Comparing the pros and cons of 10 different dot grid journals for use as a reading journal

I started planning for my reading journal by decided what type of layouts I could include (see the Part 1 video:    • Planning the layouts to include in a ...  ). Part 2 of the process is deciding which dot grid journal to use.

In this video I compare 10 different dot grid notebooks selected from my collection and discuss the pros and cons of each in terms of how they will cope with collage-style layouts, based on paper weight, cover type and shape.

I do have several other journals that I didn't include in this decision because I've set them aside specifically because I want to use them as future bullet journals.
