Paw Prints — Leuchtturm

Needing a splash of colour?

Posted by Amanda Fleet on Feb 10, 2021

It is getting lighter in the evenings. With an eye of faith, I can see it. But about this time of year, I need a real splash of colour with my notebooks. Whereas black, or grey, or navy are just fine and dandy most of the rest of the year, when it's cold and snowy and predominantly dark, I need some zing and some zest.

So, with no further ado, let me share some of the brightest and cheeriest of notebooks on offer at Nero's.

Let's start small and work our way up...

Analogue v Digital - Book stuff

Posted by Amanda Fleet on Mar 25, 2020

I've already talked about how I plan/write books here and here. And it will come as no surprise to learn that I will be using the Page One book for planning upcoming novels. But what about 'other stuff' around writing?

In round 1, Leuchtturm beat the Life Noble notebook. In round 2, Poach My Lobster beat the Clairefontaine Deco, but it was much closer. Who will be victorious today? Let battle commence.

8 to 1... or The Big Notebooks Play-Off

Posted by Amanda Fleet on Nov 06, 2019

Here's the thing... I did a post on my favourite pocket notebook, partly because it was easy-peasy-lemon-squeezy. And then Stu suggested I did a 'competition' between 8 desk-sized books, with pairs of them going head-to-head and the winners going forward until an overall victor emerges. So, that's what I'm going to do over the next couple of months.

Notebooks currently on my desk...

Posted by Amanda Fleet on Aug 28, 2019

There's a good chance that the list of notebooks currently dwelling on my desk, may run to a lot more than you expected! But then, if you've followed my ramblings on here or on my blog (Paper, Pens and Ink), maybe not!

Although the list is long, there are specific functions for (almost) all of these! Honest!

Featuring, amongst others, Clairefontaine, Moleskine, goodInkpressions, Leuchtturm and Cambridge Imprint.
