Feel free to suggest more in the comments.

I currently have three notebooks going:

• A pocket notebook for quick notes, random thoughts, and anything that comes to mind;
• A work notebook, mostly for daily logs, tasks, and some bullet journaling (green one)
• A general notebook for knowledge, ideas, and things I want to remember, although it's slowly turning into a diary (rhodia).

Lately, I've been thinking about getting a fourth, slightly larger notebook (B5) to use as a proper commonplace book, but I'm wondering if that might be overkill.

So I'm curious: how many notebooks do you have going at once? Do you keep separate ones for different purposes, or just throw everything into one?

I feel like I'm constantly rethinking my setup, so I'd love to hear what works for you!

I've been an A5 or 7x9 notebook user all my life and never really thought to try other sizes, but I recently picked up a B6 on a whim and I cannot get over the size. I knew the measurements beforehand and how it would compare to my usual A5 size, but actually holding this little guy in my hands, it's adorable! So compact! I suddenly understand the appeal of this size!

I just had to share and I figured someone in this sub might relate to my utter fascination with my new notebook LOL

leather covers are pretty but they are expensive so i made one with yarn.

Hello!! I am quite new when it comes to journalling and I have almost filled my first book!

I have these two really nice leather journals I bought when I went to Italy, but they both have these paper “inserts” rather than the paper actually being apart of the journal (picture for better reference). I don’t know if that is normal for leather journals, but nonetheless I wanted to know what the specific term for these “inserts” are so I can buy more and replenish my journal.

I tried to look up “inserts for leather journals” but haven’t found exactly what my journal has…could anyone help :)?

Thank you🥲🥲!

I have been using the Sparco 10.5x8 120-page 3-subject college ruled spiral for all of my note taking for 20 years. The part number is 83254 and the sku is 035255832540 (for individual pads). They sell a 6 pack with the item number SPR83254BD.

To stay ahead of my need I generally order them a dozen at a time. The last one I got is on top in the photos.

Unfortunately, despite the same part numbers, the lastest version has changed and lost the two key things that make it my go to pad:

1. The original has 54 loops in the spiral and the diameter of the loops is barely larger than the thickness of the book. This batch has 32 and they are much larger than they need to be.

2. The original has thick lines that is just what I am used to looking at and the new one has super thin lines.

I can find the pad at several minor online sellers but I have no way to know if it is the old version or the new version. I am frustrated and don't want to order a new pack over and over hoping to get the design I want.

I need an alternative or some assistance otherwise. It must be 10.5x8 to fit my folio.

Hi! i bought my first Hobonichi item a few days ago (a Techo Planner A5 Cover + plastic cover for cover).

I was wondering if this is the correct/ best way to fit multiple journals in it and i’m also curious how others do this. as in what works for you, what doesn’t, etc etc..

My set up now is:
a blank Leuchtturm1917 Jottbook (small notebook), with one flap in the cover.
a thin notebook in the middle, with both flaps in the cover.
and a Muji weekly planner, with one flap on the other side.

Is this is the best way to go about it? Am i maybe damaging the cover in the long run by adding 3 notebooks?

Any advice/ suggestions welcome! Thank you for reading.

I recently bought a Paper Republic Grand Voyageur Pocket, but unfortunately, it doesn’t fit all my notebooks. I absolutely love the size, though!

I’ve been looking at Nota Leather, as they use the same leather as Paper Republic but are more affordable. They offer both a Pocket and an A6 version with pockets, and you can even choose between compact and extended

I’m so torn between all the options! I’m really leaning towards the A6, but I just can’t make up my mind.

Does anyone here own both sizes? Is there a big difference between them? Which one would you choose?

The plan is to carry it around with me everywhere, so I’d love something that’s practical and easy to bring along:)

I was wondering if anyone knows why the bottom of my notebooks keeps getting ruined like this? I don’t know if it’s the brand of notebook or the pen, but it’s happened to multiple notebooks of mine, and in the exact same spot. Never at the top or the sides.

With this notebook especially, I took greater care to avoid water and rain, but it still ended up like this. I put the brand of notebook and pen for reference.

There's something quite satisfying and meditative about it.

Hey all, first post here :)

TLDR: I wanna buy a Midori notebook but I kinda wanna round the corners myself since I think I like it better when notebooks have rounded corners but I'm uncertain about it, wondering what your opinions are.

...

So lately I've been getting more into writing on paper. Kinda like a journaling practice maybe? just a big brain dump every so often several times a day.

So

I started on Fieldnotes and quickly I was filling them really fast so I decided to start making my own pocket notebooks modeled after field notes, size, staples, round corners, same page count.
Then I started getting more into fountain pens. Im an artist so I only used them for drawing but turns out they are great to write (duh) I also used mostly Moleskine sketchbooks and blank paper ones, with round corners.

So, lately I've been having the itch to try out a Midori MD notebook to write this journal/braindump thing just out of curiosity cause everyone raves about the Midori paper.

was looking online and I think Im gonna go for the A5 dot grid regular one and if I like it I might go for the chunky boy 1 page a day one.

HOWEVER.....this notebooks don't have rounded corners but I do have one of those corner rounder puncher things that I was using for my diy field notes and I think I prefer them that way but I also kinda like the ultra minimal aesthetic of the Midori but in my mind I kinda think rounded corners are more "fancy" (I really don't know)

So was wondering what your opinions are or if someone has already done this same thing of rounding the corners of a Midori notebook?

Is it good? does it really ruin the aesthetic? Do you like it? Do you regret it? Please let me know.

When buying a Muji notebook I always opted for high-quality paper. If you are a fountain user you will know.

I’m looking for a notebook that I can use for my anime journal and food journal. Currently I’m using the KOKUYO PERPANEP Notebook - Tsuru Tsuru from JetPens. But as I use it more, I’m starting to dislike the paper, it’s kinda too smooth for me. Here’s what im looking for in a notebook:

-A5 or B6 size
-3mm or 4mm graph/grid
-lay flat binding
-paper that can handle fountain pen ink, stickers, and washi tape
-minimalist design

I’m leaning more towards Wonderland222. But if anyone has other or better recommendations please let me know.

have some of my pages of which i’ve doodled myself

I make these pocket sized notebooks, what do you think? The translucent binder keeps three of them together.

When all of the pages are full in all five of my notebooks, do I keep them in a box, or do I throw them in the recycle or use a paper shredder?

On a whim, I picked up a "Life Noble Memo" pad, B7 size, in the "section" pattern, i.e. 5 mm grid. I noticed that the grid is only printed on one side of the paper; the back is blank. Is this also the case for the notebooks, or do they have the grid pattern on both sides of the paper?

Working in tech means I get a lot of notebooks as gifts. I never realized how many I had until I cleaned and organized my office and workshop today. 😂

So is it possible to be a hoarder without even knowing it?

I love writing down my thoughts and generally whatever I'm thinking about. I treat my journal mostly as a diary for my ideas and a place to to write down memorable occasions, and sometimes just as an all purpose brain dump.

I have been journalling pretty consistently so far on A6 journals and just finished my last one, and I think I'm ready to go for a bigger size notebook. I'm also planning to eventually add some pencil sketches to my diaries.

I just turned 20 and wanted to get something memorable that can also last for a while.

I'm thinking about getting an A5 sized, dot grid(or regular lines not sure yet) notebook with cream-colored paper and leather covers. Do you have any recommendations for me?

I keep a journal, so I buy notebooks. Weekend cleaning and while dusting my shelves I thought I should photo my collections. These are all new notebooks but I do use them, so I have more used ones. In life I only use pencils and fountain pens, so I basically collect notebooks using paper that fits these 2 types of pens. But if you will flip through the photos, you can see most of them are souvenirs that I collected from places I traveled to, so sometimes I just buy those I like although not quite the kind of paper I desire.
