I use a different app for the layout, but I count messing about with it as a separate hobby. I find it relaxing by itself so it’s become an important part of the process.

I probably get a little too invested in how my journal looks but for me that’s part of the process. I create digital art journal pages so I can rearrange and resize things until I like the way they look.

I keep everything in chronological order and usually just put the review on a different coloured background. I like the idea that my opinion of a book is coloured by whatever else is going on in my life so keeping it in order makes sense and it means I can explain to myself why a re-read might hit different later.

I have a digital scrapbook for a journal though so things are easy to insert and re-sort compared to a paper notebook.
