Every Reader Needs One Of These Bookish Notebooks
I'm a self-proclaimed bookworm, which means, naturally that I hoard books. I fill up shelves with stacks of novels, pile them up along the walls when I run out of shelf space, and basically fill any available nook and cranny with my library. It’s safe to say that I can’t be trusted in any bookstore, because I’ll leave with my arms full with books that I definitely have no space for.
Somehow, this impulse to buy every book in my sight extends to notebooks. Readers are often writers, so it makes sense that book-lovers also adore notebooks. After all, once we read everything we can get our hands on, we sometimes start writing our own stories, too.
There are plenty of beautiful notebooks out there with plain covers. What matters is what’s on the page, not the cover, right? After all, if you don’t judge books by their covers, you shouldn’t judge notebook content by the cover, either. That being said, if you have a choice between a plain notebook or a pretty one — you’re going to choose the pretty one. And lit-lovers are in luck, because there are some gorgeous literary notebooks that every reader will want to add to their shopping cart.
