I have been using the Five Star spiral notebooks (sheet size: 8-1/2" x 11") for over a week now and I'm loving it. The paper is lightweight but the quality is good. Ink doesn’t bleed through the paper even when I use my Tombow brush pens and Pilot drawing pens.

I'm using one notebook solely for Swedish vocabulary (blue cover) and another for Swedish grammar or scribing (white cover). I will be using the black one for my Italian, which is currently under maintenance mode.

What I particularly like about the Five Star spiral notebooks is that it has a movable or repositionable plastic divider. I can place the divider anywhere in my notebook, which is awesome to section my notes in whichever way I fancy! I use its transparent pocket to slot in printouts of My Weekly Schedule template. The cover is so durable and the spiral is strong. I could literally just whack it around and everything stays put.
