10 Bookish Planners

As summer comes to an end, it’s an important time of renewal. In addition to the start of a new academic school year, it’s the end of summer in the Northern Hemisphere and the start of all the trees shedding their leaves in preparation to grow again. The beginning of the school year was always exciting to me due in no small part to the acquisition of paper products and stationary. I loved a set of freshly sharpened pencils, a clean planner, and college-ruled notebooks. I also enjoyed arguing about my notebook and folder color-coding system with my friends. Math notebooks were always light blue—I refused to budge on that. As an adult, it’s just as fun to plan the beginning of your fall with bookish planners.

When looking for a planner as an adult, I like one with a bit of personality and cuteness. Writing things down is the best way for me to remember things, and I have to make time to write down my various appointments and tasks. More importantly, I have to want to make time, and I strongly believe that a quirky planner is the perfect way to make that happen. I also think they’re always a useful present for the holidays if you’re planning ahead. It’s the time of year to explore bookish planners, academic planners, and writing planners for all your author and book nerd friends.
