📚 I loved Treasure Island as a kid. Still do. I keep wanting to recommend it to my grandson, but he’s still grappling with the concept of reading for fun. I realize my sample size is quite small. Is the current crop of middle schoolers indifferent to books?

THREE NOTEBOOKS?

A bullet journal, a long-form personal journal, and a project-based notebook/sketchbook. I may have a problem. Briefly tried consolidating, but that was a failed experiment.
