Pain & Anger
: "I’m a little late buying a notebook. The Moleskine is my favorite, but I was disappointed in the paper quality this year. So much bleed through. Not just ghosting. I’m going back to a Leuchtturm for 2026. These are the only 2 notebooks I’ve used since 2017. Any Moleskine users experience the same?"
