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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Notebook with Thick, Durable Pages
*by J***J on March 10, 2026*

I’ve purchased this notebook multiple times now and it’s consistently been great. The pages are thick and feel really durable, which makes a big difference compared to cheaper notebooks. One of the things I like most is that ink doesn’t bleed through the pages. Even when using pens, the other side of the paper stays clean. Overall it’s a really reliable notebook and a great everyday option if you want something sturdy with good-quality paper. I’ll keep repurchasing!!
