Some of life’s pleasures come from getting lost in a good story. For Day 14 of Thankful 30, I’m celebrating one of my favorites: cozy mysteries!
Today’s prompt is: What is your favorite book or story?
Rather than choosing just one book, I’m documenting a whole genre I enjoy. I love listening to cozy mysteries in audiobook format and usually listen to five or six each month. That’s a lot of stories bringing a little joy to my everyday life!
A colorful page for a favorite pastime
For this Scrap Journal layout, I used a bright, book-inspired background and a collage of book covers made using my scrap cardstock. The colorful paper books set the scene, while the collage helps tell the story of my reading interests.
A short journaling block records my love of cozy mysteries and audiobooks. It’s a simple detail, but years from now, this page will be a reminder of the stories I enjoyed and how I liked to experience them.

What story would you celebrate?
Your answer to today’s prompt might be a childhood book, a favorite series, a meaningful family story, or an author whose books you always look forward to reading. You can also celebrate a whole genre, just as I’ve done here.
If you don’t have a photo for this prompt, a picture of a book cover, a reading spot, or a handwritten title can help tell your story.
