The Me Journal: A Questionnaire Keepsake (Gilded, Guided Journals, 3)

The cover is lovely, gold-edge pages, bookmark, inner front and back covers are fancyy. Might update later to mention how binding holds up, but looks like it'll last. On a practical level, this journal has sections where you can ask others questions which is fun because I'm sure friends/family might want to participate after seeing the journal. I wasnt fond of the questions that ask "what do you think of when you hear..." because I obviously think of the object mentioned (but it's not like that for more abstract terms, which do appear on some of those pages).The back of the book has pages for your bucketlist which is arranged w/ a letter on top so you can alphabetize those dreams. The book asks details of favorite movies/books/music. To rate on a scale of 1-10 the importance of certain personality traits in friends and potential partners. The book is quite thick so I havent gone through every page but I havent seen any questions that really "bothered" me as far as level of inappropriateness goes. It does ask about your greatest kiss, thoughts on online dating, and if a close friend has ever confessed their love for you. Very interesting indeed! Though I could've done without the underwear question. Hope this review gives a good idea of the type of content in the journal. Enjoy!

Have only gotten about 20 pages into this journal but I’ve enjoyed filling it out so far and look forward to working through the rest of it. The questions are unique and the varied types of questions (check box, either or, open ended) keeps things from getting boring. The pages are thick and good quality - I haven’t had any bleeding through pages even though I write with a lot of pressure and use a thick 0.7mm gel pen.

Despite it's flaws, I find it fun and thought provoking. I highly recommend it, if errors don't bother you. Pros: * A mix of fun and serious questions. * A mix of lists, multiple choices, this or that, and one liners. * Lots of pages so you're unlikely to finish it in an afternoon. * Gorgeous book, high quality cover and pages. * Sticker on back of book is easy to peel with no mess. * Pages are thick, I haven't had any bleeding with a PaperMate gel pen. Cons: * Yes, repeated questions, even some on the same page. * Small size makes it a little hard to write in. * Some questions they give you so much room to answer and others just a line. E.g. "Greatest kiss of your life" gets one line, and "What are your thoughts on infinity" got five lines.

Honestly, I convinced myself one night that I really needed this book, that I really needed to answer odd questions about myself so that my future self would be able to read them and be like, "Ahh m'god, im so glad I did this!" I may be right, or I may be wrong-but after 3 days, I laid it to rest on top of my bookshelf and it has stayed there for over two months. Maybe its a personality thing, or maybe its just kind-of-sorta something that is a good idea, at the time and unessesary to own. Let's be honest, its probably just me. The book itself is pretty, classy and it has a golden trim to each page. The questions are very interesting, great distraction if you'd like some time spent off of your phone, or mind off from life. It also is a little self revealing. I'd say buy it. I think you'll enjoy it for however long you choose.

This book is such a blessing!! My father has MS and has really slowed down. We work on this book together (I ask the questions and write down his exact answers) once a week. I'm learning so much about him and it's opening up conversations that we may not otherwise have had. This experience is a blessing but the keepsake will be priceless when finished. I wish the book was larger so it would be easier to read and to write in.

Exactly what I wanted

Read the size of the book as it is smaller but I find it just the right size to keep anywhere, nightstand, living room, in your bag. Some questions don't fit my life but for the most part it makes you think of things and it is a nice book.

This journal has good questions, but obvious editing errors. Lots of repeat questions, and I got really sick of the "Right now I'm thinking...." and the "I'm inspired by ...." pages that repeated over and over. I suppose if someone just fills out a page or 2 a day, and maybe took a whole year to actually fill it out, you would have different answers over time. But there were many pages I skipped over because I didn't have an opinion (such as favorite alcoholic drinks, or favorite pop artists) so I went through it faster than that. Also, why is this book so SMALL?!? Maybe there have been other versions printed by other publishers that were normal sized, but my book is literally the size of my hand. It makes writing in it really hard, and some of the questions deserve longer answers than the little bitty lines that are given. I bought one of Shane Windham's other journals- it's in a different format, so we'll see how it goes.

Amei, apesar do livro ser de um tamanho bem pequeno, o que dificulta a escrita (pelo menos pra mim) a criatividade e as recordações as quais ele te faz pensar compensam a falta de espaço pra escrever.

It helps you discover many things about yourself by asking some simple questions you never asked about yourself. :-)

Love this! I bought it to keep me occupied in hospital but I haven't even gone in yet and had lots of fun filling it out! Its good there are so many pages! Going to buy another as a gift for a friend :) its such good quality too!

It's a great gift for the writer of the family or keep it for yourself. It is a great way to get to know yourself deeper. It's a great family history gift about who you are. Keep it tucked away for others to keep when your gone. A journal all about you and who you are is a cherished keepsake to hold onto to look back on.

Great as usual have bought twice before and this one I bought for my friend
