This week’s addict emailed me to share her collection– or at least part of it: I’ve been reading your blog for about a year now, and my favourite part of it is the Addict of the Week. I always wonder if my collection is actually a bit absurd compared to some of the others, but … Continue reading Notebook Addict of the Week: Jemma→
This week’s addict posted this photo on Flickr with these comments: “The journals I have here with me in England I have no idea where the rest of my books are, but here is a pretty good spread.” From that, I deduce that she was just traveling to England or living there temporarily, and I … Continue reading Notebook Addict of the Week: Nairobi Queen→

This week’s addict has a lovely and emphatically titled website: Pens! Paper! Pencils!

She says: I started [keeping diaries] at 40. Whatever diaries I kept before that time were regularly disposed of, thinking they contained secret thoughts I … Continue reading Notebook Addict of the Week: The Knitorialist→

This comes from The Journal CEO, who says “I have Moleskines, Paperblanks, Peter Pauper Press, Barnes and Noble leather journals, Chronicle Books, Sanrio, Jacket Journals, and some random brands. I’ve been journaling regularly almost 7 years now.” I lost count of … Continue reading Notebook Addict of the Week: Journal CEO→
This week’s addict has been featured here before with a look at how she prepares her sketchbooks. Here’s how 5 years of those sketchbooks are stored: Although they look very uniform, she says there are 8 different types of sketchbooks in the collection.
