Hey guys!
I’m going to start a new bullet journal in September. The problem is.... I don’t know which one to choose!
My first ever notebook that I used as a bullet journal is not that good. I’m mostly saying that because it has lines and I feel like that makes me incapable of doodling or stuff like that.
I’m going to be doing my own research, but I would like you guys’ input as well.
I’m looking for a journal that has very good quality paper. Because I want to go crazy with my art supplies and not have the markers bleed too much. That’s really it; I just want a dotted-grid journal with good quality paper.
Thank you for reading and commenting.
Have a lovely day!

I agree with all the comments here already. I have tried recs from youtubers that I follow, but now I just make my own notebooks. I found watercolor paper pads at a discount store and since I already had most of the supplies on hand I made a discbound notebook. It's not lined of course, but I also have a ruler with dots in a gridline and could use that to make my own grids (or possibly print, if I need a whole page of it. Goodluck on your search!
Thank you for your input! I’ll try your method and test how it works with my style :blush:
My first bullet journal is pretty good. Although I’m new to bujo, I think it could work for you. It’s a Peter Pauper Press bullet journal with 192 dot pages, size A5. It comes with a ribbon book mark, a rubber band closure, and a pocket in the back! It’s the blue Agate one but there are different ones. I got mine at Barnes & Noble for around $13, but I’m not sure where you live.
i have the essentials dot matrix notebook which is almost an exact dupe of the lechutturm 1917 bullet journal ! the quality of the paper is v good and even has a ribbon book mark and pocket in the back, along with a strap to hold it closed(: Its about $9-13 depending where you get it. i added some pictures and there is also a video on youtube with it being tested for ghosting and whatnot.

Thank you! From what I see, it looks very good! I’ll definitely look more into it :bow: ♀
I think Rhodia and Lemome notebooks/journals have great price/quality ratio. However I find very important to look for the greatest notebook by yourself and I recommend looking for good paper density and find out how many pages you need, because Leuchtturm has a ton of pages but Rhodia and Lemome don't have as many. Good luck with that :blush: :blush:
Have you seen our notebook wiki? :blush:
Yes I have! I’ve just wanted to see other people’s opinions on different notebooks. I’ll be using that, the notebook wiki, and other websites/YouTube videos to pick a notebook that I’ll like.
