This is the e-reader that I personally use, and I love it. In terms of hardware, the quality is impeccable. In terms of software/OS, the user experience is smooth and satisfying. I love that it connects directly to my library via Libby.

This pen is a recent favorite of mine. One of the things I love about it is that you can refill the ink cartridge when it runs out, so you never have to worry about replacing the pen itself.

For 2026, I have decided to make the switch from Hobonichi to Sterling Ink for my planner. I made this decision because I am very excited by the minimalism and simplicity of the Sterling Ink common planner. We shall see how I feel come next year!

Similarly to the Sterling Ink planner, I’ve chosen the Stalogy 365 days notebook B6 slim for my journal because of its simplicity and compact size. I am often inspired to write while going throughout my day to day life, so a compact journal that fits...
