Product description
The essentials
If you like your writing space to feel organised but still a bit personal, the ZXHQ B5 lined journal is built for exactly that. On paper, it’s a thick, B5-size notebook with classic university-style lines (8 mm) and a cover/design that stands out thanks to the colourful edge and Tree of Life artwork in dark green.
What makes it more than just “another lined notebook” is the practical kit around it: a pen set included, plus bookmarks and an inner pocket for small bits. The notebook also opens flat to 180°, which matters if you tend to write for longer stretches or want fewer annoying page-lift issues.
That’s the kind of package that suits day-to-day note-taking as much as it suits planning, creative journalling, or bullet journal-style layout work.
What you’ll notice in everyday use
This is a lined journal designed to keep your writing tidy. The 8 mm ruled format gives you structure for lists, daily pages, and habit tracking—useful when you want consistency without going full pre-printed template.
The thick paper (100 g/m², as stated) is intended to reduce bleed-through, including when you’re using stronger inks. It may not eliminate ghosting completely for every pen (that depends quite a bit on your tools), but the idea here is to give you a more comfortable experience.
There’s also a flat 180° support, so when the book is open on a desk, it’s meant to lie naturally. In real use, that can make a difference: you’re less likely to fight the page when writing at the edge, and it’s easier to flip back to a section.
A practical example
Say you use it for a work week: you could dedicate one spread per day for meeting notes and quick action items. With the two ribbon bookmarks, you can keep your “today” page and your “next reference” page both marked. The inner pocket is then handy for tucking in a small receipt or a reminder card.
Key points you should weigh up
The standout claim on this one is the bundle: 360 pages, B5 size, and a pen set included, plus those everyday accessories (elastic closure, two bookmarks, inner pocket). That’s good if you want a ready-to-go journal rather than buying extras separately.
The other big factor is the format. B5 is larger than many pocket-style diaries, so it makes sense if you’re happy writing on a desk or table. If you’re after something ultra-portable, this may feel too big for daily carry.
Finally, the colourful edge and Tree of Life look more “statement journal” than plain stationery—nice if you care about the visual side, less ideal if your preference is muted and minimal.

Where it may fall short
It’s not the smallest notebook, so if you primarily write on the move, the B5 dimensions may be a bit too bulky. Also, while the paper weight suggests better performance with pens, page bleed-through can still vary depending on what pens you use—so it may not suit everyone who’s chasing “no ghosting at all” results.
One more nuance: the colourful edge and themed Tree of Life design are very much part of the appeal. If you’d rather have a plain cover for professional settings, you may want to consider whether the visual style matches your use case.
Who it suits (and who should look elsewhere)
It makes sense if you’re after a thicker ruled journal for everyday planning, writing, and bullet journalling, and you like the idea of having pen(s), bookmarks, and storage built in.
It might not be the best match if you want something very compact, or if you prefer fully minimal stationery with a neutral look.
Is it worth it?
If you want a lined B5 journal that’s set up for real use—desk writing, structured notes, and organised pages—the ZXHQ B5 360-page notebook looks like a sensible purchase on paper. The combination of thick 100 g/m² paper, 180° flat opening, and the included accessories (pen set, two bookmarks, elastic closure, and inner pocket) is what gives it its practical value.
Where you may want to be cautious is size and expectations about ink behaviour. It’s designed to reduce bleed-through, but the result can depend on your pens, and the B5 format isn’t ideal if portability is your top priority.
If you’re planning to buy a journal for regular writing—work notes, school use, or bullet journal layouts—this one’s built for that. If you’re after a tiny notebook or a purely understated cover, you might find better alignment elsewhere.
