2 Pack Hardcover Notebook - JoyNote A5 College Ruled Writing Journal With Pen Loop, 96 Sheets/192 Pages & 2 Plan Stickers Gifts | 5.75 X 8.25 Inches (Black Pink) Review

I am involved in several organizations and need this kind of notebook for taking notes at meetings. These work well. They lie flat, which is important. There's a small expandable pocket inside the back cover, and an elastic pen holder on the spine. They have two ribbons to mark your places, and the whole book can be held closed by an elastic band. The only problem I have is that one of the two notebooks I received in this order had an elastic band that broke the first time I used it. But the…

I like the way these notebooks have good features on a pretty commodity product. After all, all these notebooks offer is paper to write on. But they give you a place to secure a pen or pencil, an elastic band to keep the cover closed, and a nice hardcover to protect the pages. All in all, these notebooks have a nice look and feel that adds up to something better than my other notebooks of this type. I like them.

I just recently started using the journal months after purchasing. I want to love it, but as a person who uses gel ink pens I'm finding that it's difficult to write in. I have no problem writing on standard paper with my pens, but as soon as I use my pens in this notebook they basically stop working fluently. I'm not sure if the paper has a wax coating of some sort or what the issue is, but I know it's not the 5 different pens that I've tried (including different brands). I guess I'll be…

Perfect for journaling, writing, musing, or putting down anything on paper that you plan to keep, these gorgeous but simple notebooks are a great way to elevate notes and writings. They’re dated on top, have reinforced seams and elements along the spine and covers, include two ribbon bookmarks in gray and black (to differentiate between where you left off and a place you are saving), as well as elastic to keep the journal closed. Lots of thoughtful details make these excellent gifts to yourself

I love the hardcover and the smooth finish of it. It is very sturdy and the paper does not bleed and you can not see the writing on the other side.

This has all of the essentials I wanted for a notebook. The outside binding is flexible enough to stay attached to the paper. The paper is thick, allowing me to write from almost any angle. The two ribbon bookmarks allow me to mark the spots of whatever I am working on and thinking about, simultaneously. I'm very happy with these.

This product was exactly as advertised. It is durable, nice pen holder, and comes with calendar stickers for both 2020 and 2021. I didn't need 2020, but was a thoughtful touch to include both. It is perfect for my daily journaling and the high quality for the price!

Opened them up and. no pocket? The front page was separating from the cover on one of them as well already within a minute of flipping though it. No "Date" on the pages either.Study otherwise, but I bought for the spine pen holder and pocket for business cards. Bummed.

I use 1 journal every 2 months so I am always in the market to get the next one. This 2-pack is very sturdy. The cover feels like leather and is very thick. The inside has good quality beige colored pages. I will enjoy using these.

Good price for two, can’t speak badly on that, motivated my purchase to start with. Simple and colorful options for the covers which is nice. However, I’m a little funny when it comes to paper. Perhaps I’m a touch OCD than I’d like to admit, but I can’t stand the ghosting. I was hopeful I could get past it in these, but the quality just wasn’t there. For the price point, they’re excellent, just not a good match for me and my desires.

Overall a beautiful journal. Didn’t care much for the thickness of the pages. They have a grainy feel when writing but my son loves his. I still use the other for my devotion journaling. I would purchase again despite flaws.

Didn't come with dividers as described. Also, the paper was already tearing off of the cover upon delivery. Disappointed in this purchase.

I ordered these because of the pen holder but I am really pleased with how they look as well as their quality. They are an excellent value for the price.

These are great little notebooks if you are looking for something that will stand being carried around a lot.Small enough to fit into a large purseHas an elastic pen holderHas an elastic to hold the notebook closedHas two ribbons sewn in that can be placemarkersGreat qualityHard coverHas a pocket on the back cover to tuck in loose notes/receipts/etcHas some sticker labels.

I've ordered these as gifts for some friends; I'm adding a Skilcraft pen to each one, since it's my favorite, reliable writing instrument. The notebook cover is soft to the touch and the paper is high quality. They are thicker than I would have imagined at this price.

I received these to give to my kids teachers and they loved them! They are great quality and teachers love good quality notebooks like this!

I needed new notebooks so I could take notes for my meetings and didn’t want to use a notepad. From the outside pen holder to the stickers. OMG! I just love them.

I've bought and used a lot of different journals of this type. This JoyNote journal offers good quality (good paper, strong cover) at a good price. It also has three really convenient features that bump it up to five star territory: 1) Two ribbon placeholders, rather than the one common on most journals (this is surprisingly handy); 2) elastic pen holder along the spine (holds a Bic 4-color pen, although you have to open the notebook covers a bit to loosen the elastic enough to slip in larger…

I love these journals! The color choices are cute and it’s a 2 pack what a deal! I love the sturdiness and it’s just a simple journal but exactly what I was looking for!

These are nice notebooks. I use them for taking notes. They have a very nice sturdy cover and nice thick pages. I like the elastic band to keep the cover closed. The paper is nice to write on. Good notebooks!
