To know me is to know that I am a sucker for Stationary. Few things make me feel like a child than opening a nice new notebook. 

I used to be all about Moleskine and finally honed in on the grid A5. I love the clean minimalism, the subtle classiness that Moleskines bring and that Hemingway charm. A reddit thread I saw said that the Leuchttrum1917 had the same feel yet with thicker paper. That thread shattered the glass, and I started seeing how thin Moleskine papers were, how much paper bleed there was and the blotting, oh the blotting.

Once back from the holiday and having gifted all my stock of Moleskines, I took the plunge and bought a Leuchttrum. 

Now that the wonderful notebook is in my hands I face my dreaded yet familiar enemy – Blank Page.
