Pretty Journal Notebook, Cute Colorful Hardcover Journal to Write in for Women Girls Gifts, 256 Beautiful Blank Pages for Journaling, Diary, Thick Paper

I love the design and pages of this journal. I kept one and gave another to a friend of mine. But seriously...advertising them as a "girl's" journal?! Get with the times...journals are not gendered. I'm a guy and gave the other one as a gift to my guy friend!Pluses:-It's just a gorgeous, playful journal that anyone with an artistic eye would appreciate.-I like the book has a thin ribbon as a place holder.-Bound well and sturdy and durable-Binding/cover is seamless design-The nature/stag theme is carried throughout the pages-pages are medium thickness=durable, yet easy to write on with both ball point/ink pensMinuses: (see photos)-I wish that all the pages were able to be written on with a colored pen or pencil. I'd say every 3rd or 4th double page is dark. For those dark pages I use the White "glaze" pen by sakura, which shows up once dry.-I wish this journal laid "flat".-Also I prefer a journal that's a bit larger. With it not laying flat, that decreases available writing space. I tried to get a sense of this aspect, but it was not in the description, so that was a chance I took.-I cannot get the cover to show up in the dark-I tried. But this isn't a big deal, it just shouldn't be advertised as such.-I wish the binding was blank, mine says: "Midsummer Night's dream" in silver letters. It also says that on the cover as well as: "I wish in this beautiful dream/ Until the old". On the back it says, "Looking forward meet." What does that even mean?Primarily I wanted this because it is beautiful (and it is!). I'm on the fence if I'd purchase again-if there were a larger size, I definitely would! And the price ($11 on sale) can't be beat. All in all, I recommend this product for ALL genders!

I ordered the red deer one, and they gave me the exact one I thought it was from the cover pictures, the reddish cover with the deer. It's so pretty I'm almost afraid to use it!!

I would have given it 5, but it stated that all the pages had unique/different artwork, but after a certain amount of pages it started the same pages again multiple times. The book is very beautiful though.

This is really a beautiful journal. The printing is wonderful, the pages are nice and thick to avoid bleed through and the journal itself is a nice size. A bit smaller than I expected, but I think it will work well. My daughter loved it so much, she asked for one like it, so I'll be ordering another one.

Very beautiful journal! The gorgeous pages in it more than makes up for the word salad in tiny print on the front and back. It's easily covered up and/or forgotten so not even a big deal.
