@Peter_pbn​   Excellent idea!  The grail diary is part of the main focus for the search!

Thanks.

Also for your consideration:

Ernie Pyle - Scripps-Howard War Correspondent - Story of G.I. Joe (1945)

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0038120/mediaviewer/rm4187716609/

At the close of WWII, Pulitzer Prize-winning war correspondent Ernie Pyle travels with, and reports on, the U.S. Army's 77th Infantry Division during their liberation of Italy.

Celestine - The Diary of a Chambermaid (1946)

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0038477/mediaviewer/rm4160166400/

The image shows Celestine with her diary. Early in the film she is shown writing in her diary.

Célestine (Paulette Goddard), the chambermaid, has a new job in the country, at the Lanlaires. She has decided to use her beauty to seduce a wealthy man, but Mr. Lanlaire (Reginald Owen) is not a right choice: the house is firmly controlled by Madame Lanlaire (Dame Judith Anderson), helped by the strange valet Joseph (Francis Lederer). Then she tries the neighbor, former officer Mauger (Burgess Meredith). This seems to work. But soon the son of the Lanlaires comes back. He is young, attractive, and does not share his mother's anti-Republican opinions. So Célestine's beauty attracts Captain Mauger, young Georges Lanlaire (Hurd Hatfield), and Joseph. Three men, from three different social classes, with three different conceptions of life. Will Célestine be able to convince Georges of her sincerity? Will sinister and inflexible Joseph let his views on Célestine be ruined? A quite disillusioned depiction of humanity.

Ford Prefect - The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (2005)

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0371724/mediaviewer/rm2980184576/ 

Mere seconds before the Earth is to be demolished by an alien construction crew, journeyman Arthur Dent is swept off the planet by his friend Ford Prefect, a researcher penning a new edition of "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy."

Laura Ingalls Wilder - Little House on the Prairie (1974)

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0071007/mediaviewer/rm4223924736/

The life and adventures of the Ingalls family in the nineteenth century American Midwest.

A long-running drama based on the "Little House" book series by Laura Ingalls Wilder follows the lives of the simple, farming Ingalls family: Charles, Caroline, Mary, Laura, Carrie, Grace, and the later adopted Albert, James, and Cassandra, who settle into a quaint little house on the banks of Plum Creek near the small town of Walnut Grove, Minnesota during the late 1800s. Often narrated by Laura, the series follows her simple farm upbringing from her childhood until her adulthood with Almanzo Wilder with whom she starts a family of her own. While the series is based on the "Little House" book series (and thus the real life of author Laura Ingalls Wilder), it is a very loose adaptation, with mostly only key events and elements of fact surviving the transition from book to TV series, the most important being Mary's eventual blindness, and Laura's future. Several other fictitious (some factual) characters make up the friendly town of Walnut Grove, including teacher Miss Beadle (succeeded by two other teachers, then Laura, then Etta Plum), Dr. Hiram Baker, Rev. Robert Alden, Mr. Hanson (of the Hanson lumber mill), and the well-to-do Olesons, owners of the local mercantile, and also the primary rivals of the Ingalls family (except the Oleson patriarch). Family friends include the Edwards, Garveys, and Carters, who, in the final season, move into the Ingalls' little house.

Jo March - Little Women (1933)

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0024264/mediaviewer/rm2695286272/

A chronicle of the lives of sisters growing up in 19th-century New England. Four sisters fight to keep their family together and find love while their father is off fighting in the Civil War.

Jo March writes about her family in Little Women. In the latter part of the novel, she writes a book based on the lives and experiences of herself and her sisters, which she eventually titles Little Women. She writes her domestic stories under the gentle guidance of Professor Bhaer, culminating in her holding the bound manuscript of Little Women at the end of the 1933 film.

Not sure it's helpful to suggest things that are not specifically notebooks.
