Thank you Quatro - Rock Point Publishing for this ARC.

This was an attractively illustrated book of lists to prompt further exploration. Perfect for someone wanting an attractive promoting book for beginning to journal, or perhaps a tween-teenager.

The prompts are quite generic to similar books and give limited spacing for anything other than superficial thoughts. It could be good to use in conjunction with a seperate diary to explore the prompts at a deeper level.

This is a really fun way to organise. Taking inspiration from bullet journals, this is definitely on trend at the moment. It's bright and appealing to look at and fun to fill out. I suspect it might be aimed at teenagers but at 31 I found it very useful!

This journal / book of lists is so much cuter inside than the cover hints at that I was very pleasantly surprised when I opened it and started looking through it. Very colorful and cheerful, and it’s just the thing I think my niece’s 4 daughters would enjoy, being teenagers. First, there are some great tips for using it, so check those out (like do it in pencil.)

It is sectioned into lists for things from the past, the present, and I already know they love making lists about the future, as I’ve seen them do it on Facebook enough. There are 100 lists, which I think is just great, on all kinds of topics relating to life. Some of my favorites are: Achievements, Challenges I’ve Overcome, Best Advice, Most Embarrassing Moments, 15 Minute Me Time, My Perfect Day, and dozens more on different topics.

There are prompts to guide you. There are no set rules, the prompts can be used or changed to suit yourself. You can also change from words to doodles if you like, it’s all up to you how you wish to use it.There are a handful of blank pages in the back if you want to try making your own lists and illustrating them. Advance electronic review copy was provided by NetGalley, author Nicole Barlettano, and the publisher.

This is really great. A lot of good ideas in here. Sure to be very popular with the bullet journaling crowd.

This is a good resource for those who bullet journal and/or art journal. There are plenty of prompts with layout ideas. I’m reviewing a digital ARC so I cannot say how well the book itself would work as a journal. But most of the layouts would be very simple to recreate in your own preferred sketchbook or journal.

I’d have given it 5 but some of the prompts seem too similar. There’s a lot of everything here from serious personal issues you need to work through to what you’re watching or reading. A few seemed like they could have used more blank space than is provided in the book while others needed less space (the layout for your dream jobs for example — does anyone really have 18 dream jobs because there’s slots for 18).

Overall, a nice book of prompts and layouts that allow people to jump right into a bullet journal style layout without needing any prior experience. It’s especially good for those who get stumped at the layout aspect as that’s done for you.

Cute little journal. I have seen many books like it, so there's not much unique to it, but I like the way it presents itself.

This book is cute. It's a nice easy start to journaling for someone like me who has lot of thoughts and does not know how to put it on paper. The writing prompts are easy and help me reflect on what I'd like to write down. This book would be much better enjoyed in a hard copy.

This book is a book of list prompts that stem from what the author considers "deep" questions. The problem though is that the categories are so vague, the reader/writer often ends up with writer's block. It's not easy to come up with your most embarrassing moments, because we go through one at least once a week. Not that this book is bad, it just contributes to the white noise of prompt journals.

If you are looking for a creative way to record your life story, don't buy a blank journal - treat yourself to My Life In List!

Each page contains a Journaling prompt and a creatively designed graphic that will aid you in telling your personal story without ever feeling like you are at a loss for words!

If you believe your story is important and that writing about it should be fun, than this book is for you!

I reviewed an e-copy of this book through Netgalley and would be very interested in the print version based on what I saw!

I've been bullet journaling for the last twelve months. Or, if I'm being honest, I've been giving bullet journaling a shot for the last twelve months. I've tried many things with it and I haven't stuck to much of it - I'm changing my layouts every months as I've found that some things stop working for me within days.
The only thing I know for sure is that I love making lists. They help me get my mental health in a better shape, but I don't know how to utilize them to work as smoothly for me as they can. That was the reason I requested this book, I needed some inspiration.
And this one hit the nail right on the head for me. This illustrated journal helped me put so much in perspective, as well as gave me ideas on how to keep going with my own journal. The journal is illustrated really well, the layouts looked really cute, and I liked how it was organized and sectioned. It's a great tool to use if you're feeling stuck with how you plan and keep track of your day - it won't offer you some miracle solution, but it will inspire you. And if you're new to the whole list making as journaling concept, it's a great place to start.

I received this book free from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.
Thanks NetGalley!

I love this book! I can't wait to buy the physical one as opposed to just looking at the arc. This makes it easy to add to a journal or just fill out the lists to know yourself.

Honest and in-depth advice for reaching your full potential. This advice is presented in easy to follow language that can be broken up and applied in pieces at a time.

Lots of ideas for lists, lots of inspiration, but I think I kind of wanted a bit more about lists and how the author uses them. Not super into the aesthetic though.

My Life in Lists is a new guide to illustrated journaling with gentle suggestions by Nicole Barlettano. Released 7th May 2019 by Quarto on their Rock Point imprint, it's 128 pages and available in paperback format.

I love journaling and notebooks, but I have a hard time starting to write in a new notebook. I love buying new ones (with all the best intentions, obviously), but they wind up sitting in a collection on my bookshelf. This book aims to gently move stuck writers in the right direction; putting pen to paper by including guided lists of fill-in-yourself illustrated pages. It reminds me quite a lot of an adult version of the ubiquitous 'baby book' that everyone gets when they announce a pregnancy.

There are a number of different types of lists: things which happened in the past to you, things you want to achieve, lists for the present, important dates, anniversaries and birthdays, and many others.

The illustrated pages are very pretty and pastel with nice layouts which are easy on the eyes. They also would lend themselves very well to drawing by hand in another journal with personalizations included.

Four stars, very cute. It would make a nice gift/hostess gift.

This colorful book guides you through processing your past, present, and future by a variety of lists. Here is a place to write down your goals, your favorite TV shows, and your bucket list. My Life is Lists is great when you are confused about everything in life and don't know where to start. These simple activities get you starting organizing what you want for your life.

If you’re like me and you love making lists, then this journal is definitely for you! MY LIFE IN LISTS by Nicole Barlettano is a self-help journal filled with templates and prompts to get your list-making juices flowing. The entire book is centred around making lists. And not just your day-to-day shopping lists. These lists feature prompts that get you thinking about your life, what you like, achievements, memories and so much more!

The My Life in Lists Journal is divided into three sections: Lists about Your Past, Lists for the Present You and Lists to Plan Your Future. This way you get to note down your memories, focus on your present and plan for your future. To make it even more valuable, each page has a beautiful illustrated template where the list-making happens. Squares, bubbles, lines and various other illustrations are created to keep the lists organized. This journal features 100 illustrations and 5 blank pages where you can create and illustrate your own lists!

Some of my favorite lists:
The best decisions I ever made
How I spend my free time
Brain Bubbles
I am inspired by…
Autumn Bucket List

This is a great book for anyone who likes making lists! It’s also a very thoughtful gift and I definitely plan on getting myself a physical copy. My lists are all over the place, so I look forward to having my thoughts organised and noted in one place (which also happens to be a feast for the eyes!). Also make sure to check out Nicole’s Instagram if you like bullet journal inspiration, because her feed is AMAZING!

* Thank you NetGalley for providing me with this arc in exchange for an honest review.

This is a very visually attractive journal and would make a great gift for any girl or teen. I may use some of the ideas presented here in my own bullet journal!

Things I really like about the book:
- it covers the three main time periods in anyone's life; the past, the present and the future,

- the wide variety of topics covered. Examples in the Past section are achievements, challenges I've overcome, favorite memories, best compliments received, most embarrassing moments, people who have changed me, and words that describe me. Examples in the Present section are traditions, bright ideas, favorite quotes, personal traits, likes, dislikes, favorite places, dream log, books read, priorities, quirks, what motivates me, things that energize me, things that drain me, and skills. The Future contains such topics as short-term goals, long-term goals, bucket lists (personal, by season, travel, lifetime), want to try, want to be known for, vision board, bad habits to break, wish list etc.

- that some things are fun and some are more serious,

- that every page is visually different,

- that empty pages are provided to make your own lists.

I thinks Nicole Barlettano did a great job putting this together!

Many thanks to NetGalley and Rock Point for allowing me to read a copy of this book in exchange for an unbiased review. All opinions expressed are my own.

I have been following Nicole on Instagram @plansthatblossom for a while. I was so excited to see she was doing a book. It is so beautifully illustrated. I love Bullet Journaling and list making but am so intimidated by the idea of making one, so this is perfect for me. I am so excited to fill mine up. Love this, I think I might give a few as gifts!

This was an interesting book. I thought the information presented was well laid out and flowed well. I really enjoyed reading it and want to try and start implementing some of what I read.

My Life in Lists is a book that prompts you to pay attention to and to take note of a lot of different aspects of your life. It is also really pretty! Pretty lists: a match made in heaven 😍

In My Life in Lists, each page is a different prompt for you to list information. You’ll find pages like Best Advice I Have Ever Received, Bucket Lists, and Milestones. I have been on the lookout for a book like this that not only has fun prompts but also opportunities to list personal favourites. I swear I have the memory of a sieve, because if prompted I cannot tell you what one of my favourite book/movie/songs. So a book like My Life in Lists is not only fun but for sieve-brained me, it’s fun-ctional 😉

Each list and page within My Life in Lists is set out differently and they all look amazing. Some lists are pretty straight forward like Best Advice I Have Received, and others are very intricate and cute, like the Favourite Quote and My Library page.

RECOMMENDATIONS

Okay, so I received a digital copy of this book to review and after I finished reading through the book – I immediately went and preordered a physical copy. If that isn’t enough of a recommendation for you, then I don’t know what is 😋

If you like writing lists and if you really like cute visuals, then My Life in Lists is for you!

Please note: I received a copy of My Life in Lists from NetGalley.
