Simply Genius A5 Notebooks for Work, Travel, Business, School & More - College Ruled Notebook - Softcover Journals for Women & Men - Lined Note Books with 92 pages, 5.5" x 8.3" (Light Blue, 6 pack)

Yeah, it works. I love it. NOTES!

It holds up to my daily use and gym bag. I fold it backwards and toss it around and it still looks great.

I like these for garden ideas and travel.

Love these - so clean.

These were great back when I was carrying 5 different journals for different things (I use an A5 binder with loose leaf paper now). I used these as my actual journal journal. Unlike other journals I've bought at this price point, these were 90 pages instead of 60, which meant I could carry it in my bag without switching for longer periods of time. They of course get bent and crumpled at the corners being in a backpack for months at a time, but it didn't fall apart. I like to paint and marker the cover of my journals, and this one took it well with no bleeding, feathering, or chipping. The light blue on the outside is very pretty — bright and clear without being sickly sweet or childish like I find a lot of pastels to be.The paper inside is fine. I have no qualms, though I don't use it anymore. I started writing with a fountain pen and this paper can take it, though it isn't smooth enough to be enjoyable to write on. The cream color is nice and soft without being too dingy looking and the rule is a good darkness. I didn't experience any bleed through (I was using Pilot V7s primarily), but there was a lot of shadowing. (For folks who are not annoyingly paper obsessed as I have become, bleed through is when ink physically bleeds through the paper, and shadowing is when you can see the writing on the other side of the paper even if it hasn't bled through)

I purchased these for my college classes, most of which are not super heavy in note taking, therefore the length and size works for me. They are neat and effective. The paper is nice and heavy, as well as the covers. They are the perfect size to fit all of them into your school bag without taking up too much space, and they're handy when you just need to grab one and go. I will continue ordering this item for future semesters.

These notebooks are the same size and shape as the equivalent famous ones (the ones named for the skin of a rodent), They don't have the special first page for writing your name and "return to" info, and the cover is not as sturdy as the cover on the famous brand. They cost much less than the famous brand and are very adequate for my purposes.

I gave these as gifts to the parents at my preschool. They are cute and I got fancy oens to go with. They aren't fancy but did the job. One was also damaged but thankfully not so much I couldn't use it because I needed all of them!
