I have to write more slowly and that kind of ruins the point, especially when it comes to the “quotes” part, that I want to fill on the go, when I find a sentence on a book that I like (and don’t want to forget).īut I think I can get used to that (and it might be useful to force me to tame my handwritting)… For those like me that have a large handwritting, it might become a bit difficult to fit everything into those rectangles. So, some of the disavantages you mentioned will just cease to be (for me, at least!).įor me, the greatest disavantage is the small space left for us to fill. In fact, I’m thinking about simply removing those tabs altogether and don’t mind about that □ But that’s just me and you might find it more useful than I will. Personally, I prefered those pages to be left “un-tabbed”, and I would just fill them as I read books, that is chronologically. Interestingly, though, one of the things you actually liked about the book-journal (the alphabetized section) is the one thing I don’t like, for the same reason that you mentioned as a fault: the fact that some letters will quickly get full while others probably won’t get any entry whatsoever… I also think that the notebook could use a little more colour – I like the embossed cover, but it lacks something, though I’m not sure what… (But then again, I’m one of those who uses the red-cover moleskine, instead of the classic black one…) But maybe I’ll get a sticker or two and just “jazz it up a bit”, as you say (at least the back cover, since the front cover is embossed). If I were to buy it here in Portugal it would cost me €18 (~£20), which was the reason why I didn’t buy one until now…Īnyway, I’m not fully convinced yet either. I have to say that I bought mine through the BookDepository, and it cost me €10 (which is about £11). limited number of pages for each letter – I would go over this for some letters.Īnyone been using the book journal? or one of the other passions notebooks? I did have good intentions of getting the film one as well – but now I’m not so sure!įirst of all, it’s always interesting to find that there are other people out there who are as addicted to notebooks as I am…īut the point here is the Moleskine Passions: Books.quite boring if you don’t do anything extra to jazz it up.quite expensive for the simplicity of it all.In many ways there is nothing I couldn’t do myself in a plain notebook.freedom to make up your own sections and loads of stickers and room to be creative.the quotes and opinion boxes on the pages about the book instead of just a simple title, author, comments set-up that most book journals seem to follow.
