on the next spread is my TBR and I'm continuing the way I set it up as I have the past couple months by having three sections, the top section being my immediate monthly TBR, middle section being all the audiobooks that I've gotten from the library or will be getting throughout the month, and then the bottom section to be my seasonal TBR. Sometimes a lot of these books will overlap even have one book on all three but that's okay that's just more to mark off when I'm done. I really liked the structure of it being a bookshelf when I did it before and just any other structure is a little more difficult so I decided that I would try out doing another bookshelf but with the theme of pumpkins on the shelf to make it still part of the pumpkin themed spread. Hopefully that is something I can continue to do with all of my future spreads just because like I said I like the way that this organizes and makes everything clear but it's still pretty foldable to whatever spread prompt theme I choose to do in the future. The next two pages blank because one page will be for my spooky season spectacular that I am hosting right now. I just... I had no idea I wanted to organize it yet so I wanted to leave it open until I had a better idea and then the next page I left open for any other September read-a-thons that I might be interested in participating in later in the month otherwise it's a place that I can track all of the October ones coming up because there are always a lot of October read-a-thons so I wanted to have a place to keep those in mind and then as you can see my books read is just going to be one giant pumpkin just for me to write all the names of the books that I've read and then we move on to my rankings page and books to buy page I like having these combined it takes up less space in the book it's just more efficient so I rank my top three favorite books and my least favorite with various jack-o-lanterns and then my books to buy it keeps track of my book budget how much I'm allowed to spend each month if I save from one month to the next and then the next month total of how much I'm allowed to spend on books I like to brainstorm what I'm hoping to purchase the next month and then I have a general brainstorm of books coming up or themed books or anything that might relate to a video so next up is my YouTube spread so again all of my social media spreads will be fairly basic in terms of having the same structure that I've been doing and then just adding pumpkins in here there to decorate as you may be able to tell my YouTube spread it's already pretty filled out because I've been doing so much work trying to catch up on videos this past month I just couldn't wait for the spread to be done and I needed somewhere to put my thoughts so I planned out the page and started using it but now it looks a lot nicer and I can truly keep track of what videos I filmed edited and what ones are posted and all ready to go so I am keeping track for September and October because those are some pretty busy months then I can brainstorm down below Instagram has also had somewhat of a change in how I set it up so the top box will continue to be like books I read through the month that I want to post a review for on my Instagram but instead of keeping track of what kind of post it will be when I post it and if I've posted it or not I'm writing a little more of a generic plan it gives me more space to brainstorm and figure out how I want to do things and at the bottom is a place for me to plan other posts that aren't just reviews so posts of stacks or themed or aesthetic posts just anything else that could go on or even post for readathons that have Instagram challenges now Twitter and TikTok are pretty much the same I just decided to do pumpkins with all their little logos on them and it's just an open space for me to brainstorm I don't always fill these out very well but I still like to have them there just in case I think of an idea then I can use as much space as possible in order to capture all of my thoughts and this is the finished product of my September bullet journal I think it turned out fairly well I like how all the colors are actually fall themed so even if it's a little more minimal of it being pumpkins it still kind of looks nice and interesting maybe not my book's red page but it'll look nice when it's all filled up with all the books that I've read this month I really liked the little jack-o-lantern for my least favorite book that guy makes me smile even though he's not very happy anyway that is it for this video thank you so much for watching if you like to give feel free to give me a thumbs up I will go back to posting videos on Sundays and Wednesdays I also have bookish social media linked down below and until I see you all in the next video I wish you happy reading
