A beautifully simple way to track your reading life, made with Black women and women of colour in mind.
You read for joy. For rest. For healing. For answers.
And sometimes you finish a book and think… wait, what was that line that cracked me open?
What did I learn? What did it shift in me? Why did it matter?
Rooted in Reading is your space to remember.
A clean, guided journal that helps you track what you’re reading, reflect as you go, and archive your thoughts, so your reading life doesn’t disappear into a blur of book covers and half-remembered plots.
If you’ve ever said…
- “I know I loved that book but I can’t explain why.”
- “I keep screenshots of quotes… somewhere.”
- “My TBR is growing faster than my memory.”
- “I want to be more intentional with what I read.”
This journal is for you.
Rooted in Reading helps you slow down, without making journaling feel like homework.
What this journal helps you do:
- Stay organized with what you’re reading (and what you want to read)
- Track your progress and actually celebrate your finishes
- Capture key takeaways so you remember what moved you
- Reflect deeper—themes, feelings, questions, growth
- Build your personal reading archive (your bookshelf, but in words)
Because reading isn’t just consumption.
It’s a connection. It’s becoming.
Made for readers like us
This journal was inspired by the This Black Girl Reads community and created with Black women and women of colour at the centre, because our reading journeys are layered:
We read across the diaspora.
We read for mirrors and windows.
We read for softness and survival.
We read to remember ourselves.
And we deserve a space that holds all of that.
That said, if you’re a reader who wants to be more intentional, you’re welcome here too.
Designed with intention
Simple. Clean. Beautiful.
A calm place to track your books, your thoughts, and your growth—all in one spot.
