Yearly Book Tracking Coloring Sheet

Original post made 2/1/24

Last year (2023) I started tracking my reading even more than I ever had before and I found that I really liked it. I started posting at the end of the month what books I read on a fun tracking sheet (I made my own set this year that you can find here https://www.storybookem.com/post/reading-wrap-up-templates ) and I started recording my reads on a coloring page that I printed off from online. I had no plans for what I was going to do with the print out after the year. I didn't even have much faith that I would keep up on it through the whole year but, believe it or not, I did...mostly. (I seem to have accidently skipped a few books when coloring in the page but most of them are there). My favorite part was that I even found something fun to do with it. I put it in a frame and hung it on the wall of my library. I plan to switch it out each year with the sheet from last year.

So, this year, I decided to make my own to use! I wanted one that had at least 100 books on it (I came in at 112) and had decoration on the shelves. While I really wanted more colorable items on the shelves, I was pretty happy with what I got. I'm also pretty happy that the book spines are bigger on mine, so I can write the titles on easier. Let's face it, my 2023 reads are kind of hard to read.

So, I thought I'd share it for all of you! Feel free to print it to use for your own reading. This log was designed to fit on a 8x10 piece of paper. Don't worry about filling in every book spine. It just means your shelves have some room for new experiences in the year 2025! Happy reading everyone!
