Huhuhero 5 Pack Lined Journal Notebook, A5 College Ruled 5"×8.25", Black

I rarely write reviews that don't contain some mention of a product's flaws. This is one of those rare ones. These books are very comfortable to hold and use. They "feel good" - seriously - and I've never written that in a review before. They're well constructed. Almost no damage after being dropped a couple of dozen times on a hardwood floor - only one corner looks very slightly dented. Surprisingly good quality paper that's a pleasure to write on. Nice touches like a ribbon bookmark, sewn spine, and a pocket on the inner back cover are icing on the cake. On top of all that, they're very well priced. I wholeheartedly recommend them, and you'll be glad to have purchased them should you do to. I am, and will be buying more. If you know someone who journals or is always taking notes, they'll love these.

I regularly use a notebook per month and couldn’t get my usual one, a rules EXCEED 5x8. I gave these a try and was pleasantly surprised. They fit into my leather portfolio very well, with no issues. The paper quality is decent enough and there is a bookmark and a pocket. Personally, I did not care for the pen loop and would have preferred a second bookmark, but overall I have no complaints. It was sturdy enough and good for writing. Definitely a good value for the price.

I picked some journals up at Walmart, but was disappointed in the price and the quality. Buying some on line just seemed risky! It's hard to tell quality in a picture and I didn't want the hassel of return. But I felt so unsatisfied with my Walmart find that I checked Amazon for something else. That is when I found these gems. For $3 less, I got 5 journals, instead of 4. Everything about them was better!!! Cover material, paper thickness, quality/consistency of the lines, pocket on the back cover, elastic strap for closing, the ability to lay flat when open. EVERYTHING. I absolutely love these! I'm leading a Bible study for women and I gave one to each of them for our weekly Scripture journals. They all love the journals too! It's not just me. Amazing product, amazing price. I HIGHLY recommend them (and I am a very picky person).

These notebooks are well-made and sturdy. The paper is of decent quality and thickness, making it great to write on. Additionally, ink doesn't bleed through to the other side, which I have experienced with some other brands, including high-quality ones like Moleskine. Despite being a bit pricey, I believe they are worth it and I would recommend them

Great but only 19 in the box - I bought 20.

As someone who has used and loved Moleskine for years, I won’t say these compare in terms of material quality. However, I found that for every day needs I didn’t need to use a Moleskine. That being said, these notebooks are very high quality for their price. They are definitely worth stacking up on your shelf for your daily needs, and you don’t feel the pressure of needing something “worthy” of writing like you do a Moleskine or equivalent. There is no ink bleeding, though it’s hard to attribute that to the paper or the pen. They really do lay flat, no break in period required and surprisingly no spinal creasing. The other thing I like is that the cover grips your writing surface, almost like a soft rubber instead of a smooth leather that slides while you’re writing. If that was intentional then it’s a smart choice by the manufacturer. We will see what 10-20 years does to them when they are filled and shelved, but I bet they will hold up just fine. Save yourself some money and buy these, you won’t be disappointed.

I started using these journals a couple years ago to take the place of the previous ones made by Piccadilly I was buying at Barnes & Noble, which apparently were discontinued. I found these on Amazon and in short order I found they were a very nice substitute. They HuHuHero journals have a rigid cover vs. the more pliable ones on the Piccadilly, which I wasn’t sure I liked, but after getting used to it, has been fine. The covers hold up well. Two additional features I initially loved about the HuHuHero journals was the elasticized pen loop, and the pocket built into the back cover, which is a great place to tuck notes, stamps or whatever. I just purchased another 5 pack and when I opened the first journal I was sad to see they had done away with the pen loop. It still has an elastic band to hold the journal closed, and also has a sewn ribbon bookmark, which are excellent features and done with nice workmanship. I just wish they were still including that little pen loop because I am forever losing my pen without it!

Great to give out as gifts to friends and family.

This is the best journal you can buy. But the delivery time for me is almost a month.
