As someone who usually embraces high-tech tools for my reading practice, I approached the BOOKFRIENDS Reading Pet Practice Notebook with a hint of skepticism. Would such a basic offering hold any real value? Upon flipping through its smooth pages and immersing myself in the unique daily schedule provided on that very first sheet, I started to appreciate simplicity again. The eco-friendly paper feels gentle under pencil or pen, effortlessly capturing thoughts as they unfold during long hours spent alongside trusty canine companions at Hollyrood Park in Edinburgh. What pleasantly surprised me was how grounding it is amidst our hyper-digital world; this notebook invites mindfulness and reflection while enjoying moments nestled between vivid Scotland’s heather-clad hills! Indeed—a gem worth investing time into if you fancy marrying written practice with the affectionate energy only pets bring.
