May 2021 Reading Bullet Journal Setup

I hope you had a nice month. Today I’m sharing my bullet journal setup for May. I went for a vintage hot air balloon theme using my Antiquarian sticker book. I hope you like it 🙂

Title page and first lines

I used my Antiquarian sticker book for this theme. I kept things pretty simple, but added a bit of drama by using black paper as a background for most of the left page. I also added some washi tape to decorate a bit more.

TBR and books read

I wrote the headings on black paper and added a hot air balloon sticker and some washi tape down the middle to decorate.

Favorite quotes of the month

I went for a really simple spread here, using the same black paper for the heading, a hot air balloon sticker in the middle and some washi tape to decorate the spread.

Reading review (with stats) and favorite book of the month

This is a somewhat busier spread. I added a few more stickers here as well as a bunch of washi tape and I wrote some parts of the headings in gold to add a bit of variety.

Good things spread

Since the hot air balloon sticker I used on the left side of the spread is so large, I wanted to balance it by adding more to the right side of the spread.

Bad things spread

This is another simple spread. I pretty much just used a whole bunch of washi tape here and one small sticker to decorate.

Characters spread

I used another somewhat larger sticker here (not a hot air balloon since I ran out of those, but still vintage travel themed). I balanced the busier left side of the spread with more washi tape and another sticker on the right.

Supplies:

In general, I buy my supplies from Amazon, Etsy, Michael’s, Aliexpress and my local dollar store.

I try my best to find links to what I used, but often things sell out. I’ll try to find similar items or the same items somewhere else if that happens.
