I’ve had quite a few people reach out to me for book recommendations on art journaling. It can be difficult to choose after all, as there is such a plethora of books available on the market! But picking the right books can really ignite your love for art and art journaling.

It’s also very easy to pick books that are very similar in terms of content and scope, and that can make all of them feel repetitive and also a little bit frustrating. To pre-empt that, I’ve chosen these books because they’re significantly different from each other in terms of their scope and approach to journaling.
