About The Book

Hosts of the hit podcast Reading Glasses bring you the only reading journal you’ll ever need, designed to help book lovers read, rant, and reflect with undeniable ease. No stress. No pressure.

Brea and Mallory, passionate bibliophiles, and hosts of the Reading Glasses podcast are not too shy to admit that the book-lovers community can easily get a bit snobby and pretentious. Many people with the desire to read get lost in the smog of countless sources commanding how much you should be reading and what you must keep on your shelves. Take in a breath of fresh air with The No-Pressure Book Journal. This journal is carefully designed to help people read better by finding and achieving their reading goals without any guilt, shame, or pressure.

Along with plenty of space to track your reading, The No-Pressure Book Journal offers unique prompts, thoughtful essays on reading topics (like how to “dump” a book when you just aren’t feeling it, without a hint of remorse!), and dedicated sections to record all your exciting and insightful reading reflections. This is the perfect journal for readers—from those who speed through their TBR lists on the regular, to those who just thought, what is a TBR list?

Elevate your reading and writing life, on your own schedule and at your own pace, with The No-Pressure Book Journal.

HELPFUL ESSAYS WITH BOOK-LOVER ADVICE: Brea and Mallory have organized their expert reading advice into thoughtful essays that give insight on finding time for reading amongst a busy schedule, embracing your favorite “weird” genres, and exiting a book slump that seems endless

A READING TRACKER: Keep track of your reading habits with your personalized reading tracker that allows you to rate, organize, and reflect on the books you read throughout the year
