Welcome to my First Chapters Journal project page. If you’re new, my First Chapters Journal project is where I’m transcribing the first chapters (sometimes two) of my favorite books. I’m using it as a reason to revisit favorite books, as a journaling/mindfulness practice, and as a way to play with all of my stationery (particularly fountain pens and inks).
On this page, you’ll find the list of books I have done along with the supplies used and some possibly helpful links. If you want to see some of these pages, I highly recommend checking out my Instagram or TikTok account.
This page will be periodically updated. If you’re looking for information about a specific book from my journal not listed yet, please let me know! (Note: Any Amazon links on this page are affiliate links. All other links are provided for your convenience.)
