Review
Praise for Wreck This Journal: “I've kept journals before, but have never written in them as frequently as I write in my Wreck This Journal. I struggle to put it down. Instead of blank lined pages, each page has a different task. Wreck This Journal is great for inspiration; it gives you tasks that are thought-provoking rather than pages of endless blank lines. It is a great way to pass the time and a great gift for anyone, no matter how young or old.”
