I use a lot of notebooks. Like, a lot. I have a large collection of notebooks, and a year ago I actually decluttered about half of them because after moving house I realised I had more notebooks than I could reasonably use in my lifetime. I gifted them to friends, it was a good time.
What that’s left me with is a few shelves of notebooks I genuinely love. I use a lot of notebooks, right now I have probably a dozen in active use for all my life admin and writing projects.
I’m telling you this to try to explain my love for notebooks because I think it was always a matter of time before I started to make my own. I watched some YouTube videos on how to do it, talked to a friend who is also in the notebook biz, and got to creating.

A useful book to put things in
When I was a teenager I started the habit of carrying around little notebooks that people gifted me, or that I bought on sale at the old Kirk’s department store. I invariably called these “useful book to put things in” and this is my iteration of those beloved notebooks.

Sad Axolotl Boys Club
Maybe you’re a boy who feels like a sad axolotl? Maybe your favourite character is a sad boy who resembles an axolotl.
This one is a Misselthwaite universe joke and it won’t make sense until a few more books are published, but I like it and so should you!
