A good girls guide to murder journal collage

Ever since I first dove into 'A Good Girl's Guide to Murder,' I couldn't stop thinking about Pip's dedication and how she pieced everything together. That's what inspired me to create my own AGGGTM journal collage – a real-life investigation board aesthetic right in my bullet journal! It's not just a craft; it's a way to immerse yourself even deeper into Holly Jackson's brilliant series. If you're looking to make your own 'evidence board' or 'investigation board' for the series, here’s how I approached it and what I found helpful. First, I spent ages on Pinterest (search for 'agggtm aesthetic pinterest' for tons of ideas!) gathering inspiration. I looked for crime scene photos, vintage newspaper clippings, and even real-life detective boards. The goal is to make it look like Pip herself painstakingly put it together. One of the absolute must-haves is a 'missing person poster for Andie Bell.' I found some great fan-made templates online, or you can even design a simple one yourself with her photo and 'MISSING' text. Don't forget key character names like Pip Fitz-Amobi, Ravi Singh, Sal Singh, and even secondary but crucial figures like Howie Bowers. You can create small profile cards for each, noting their connections and alibis. Including small printouts of the book covers for 'A Good Girl's Guide to Murder,' 'Good Girl, Bad Blood,' and 'As Good As Dead' also ties the whole series together visually. To get that true crime-solving vibe, incorporate some iconic crime-themed quotes. Think 'Trust no one,' 'Dead Girl Walking,' or even lines directly from the books that highlight Pip’s journey. Handwritten notes are key – messy, urgent, circled words, question marks. I love using different colored pens to categorize thoughts, just like a real detective might. Maps of Fairview, timelines of events, and even suspect lists add so much depth. You can distress paper with tea or coffee stains for an aged look and use red string or tiny pins to connect clues, just like you see in detective shows. Creating this kind of book journal isn't just a fun craft; it actually helps me remember plot points and character arcs better. It feels like I’m right there with Pip, solving the mystery. And if you've devoured the entire 'A Good Girl's Guide' book series and are hungry for more, I highly recommend checking out books like Karen M. McManus’s 'One of Us Is Lying' series or Chelsea Pitcher's 'This Lie Will Kill You' for similar thrilling YA mysteries. Happy journaling and happy sleuthing!
