I really enjoy notebooks. And pocket notebooks are just another fascination of mine.
Let’s see yours!
Here’s mine:

Did I just get a custom made cover for $0.33 mini composition notebooks that I get at the Dollar Tree? Yes. Yes I did. Why? ‘Cause I like what I like. 
I’ve tried Moleskines. The Volants are too small, the Cahiers are too big. I haven’t tried Field Notes yet. I’m tempted, but if the Cahiers are too big, likely the FN ones are too.
Unless I’m at work where I have a breast pocket, notebooks go in my back pocket since they’re soft. They do get beat up. While I like the look of a well used notebook, the look of a well worn piece of leather raises the awesome-sauce points up 10-fold.
I had this one made to fit the mini notebooks, so hopefully these things never get discontinued (mini compositions with sewn binding are harder to find than glued binding; and at $1.00/3-pack, I’d best stock up). hahaha!
The Steel Flame Snake Bushido tag is one of my favorites and to have it incorporated into the cover made it a bajillion times more awesome. But the best part? The tag was a gift.
And the notebook was hand made by someone I know.
Props all around! Totally on cloud 9 with this cover. 
Bonus points for the whole contraption still disappearing into girl pockets.
‘Cause you know girl pockets suck.
