Review: nice, thick and quality journal - Nice notebook! I'm an avid notetaker at church, and this is exactly what I thought it was! I was actually recommended these by a friend because the notebook lies flat (floating spine), doesn't smear pen ink, and has quality paper. Bonus points for the ribbon marker, folder in the back, and bonus tab stickers. The cover feels smooth and leathery - hard to damage, too! I have no critiques - would buy again.
Review: Favorite Daily Carry Notebook - Went with this notebook for two reasons. 1: It's way more affordable than a Moleskine. 2: It has pretty thick paper with grid lines (and at the time of purchase I couldn't really find any). I'm so happy I went with this notebook because it's strong enough to hold several layers of other paper to use comfortably as a scrap book and it can hold most of my ink pens. Pages are smooth and I love the double ribbon for place holding. The cover is also PERFECT for stickers. (Although I haven't tried acrylic markers yet, I'm hoping it holds up.) I will say that it does have some issues with ghosting, but not bleeding with some ink pens, but I don't have a particular problem with that personally. I also like using alcohol markers in this, but it definitely will bleed through. Again, I have no problems with this personally, just thought it was worth a mention. Another thing about this notebook that I love is that it has room for everything I need and then some. I bought this notebook around April 2024 and still have so much space coming into the end of the year despite using it pretty much every day. Highly, HIGHLY recommend to other notebook users who would rather customize their own journaling experience to their own needs instead of purchasing a ready-to-go yearly/monthly/weekly/daily planner.

## Features

- Ultra-Smooth 120GSM Premium Writing - 120GSM acid-free ivory paper is thicker than standard notebook paper, resisting ink bleeding, ghosting and feathering for all pens. Every stroke glides effortlessly, turning note-taking and journaling into a truly enjoyable daily experience.

- Durable Stylish Faux Leather Hardcover - Water-resistant premium faux leather hardcover protects inner pages from scuffs, spills and wear, built to stand the test of daily use. Sturdy thread-sewn binding ensures long-lasting durability, a timeless and reliable companion for years to come.
- Thoughtful Design for Comfort & Convenience - 180° lay-flat binding enables effortless writing for left/right-handed users; comes with 2 ribbon bookmarks, elastic closure, pen loop, inner pocket and index stickers. A5 (5.75"x8.38") compact size fits perfectly in bags/purses, your on-the-go writing essential.
- Versatile Companion & Heartfelt Gift - Perfect for professionals, students, writers and travelers—ideal for meeting minutes, lecture notes, daily journaling, travel memories and creative writing.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Quality & Functional Style
*by M***. on February 14, 2024*

I am an avid writer and use my journal multiple times a day. I purchased this notebook to be my new journal in Dec 2023 and am about halfway through it in Feb 2024. The pleather hardcover feels smooth and sturdy and protects the pages quite well. I travel with this notebook in my purse and backpack every time I leave the house and it’s held up nicely with wear and tear. The texture makes it perfect for adding stickers to decorate and I haven’t had any issues with the stickers falling off even with minor damage. It comes with 2 ribbons to mark pages as well as a pocket with bonus colored sticker tabs. The pages are thick and I haven’t had any issues with bleeding ink. I use a 0.7mm and 1.0mm zebra gel pen for reference. The close up picture shows how well the ink absorbs into the page and doesn’t show any bleed through from the other side (please note there is very minor visibility of the flip side of the page as this is a very zoomed in image and a thick gel ink was used). The pen holder that’s built into the side of the notebook has also held up nicely with my constant pushing and pulling out my pen. Overall the quality of the notebook is excellent and it’s very functional for my journaling needs with gel pens. I am definitely purchasing this brand of notebook again as I’m rather picky with my journaling books.
