					<description><![CDATA[Back in December 2008, I wrote a post called Finishing a Notebook. At the time, this still felt rather significant as an accomplishment. My notebook usage before the early 2000s was often very fickle&#8211; I&#8217;d start one, decide I wanted to try something else, then maybe go back to something I&#8217;d tried before, then move &#8230; <a href="https://www.notebookstories.com/2026/03/10/unfinished-notebooks-2/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">Unfinished Notebooks</span> <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I forget how I came across this Leitz notebook on Amazon&#8212; I might have seen the brand mentioned somewhere else, or maybe it was just some algorithmic recommendation. Whatever it was, it intrigued me enough to spend $19.30 plus tax to try one out! This notebook is made in China but Leitz is a German &#8230; <a href="https://www.notebookstories.com/2025/11/19/leitz-premium-notebook-review/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">Leitz Premium Notebook Review</span> <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s another question from a reader who needs help finding a specific type of notebook: I&#8217;m looking for a pocket-sized daily planner (that&#8217;s NOT Moleskine). Something that has a full page for each day, not a planner that has a week layout on two pages. There are a thousand of those and I use them &#8230; <a href="https://www.notebookstories.com/2025/11/10/reader-question-seeking-a-pocket-sized-daily-planner-that-isnt-a-moleskine/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">Reader Question: Seeking A Pocket Sized Daily Planner That Isn&#8217;t a Moleskine</span> <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[My recent post about the damage to my Miquelrius &#8220;Boarding&#8221; notebook reminded me that I had another Miquelrius notebook in my review queue: the Miquelrius Logbook. The Logbook is about the closest Miquelrius comes to a Moleskine clone: it&#8217;s a pocket sized 9x14cm hardcover notebook with an elastic closure, a ribbon marker and a back &#8230; <a href="https://www.notebookstories.com/2024/10/01/notebook-review-miquelrius-logbook/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">Notebook Review: Miquelrius Logbook</span> <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>
