PAPERAGE Dotted Journal Notebook, (Light Blue), 160 Pages, Medium 5.6 inches x 8 inches - 100 GSM Thick Paper, Hardcover

this journal is perfect for what i need. it really does lay flat! i'm in the final 15 pages of my first journal, and it's still a cinch to write on at my desk. 160 pages is the perfect amount for me to finish a journal in a satisfying timeframe, but still feel like i worked at filling something up. the bookmark, back pocket, and elastic closing strap have presented absolutely no issues, and are a must for me when it comes to journals. my favorite pen (dr. grip medium point) glides fairly smoothly across the paper, although i imagine felt tip would work great too. i don't have any so i dunno.i loved the burgundy color, and my second color, blush, has just come in. the burgundy was perfectly deep and rich, and i'm a huge fan. the blush is a bit cooler of a color than i expected. i do wish it was a bit warmer, but i tend to attack my journals with stickers, so i don't mind too much. i also tend to tape and paste a bunch of papers and cards into a spread every 20 or so pages, and that's presented no issues with my journal laying flat or looking normal when it's closed.all in all, i intend to keep ordering these, at least until i'm out of colors that i want to use or reuse. i might expand my horizons a bit out of curiosity, but for now, this is an excellent, cheap journal that does exactly what i need it to do at an unbeatable price point.(and if anyone's looking for advice on how to finish a journal, since i only finished my first journal earlier this year: use your journal for everything! taking disorganized notes, packing and grocery lists, writing thoughts, planning something out, pasting in memories. don't feel pressured to make it look a certain way! just use it whenever you need paper for anything, and the overwhelming blank pages will turn into something of your own. have fun!)

Nice and sturdy. Good paper, enough pages for my needs, functions well

Purchased this specific brand for junk journaling after seeing multiple people recommend it. I love the size & versatility. The price was great and I received it in less than 24 hours. There are multiple options for colors, different page styles as well as a pocket in the back for extras. Also love that it has the elastic to keep your journal in tact! 100% will be purchasing more!

It’s smooth to write on. It’s smaller than I thought. It’s pretty and there’s no pen holder.

The only bummer about this book is that the pages are on the thinner side. Not offensively thin or anything, but thin enough that I don't want to use my Micron pens on both sides of one page. But thick enough that I can use them on one side and it doesn't bleed through. So while it doesn't bleed through, my drawing is somewhat visible. My solution is to use my ink pens on one side only and either leave the back side blank or maybe do a light pencil sketch. Not ideal obviously, but I suppose I should expect to pay more for thicker paper.That being said, the pages are incredibly smooth, probably the smoothest paper I've ever used. Smooth paper like this would be great for colored pencils. And despite being on the thinner side, they still have a good feel and turnability and the book feels nice in the hands. The binding is solid and it opens fairly flat. It has a nice ribbon marker and the covers are sturdy. The overall construction of the book is excellent.Don't buy it for the "stickers" by the way, it's just a few blank labels, nothing fun. There is a nice little pocket in the back though, to tuck away scraps or secret things.I'm pleased with it overall, but I may have to find something a little heavier for my Micron ink pens. But it'll be nice to paste things into, for pencil sketches, colored pencils, etc. The size is perfect for tossing in a bag or backpack as well.

I really like that it's a 160 page, in the past i've had a lot of 251 page journals (my journal before this was a LEUCHTTURM1917) and it felt like a lot of pages, I don't journal daily but try to. 160 pages feels a bit more accessible, idk it's hard to explain lol. Compared to the Leuchtturm1917, these pages are a bit more stiff, and waxy. The Leuchtturm feels more like standard paper. I usually exclusively use pentel energel pens--so with these waxier pages you have to be careful to not write too hard or soft or the pen will skip. If you journal with something like a micron or a felt pen, it's not an issue--but I'm a stickler about my pens! All-in all will probably buy again after i fill this guy up.

This sketchbook is a favorite of my daughter. She likes that the pages are secure in the binding. Also, the paper is a good quality too. It is nice that they come in many colors.

very cute & the color was an exact match. fits in my bag easily for use during the day

Love the rich green cover and paper quality. Handy back pocket. Great for Journaling.

Es un buen cuaderno, nada del otro mundo, perfecto para journaling o dibujo, la verdad feliz con mi compra

Esta muy bonito el color y la libreta es de muy buena calidad

El cuaderno resultó un poco más pequeño de lo que esperaba y las hojas no son tan gruesas. Con uso de plumón si se traspasa al reverso de la hoja; sin embargo, la pasta es dura y es práctico.
