MoleskineNotebook, Expanded Large, Dotted, Black, Soft Cover (5 X 8.25)

The moleskine expanded is quite expensive for a notebook, however, I really do like it. It would make an ideal bullet journal. I am using mine as a notebook to go along side my hobonichi cousin as not many note pages in that journal.One con for it, hence the 4 stars, is I am using a fountain pen in it and it bleeds through quite badly

I have been trying out a variety of notebook systems the past few years.Prior to the Classic Expanded size, I was using the Classic regular hardcover and I liked the versatility in that you create your own templates for planning but I was getting through a fair few of the non-expanded version so chose to try out the expanded.I find the Classic size perfect, and the expanded version is loads better than the original and saves on needing to re-purchase too.I have the soft cover, it's getting battered and bruised (well loved and used daily) and I'm around halfway through my second one now.The paper is not the greatest thickness. However, I don't mind a little bit of bleed through and i don't use heavy inks nor a fountain pen. Just some felt tips, highlighters, some brush pens and a ballpoint.I use the dotted version and I like the creamy coloured paper.I love that there's so many pages and also could not do without the two bookmarkers, plus, the elastic closure goes without saying - no one wants creased pages when your notebook fell open in your bag.

This is my favourite notebook after trying many of the top brands. I love the paper, the size (slightly narrower than the A5) and now it comes in this thicker size too. I keep it for bullet journaling - the paper does ghost with my wider fountain pen nibs but once the reverse of the paper is written on it’s not noticeable really. This is my favourite brand. The paper is more cream than white, again something else that I like.

Not sure what they're using for glue on this notebook, but mine smells INSANELY of fish. Really weird. Hope it airs out, otherwise I'll return it.

It’s a beautiful notebook & the perfect bullet journal starter! The paper is silky and sturdy and the flexible cover makes it easier to write inside it! My only negative is that £21 is a very high price even for such a beautiful notebook but it’s still worth it <3
