Some Lines A Day 5-Year Journal Hardcover A5, Port Red

Folks, Buy this. If you have had other ‘one line a day’ books then THIS is everything you wanted those to be but weren’t. This is ‘some lines a day’ - meaning: actually enough of a space to articulate a small thought. Or anecdote. Proportionally improved also in that it isn’t toooo thick for the size of the page and can therefore actually open and lay flat. Excellent paper. And the elastic strap means you can put your pen in it. Absolutely worth the extra few dollars. (Especially if you love the other leuchtturm products.) I set it in the window in my bathroom. (Since I am in the every day at least a few times).

This is a niche product, for sure, but for someone interested in recording glimpses of their life into one book for easy comparison, this is it! The paper is the standard array for this company; very smooth, very nice, friendly to all writing implements, but just a hair thin. Some inks can leave a faint ghosting. Each entry big enough for a good paragraph, plenty of room to summarize your day. The book is rather thick due to the need to have so many pages, and the cover feels stronger than other Leuchtturm1917 journals. It feels like it should last the five years pretty easily. I'm not so sure about the elastic, but only time will tell. Like other journals by this company, there's a sheet of labels in the back pocket that you can use when archiving the book. I very nice book for an interesting project.

My sister gave me this journal 5 years ago. I didn't write in it much, but when the 5 years was over I looked through it and was so glad I had recorded the little bit that I had. It was important enough to me that I wanted to do it again. I looked around at other journal options using the same format. Ultimately I came back to this journal. The journal is not too big or too small. There's enough space to write something each day- compared with the other options I saw on Amazon and Etsy. I was looking around for other options because I do think this is on the pricey side. I hope they can bring the price down. : ) With all that, this was still worth it for me to record my memories and some of my feelings during the year. If the price was lowered, I would give this at my "Favorite Things Party" (which has a lower price point).

This is actually my second time purchasing this. The first time, I didn’t commit fully and it’s been a while so I just wanted a fresh start. Other than because of the brand, I love this diary because it fits best for my type of journaling. It’s a nice size, not too big but not too small so it’s easy to reach for everyday use. Other five year diaries are typically smaller and since I write 5-7 lines every day, it just didn’t fit my standard. It’s also nice how there’s no lines, just a blank space so you can write little or a lot depending on the day. I also like adding stickers, drawings, and such to fill up the space. The back pocket is good to keep tickets, pamphlets, etc. The only con I see for this diary is how thin the pages are. It’s slightly thinner than regular printer paper so pen will definitely bleed through. Personally, I like using pencil so it’s not an issue for me. However, despite it being thin, it feels very durable. I am certain that the pages and binding will stay good throughout the years. (Also, this color is amazing as well, I absolutely love!😉)

I have been using this journal since 2021 and it still looks great! The cover and the binding are holding up well. The pages are a light ivory color which is pleasing to the eye and each section is about 1 7/8". It is small enough (A5) that I can keep on my desk, so I don't forget to use it. I use this to record the temperature and weather, significant news events, a memory from the day like weddings, births, funerals, home projects we are working on, a quote, or just a synopsis of the day. The spacing allows for me to write 3-5 sentences to summarize or capture the day. I tape concert tickets, souvenir stickers from places we traveled, or pictures to the inside covers and beginning pages. The gusseted pocket in the back is also great to hold cards or keepsakes. It is neat to go back and look at what was happening on that same day in a different year. I alternate between blue and black ink each year to help see the distinction between the years. I don't have any kids, but it would be great to capture events of children growing up - funny moments or significant milestones. I will definitely buy another one when I finish this one in 2025!

Love this journal. Planning on using it as a yearly prayer journal to be able to look back and see the ways that God has moved and answered prayers in my life. There is plenty of space on each day. The paper is a little on the thin side like other reviewers have said. I chose to use pencil as pens would bleed onto the other side of the paper. If that doesn't bother you then this journal is durable and high quality and is a great addition to my collection.

Been using for over a year - perfect for someone who doesn't have the discipline to diary, but who wants to journal the important events over the years. Paper works well for fountain pens - you may need a blotter for some inks

This is the second book of this type that I've gotten for my husband to keep whatever memories he wants. He has chosen to use them for garden and beekeeping memories. I have also gotten one of these for me to keep for my daughter. Most of the time I forget to write in it and feel badly. But I tend to use my camera roll on my phone to jog by memory of at least one thing that has happened on a day. Several years ago I gifted this book to a co-worker as he was moving on to other opportunities. He shared with me that he used it for capturing the growth of the new company he started. This product is ideal for anyone who finds they don't have time for extensive journaling but does want to keep something. Since I purchased four of these, I would say this is a fantastic book also as gifts. I've always felt the cost of the book was worth the experience Like all Leuchtturm products, the covers have great colors, the pages are thick (on this particular book), bleed through is non-existent, the printing is clear. Adding a pen loop is helpful, so you aren't hunting around for a writing utensil when you wish to make a note.

The colour I purchased ended up not being available and Leuchtturn contacted me immediately and resolved the issue right away. The 5 year journal is just like all their other products; well made and exactly as shown. I am very happy with my purchase and would recommend it to others.

Diário muito bem acabado. Gramatura das páginas adequada para escrita com caneta tinteiro.

I have never been the kind of person to keep a diary as I know I wouldn't keep up with writing in it everyday. When I came across this particular diary, it was ideal as I wouldn't feel obliged to write a lot and just summarise in the space provided. The idea of being able to look back on the past 5 years worth of life events really appeals to me and what better way to document this than in a great quality diary that will last for years to come!

Uso questa agenda da più di un anno: apprezzo molto la qualità della carta, e il fatto che ci sia abbastanza spazio bianvo per scrivere poche righe ogni giorno, o anche per fare un piccolo disegno... Leggere quello che ho vissuto e provato un anno fa è qualcosa di molto importante per me: mantiene vivo il ricordo, mi insegna a scegliere poche parole essenziali, mi fa prendere consapevolezza dei piccoli grandi cambiamenti della mia vita. Consigliatissimo, anche come regalo.

If you can keep up with the daily writting habit, Its a one time purchase, 2 of these will last for a decade, let that sink in..pages are not the thickest and the binding is not perfect, but with the hardcover and 2 bookmarks its just one of a kind item, something that you will interact every day, better use a pencil for writing as ink might bleed through, and the daily column is not that big, which is good in a way as it act like the old Twitter, it forces you to be creative to write the best version of your thought, and finally its one of those items that will appreciate over time, as the years stack up and you go further down the page, and you can just glance over the years and just immediately travel to past is gonna be mind blowing experience, which is something that I'm yet to experience, guess in 3-4 years time I would know.
