Miro Notebooks

Notebook Stories is having another great giveaway; this one's for Miro Notebooks. Notebook Stories giveaways are always fun, and this one's no different.

My favorite notebook of the ones reviewed on Notebook Stories is probably the journal. I love the idea of colored edges with a coordinating band. However, I'd probably need to keep my Cat Midori Book Bands handy for when the rubber band snaps off the journal. I am very hard on my bands. I love that more and more journals come with them, but if they're not sturdy, they're useless. If I liked the notebooks and bought more, I'd have to get the Dolphin Midori Book Bands so they'd color coordinate. In fact, I know that I'd get the hot pink journal and the dolphin bands (sadly, I'm not a huge dolphin ban, but they're the only cool colored book bands on Jetpens!).

I like all the colors, but I don't currently have any aqua or hot pink journals, so those are my favorites. Then again, Red is always a favorite color, and the lime green is quite attractive... Well, I don't know if I'm going to buy these journals, so I guess it doesn't matter that the black isn't attractive to me because the thing I like about this notebook is the crisp contrast of the colored paper edges against the black.

The journals are available in 3.25x5.5, 5x8, and 7x10. The two larger sizes come with a 3x5 utility pocket book. We all love free things, right?

I generally prefer wire bound notebooks, and Miro has two different kinds. Unfortunately, they're not as attractive as the journals. The Notebook Stories review said that the journals lay flat, so I'd say the crisp look of the journal beats the convenience of the wire bound.
