I found it pretty fun to flip through. I didn't read everything, just because I'm quite familiar with bullet journaling, but this is a great starting point for anyone.

A good introduction to bullet journaling for those who want to use it as a studying tool or integrating it in planning and school. The reader learns the basics of bullet journaling and some examples for a few classes one may be involved in.

I have been following Jasmine Shao on YouTube for a while now and have been excited to read this book ever since she announced it. Sadly, this book didn't really do much for me as I'm a university student and have been watching studytube since high school. I have figured out my planning and studying routine for the most part but I think this would be really helpful for freshmans in high school. I remember feeling very overwhelmed when I first entered high school and didn't really know what to do and how to do those things most productively and in that time I first discovered the bullet journal and studying community on YouTube and it was very, very helpful for me at the time. I think this is a great summary and introduction to all the things that are out there and would be a great introduction to the community for a struggling freshman, and that's why I still gave this a high rating. This book is very understandable and gives a lot of examples. It also just gives a lot of different tips for each subject and most tips are also applicable to more than one course. It also encourages you to go and find what works best for you and to keep adapting until it works perfectly for you. I also really liked the fact that the two authors encouraged the reader a lot to get help from teachers if they're really stuck on things. It's just a guide by teens for teens and never looks down upon them and that's mainly why I highly recommend this book for every struggling teen.

This book has some really good studying tips and things to help you to remember and it really made me want to learn how to bullet journal and start that for the new year.

Great workbook for students who need a bit more structure and enjoy testing out new systems of learning. I do think it's a little basic in its scope, but still very useful.

If you are new to bullet journaling and want to start, this book is perfect for you! You will learn how to draw a calendar or a to-do list that suits your needs, whether it's for school, gym schedule, or reading list - this book is here to help.

Study With Me is a short, fun, informative book about bullet journalling, study techniques, etc. It’s full is great tips and information relating to bullet journalling (and tons of ideas for headers, lettering, etc!) as well as subject specific study guides/suggestions; I’ve never seen any book which had so many sections dedicated to different kinds of subjects! I highly recommend getting a copy, and to top it off it’s written by two amazing and inspirational teenagers.

Overall this is a nice introduction to the world of bullet journaling, but probably one suitable only to absolute beginners. As someone who has used a bullet journal (in a practical sense only - mine is NOT arty or beautiful like any of the pages shown in this book!) I would have liked to see a wider variety of spreads. For example, there is only one weekly spread shown in the book and although explained nicely, I feel it would have been useful to include a few different styles of weekly spread in order to give an idea of how a bullet journal can work in different ways for different people. That being said, the variety of ideas of how to write notes for different subjects is excellent. I certainly picked up a few new ideas and I'm certain that even some of the most dedicated bullet journal users could find something new! Overall, the book is very nicely presented and naturally the spreads shown throughout are beautiful.
I would probably recommend this book to GCSE pupils, A-level pupils and possibly even university students struggling to find their style of note-taking.

New (additional) review posted to my homeschooling web site:

A newly released #studygram inspired book offers great inspiration for students to use bullet journals for studying, and can also be used by homeschool parents for bujo ideas for kids.

Study with Me: Effective Bullet Journaling Techniques, Habits, and Hacks To Be Successful, Productive, and Organized was released this month and I was lucky enough to read a digital Advanced Readers Copy.

As a homeschooling mom who regularly does bullet journaling, I was excited to read this book. I really enjoyed parts of it, such as the examples of how the authors used bullet journaling in each subject (trigonometry to French and much more).

The authors do a great job of explaining how to get started bullet journaling, what you need, how not to overwhelm yourself, how to fix mistakes, etc.

I also liked the tips on how to make great fonts, doodles, etc.

Kids who need handwriting practice might really like the section on how to improve your handwriting with many pages of fun sample fonts, too.

This is designed for college students or possibly high school students, but it could easily be used for younger ages.

A lot of the sample spreads could be used for homeschool kids’ bullet journals or for notebooking. There are some great ideas for history, calculus, foreign language and much more.

They give a lot of helpful tips, like instead of trying to draw maps to just print them out and paste them in your bullet journal. I love the idea of using little post-it note strips to practice labeling countries.

I would have loved even more pages of examples and sample layouts. Each subject had one example page and listed other ideas for bullet journaling in that subject but I would have loved more. There were examples of a great variety of subjects, though, with a sample for each and then more ideas for possible spreads.

I didn’t see any pages of spreads to show things like tracking, which I do often (for instance, here are a couple of fun trackers I made for homeschool tracking.

I love seeing example pages that are very artistic and creative, and would have loved some more inspiration in that way.

All that said, this is a great tool for teens, college students, homeschoolers and more. I really enjoyed getting ideas for ways to make more bujos for various subjects and how to help my kids use bullet journaling for their homeschooling.

Study with Me retails at $17.99 (though it’s generally discounted on sites like Amazon) and is 112 pages. You may be able to find it at your local library, too.

Note: I read a temporary digital ARC of this book for the purpose of review.

It's no secret that I continuously try and fail at bullet journaling. I keep trying ways and spreads and all these things that I just don't seem to keep up with. I've tried the artsy way, with spreads with themes and color, I tried the minimalistic way, where I just kept lists and that seemed to work pretty good until it didn't.
So I'm always up for trying something new when it comes to bujoing, because I know how much I get done and how much better I feel in the moments when I'm successful with it.
Study with Me is amazing. It gives a great introduction to bullet journal, but it keeps it's focus on offering ideas for spreads and techniques that you can customize to suit your needs. While it's primarily aimed at students, it's already given me ideas on things I can try to finally tackle time management, something I've been struggling with as of late, and with that it's inspired me to give bujo another go. It also tackles beautifying your spreads, giving great advice on it.
I think it's a great book to have as reference if you bullet journal, and especially if you're a student who bullet journals.

This is a great Book for anyone who wants to start with a bulletine Book, especially students.

You learn a lot how to focus on your goals and how to style your book.

Me and my daughters liked this book a lot.

With so many bullet journal blogs and books out there, it's hard to find ones that stand out from the crowd. This one does! Not only does it have examples of calendars and diary layouts, It gives you ways to structure a bullet journal for different kinds of classes (economics, algebra, history, etc.)I wish I had this book in high school!

I loved, loved, loved this book!
I am not that new to bullet journaling, but I always love when I can learn something new about it and how to use it in a more productive way which will help me to increase my productivity and to stay more organized.
As I need to balance my work and studying for school this was a perfect book for me to help improve my studying and to balance out everything I need to get done in time.

This book was as advertised, and I mean that in a good way. It was easy to follow, a breeze to read, and fun. I love how it's broken down into different subject matters.

Even though I'm not currently a student, I still found the foreign language part helpful, because I'm trying to learn other languages. Whenever I see beautiful bullet journals on Instagram, I'm mystified as to how people even start, because there are so many different techniques, ideas, and ways. But it's broken down very simply in this book, and while it uses mainly the classic bullet journal techniques, a point was made about making it unique to the user.

I honestly sped through this book and finished it in one sitting, which was partially because it had illustrations, but also because the flow of the book was great. The only thing I'd say is I'd even want a longer book, with more examples and drawings, but that could be a personal thing. I think this is probably plenty of content for most people. I'm really into journalling and looking at journals. It's a great book, and I love how it brought a behind-the-scenes look at how the #studygram influencers work their magic.

This is honestly perfect for an expert procrastinator like myself! I love the use of a bullet journal and honestly this is so handy for university!

I had heard of bullet journaling but never knew what it was.
The book's creators talk you through creating a bullet journal and is filled with drawn images to get your creative juices flowing. It's goes over everything you need to use journaling to manage your school and social life. I came away truly understanding bullet journaling and why it's so useful.
Overall, this isn't my thing; there were sections that II would use, The issue on health is something I will be taking to my own journal. But just because I'm not a bullet journalist doesn't mean other won't be and I would recommend this book to anyone interested in getting started.

This is such a good idea for a book, it includes most (if not all) necessary "facts" about bullet journaling and how to begin. With that said, it's easy to understand and easy to find the crucial things when it comes to bullet journaling, which IS a fantastic method of organizing your life in a creative kind of way.

I’ve always doubted whether to start a bullet journal or not. Knowing I’m not as consequent in keeping up with journals, I never really tried using a bullet journal. But after reading this book, I immediately bought myself a bullet journal and some good pens. I flagged so many pages to go back to while filling in my bullet journal, as they provide a lot of good and fun tips. This book has taught me new ways of planning and taking notes, it was really useful and also a fun read!

I give this book 3,5 out of 5 stars.

I enjoyed this bullet journal guide. I've been following Jasmine (studyquill) for a few months and I've always enjoyed her videos and stuff. It's great to see that she has come up with a book about bullet journaling.
I believe this book is perfect for students (high school or college) because it gives such amazing tips on how to organize your journal and keep track of everything in your life. I would highly recommend it. I wish I had discovered bullet journaling when I was still in school/university.

Thank you to NetGalley and Quarry Books for sending me a free ARC copy in exchange for an honest review.

Study with Me is the type of book I wish I would have been able to find when I was in middle and high school. It has a lot of promise, but unfortunately I don’t think it has reached its full potential yet. I’ve been bullet journaling for several years and I can see how this book could be helpful for those just starting out who haven’t discovered Ryder Carroll (who created bullet journaling, by the way) or don’t think bullet journaling is accessible (here’s a hint: it’s 100% customizable to your needs!).

Before I dive into what didn’t work for me, I do want to mention how Study with Me encourages everyone to bullet journal and shows how accessible it can be, whether you’re looking to add more flair to your current spreads or try bullet journaling out for the first time. The authors also share some helpful tips and tricks when it comes to studying.

Now, for the not so great parts (I’ve sent my full comments on to the publisher through NetGalley, so these are only some of the issues).

In general, I don’t think these authors had a clear view of who they wanted their audience to be. Some parts seemed geared towards people who had previously failed at bullet journaling and other seemed geared for bullet journal aficionados, with no really continuity between them. Study tips ranged from helpful and unique to much too basic to be included in this book. It seemed like the advice alternated between specific tips for planner lovers and advice for people who’ve never picked a journal up in their life, which made the book pretty clunky. For either group, the level of detail is not sufficient (it’s not enough information for beginners and it’s much too general for those looking for serious suggestions).

I liked the idea of including subject-specific spreads and study suggestions, but each subject didn’t receive much space (in general, 2 pages including 1-2 photos with some exceptions), and the level of detail between subjects was extremely varied. I don’t think enough space was given to each subject and I wish there was more uniformity to how in-depth examples and spread suggestions were. Several subjects seemed to miss key points (such as, has anyone ever had a foreign language class that didn’t stress the importance of verbs and verb tenses? In the book the authors choose to focus on vocabulary spreads instead). It made me feel like the authors were adding subjects because they wanted to include them without having a good grasp of the subject matter (or just limited experience) or doing the proper research to find out what would be the most beneficial.

Study with Me is 112 pages, including photos, at the cost of detailed information. I think it should have been closer to 200 pages to properly cover the information hinted at. In multiple cases it seemed information had been cut in order to make room for a photo, which means most of the text in the book is a general overview of possibilities and not much substance. I think Study with Me could have spent more time on how the reader could identify their specific bullet journaling needs and how to use the information they’re given and less time on general information.

If you’re looking for specific bullet journal ideas I would recommend searching Instagram, Pinterest, and YouTube to start with, over picking up Study with Me. If you’re looking for general bullet journal information, Ryder Carroll’s book The Bullet Journal Method goes much more in-depth of how to get into bullet journaling and customizing it for your own needs.

Overall, even though it’s not quite where it needs to be, I am glad to see a book like this finally getting made and I hope to see it flourish in the future. Thank you again to NetGalley and Quarry Books for the privilege of reviewing an ARC.
