I am catholic but not sure where to start as it would be my first time actually opening and reading the Bible.
Looking for one where I can write notes in. To summarize.

Look up Catholic study Bible. Should have lined sections for writing. If I was going to read the Bible for the first time again, I would start with the Gospels

I have this one and I love it.

that’s a beautiful Bible! Is it Catholic or Protestant? I can’t find the number of books in the description

it does not have the apocrypha if that's what you are wondering.

yes I was asking since OP stated they are catholic. So they will need a Catholic Bible.
