Who has more Notebooks, you or I, I can't really tell, but I see more of them in your post then in mine (just checked and kinda counted - you above 20, mine below 20 - or something like that). But but but, this isn't a race towards maximum numbers 😉 Since my post, I gained a few notebooks. Didn't buy them. Usually receive them. Was at several events - mostly business-related, IT conference, AI meetup, AI workshop and whatnot, and received more than a few new notebooks. But still, not a race to the highest numbers 😆

I do very much LOVE your personalised notebooks! Replacing the metal spirals with (thin) threads is not only making the notebook more appealing to look at, but also easier to stack them. Perfect personalisation! The poster cover, perfect as well. I think I may have done similar when I was young, a kid, and/or early teenager. Not to sure anymore. I know, I didn't 'play' the personalisation 'game' since school, otherwise I would remember (perhaps I am lying, perhaps my memory is deteriorating more than I want to admit).

The bickers notebooks are super nice! The abstract ones I like, but also the one with the girl trying to bike of the cover. The background, the setting, reminded me (within a split second) of our city, 'Utrecht' located more or less in the middle of 'my' country.

I think you kept the best notebooks to the end of your post. I really like the more minimalist covers. The cork one, super cool! The soft-covered ones, the one-coloured, the more luxury-covered ones, are great to have in the collection, to store them on shelves and on benches/tables and whatnot, in sight of the human eye. Not saying the bickers notebooks, and some of the less minimalistic covered ones need to go behind doors for storage; Some of those should be in eyesight as well 😉

Last but not least: Never Ever too late to enter any collection you - we - have. The monthly themes are simple suggestions. At least, that is what the founder of this collection community told me more than once. I think I am 'behind' on a few topics as well. Somehow, I feel I shall touch all those topics, but in reality, this may take years before I execute on that notion.

Looking fwd to your next collection 🙏
