I am interested in the art of bullet journalling and this short book proved helpful. I do wish there were more examples in it to help someone who is new Thank you to Netgalley for this free ebook in exchange for an honest review.

The best thing about this book is the inspiration to use bullet journal type colors and drawings as part of studying - the idea behind this book is fantastic. Unfortunately for me, the book did not really deliver up to the promise -- the various sections trying to show how to use this to study specific subjects were generally too high level and generic and the non-specific subject sections often showed signs of promise with some good tips and ideas but did not really deliver much more than a more typical bullet journal tutorial.

I have been bullet journaling for 2 years and it has changed my life, making me more productive and improving my grades, but also keeping me organized with my writing, reading and blogging life. Even if Study With Me is aimed at students, I believe everyone can find this book useful to know the basics of bullet journaling and learn some very helpful hacks. Whether you're just starting with BuJo or just want to improve your bujo game, I highly recommend to read this book.

I really enjoyed this book! It was full of new ideas for spreads for both “regular” bullet journaling and studying. My favorite parts were about organizing your notes for various classes. Study with Me was just what I needed to bring bullet journaling into my studying life!

Not only is this a book and guide I’ll use myself, it’s one I will Incorporate into my teaching and recommend to students. I only wish this had been around when I was in school myself.

I really enjoyed the helpful, simplistic layout of this book. The examples and structures suggested in this book were personally helpful and I implemented a few into my life.
This guide is great for beginners who are starting to explore bullet journaling. I enjoyed this particular bullet journaling book as it incorporated studying methods and education, which is a big part of my life.
I'd recommend this guide to anyone considering starting their own journal. or even just for people who need help with finding a study method that works for them.

Although, I'd say that this book is restricted to beginner journalists and not so much for more those who are more experienced. They could gain more knowledge on the studying aspect, but that's about it, it would be more of a refresh on the basics. In saying this, Shao and Jagan did a great job with this starting guide and I believe they could make an equally great 'sequel' for those who want to further their skills, as opposed to the initial development.

All in all, I really enjoyed this as it was informative, creative and easy to understand.

I’ve watched one of the co-authors, Jasmine’s, YouTube videos for years, so I was really excited to pick this book up. I’m also interested in bullet journaling, so I thought it would be a great read. The pictures were pretty and very descriptive. It had a lot of very useful and interesting ideas, both for bullet journaling and improving your studies. However, I think there was a lot of unnecessary information that was added just to make the book longer, and the tips sometimes just seemed like a random list of things thrown together. However, it’s a very artistic and creative book, and I think it would be a great read for beginning bullet journalers or students who want some tips on how to study.

I thought this was very informative. I found many things that I feel I can implement into my journaling. I am new to bullet journaling so I found a lot of this to be helpful. Although maybe not so much if you are already advanced.

This is a phenomenal guide to taking better notes in various subjects. I wish this had been around when I was a student and had to just make up my own methods (with varying levels of success). Even if someone doesn't completely adopt these suggestions, using just some of these can improve whatever style of note-taking you do.

It was okay. Pretty basic and good for people who have never heard of bullet journal. I'd say it's perfect for beginners but it lacked something for me. I just don't feel like I gained much from reading this...

I am not sure this book knows what it is - is it a studyblr or a book about bullet journaling or... The book is not sure, I wasn't sure. And I also thought that studyblr and studygram and youtube study videos are more than enough. A book is not really necessary.

A fun and informative take on bullet journaling through the lense of studying! Perfect for students in high school and college in particular. Recommended for more specialized "how-to" collections in a library or bookstore.

Nice little book with good ideas if you want to start a bullet journal and don't really know where to start or how to include your school/Uni or other study life moments into your planner in a helpful and realistic way. I was expecting a bit more than the rather typical things one sees when scrolling through the study focused Instagram accounts so I have to say that for me personally this book was neither anything new nor especially helpful, BUT as already mentioned if you are new to the bullet journal style OR new or newly back to incorporating studying into your life and need easy and working ideas on how to include it into your daily life in easy ways this book defintlay has some nice options to get you started without overwhelming you.

This was such a helpful book on how to bullet journal, even if you're not doing it for study. Clearly laid out and easy to follow for a beginner or a more experienced journaler!

This is a great little book about how to get started with bullet journaling, whether for school, organization, goals, or just keeping track of life. The authors are teens, so I am looking forward to sharing it my students of a similar age as not only a how-to but also an encouragement to put their own hobbies and talents out there.

I have been following Jasmine Shao on YouTube for a long time and I have had a bullet journal in the past but I think that if you are new to it, this book is perfect for you! There are so many spread ideas and they are very easy to understand. The study techniques are also really helpful if you are struggling to keep your life together in school!
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for sending me an e-ARC of this book!

Study With Me was a delightful book for readers both familiar and new to bullet journaling, The layout of the book makes it easy to set up your journal and the images a clear and easy to understand. I would have like to see more pages for advanced or experienced bullet journalers as well as more content that isn't already found online. The overall feel of this book would leave anyone inspired to get organized and believe that they too, despite artistic ability, can begin their own bullet journal.
