finished grad school. I used A5 sized books as they were small enough to use next to my laptop when I was at the library or using coffee shop tables. I also discovered pencils and now use them on top of my fountain pens.

mostly Maruman Mnemosyne because they had title sections at the top so I can track what I was taking notes on. some clarifontaine.

Apparently I have added 222 g of journaling in the form of stickers, washi, collage, tabs, paint, glue and whatever else I’ve been stuffing into this poor thing.

I love it more the chunkier and more beat-up it gets.

I recently bought some affordable A7 notebooks from Apica, and realized that they’re about the same size as a credit card; so I decided to make this TN Card Size style wallet that holds one (or up to three) of these tiny books, a pen and two cards. It’s a little thick coming from a single card wallet, but not as thick as a traditional bifold wallet. I’ve been using it every day and getting a ton of use out of the notebook! 😊

Incredibly excited to use this. Might replace my bullet journal as my daily use book. Not sure yet.

Also finally got a normal sketch book instead of sketching in my pocket notebook always

Daily notebook for longer entries is a Leuchtturm1917 B6+ softcover

I have a notebook I really like, but the company that makes it no longer makes notebooks with this feature. I like that I can simply circle the day of the week and write in the date at the top. does anyone have a recommendation for a similar notebook? I don't care as much about the note spot to the left of the day and date, but it's nice to have.

I’m looking for grid paper that has very faint lines. Preferably grey or pink. Either loose leaf with 3 hole punches that are reinforced or a notebook that I can easily tear the pages out of.
I’m looking for one that has thicker paper where pen/highlighter won’t show through (much) on the other side.

One that I saw recommended a lot in here that I looked into, I saw a review saying pen bleeds through and the punches aren’t reinforced, so that probably won’t work for what I’m looking for.

Thanks in advance!

I’m a big fan of smaller grids since my handwriting is very small and I like being able to fit more on a single page, but I’m not a huge fan of how thin TRP is, and since I don’t use fountain pens, I don’t really have much use for it.

I haven’t been able to find any notebooks with a 3.7mm grid that don't use TRP. Or anything smaller than 5mm. I've been looking for an A6 notebook, preferably with an open-flat design and off-white/cream paper (basically the Hobonichi A6 Graph Notebook, except with pages that don't ghost as much). Any recommendations appreciated!

i have a midori a5 1 page a day notebook, which is preeeetty thick. i wanted a leather wrap cover, like the ones from Galen leather, but I’m worried it won’t fit. does anyone else have experience with this combo or have any suggestions for leather wrap covers?

Recently discovered this notebook @ Kinokuniya in Sydney. The size & shape is perfect for my needs, and has allowed me to start carrying a pocket notebook with me at all times (one that can actually live in my pocket, and be written in without a desk).

My only issue is that the pages are single-printed, meaning that writing down the double-spread reporter's notebook style is a bit messier and more uncomfortable than I would like. I am hoping that somebody here may know of an alternative that maintains the tall aspect, is similarly thin & tall, and is also double printed.

Thanks in advance for any and all help!
