Elaine Howlin – Lost in the pages of books.
Welcome to my blog!
I started this blog in 2018 to gush over books with whoever would listen. The blog has evolved since then, but I’m still pretty rooted in my love of all things bookish. Now you’ll find me gushing over reading journals, junk journals, planners, and books! If those things interest you, then please follow along and let’s geek out over our bookish joys together.
For more content, visit my YouTube, and if you want to make some of the things I create, check out my Etsy and Ko-fi.
Thank you so much for visiting my blog! It means the world that you’ve taken the time to stop by.
