Interesting take a a book journal. It's the first one that I've seen that gets straight to the point.

This is a fun reading journal. There are loads of pages for you to take note of the books on your To-Be-Read list, along with space for the date you read it and a spot to keep track of whether or not you reviewed it. It also has a section with fun activities such as NetGalley bingo, which incentivizes you to do things like write a review on the oldest book in your shelf. You can also download stickers to decorate your journal as well as add the book cover images. At the end of the journal, there’s a wrap up section for you to take note of your favorite books of the year and reflections on your reading journey. Reading journey was my favorite part because I had not thought of these things in a while. It brought back good memories for me. In the end, there are plenty of extra pages for notes .
By the way, I used the idea of bingo with my pre-teen niece and just customized it for her with little rewards, such as a pen, stickers, new bookmark etc for each task completed and a trip to the bookstore when she won bingo! It was a great success!

A really useful reading journal with options for being super detailed or giving a monthly overview and can all be done on your phone or tablet. Thank you NetGalley.

I have never used a digital reading journal before, and this one is beautiful! I love the colors and the layout. I think I will find the NetGalley-specific pages the most helpful because my current reading journal doesn't cater to ARCs. I like the spots to make goals for feedback ratio and books on your NetGalley shelf. I also really like the pages where you can keep track of the books on your shelf (and you can duplicate these pages if you have lots of books!). It is really nice to have the flexibility of adding pages as needed to customize it for the size of your library.

As someone who loves to read and track my reading, I was so happy when Netgalley gave this Reading Journal out as a surprise gift last year! I use it for tracking my NetGalley ARCs and reviews, which I like because I can kind of keep the ARCs I read separate from the other books I read. I like all of the features: the main page where you can see all your books at once with ratings and covers, the monthly pages with separate pages for individual book reviews, and also the little activity area where you can make your own A-Z cover challenge and favorite books bracket! Overall, I have very much enjoyed using this little reading journal and thank you NetGalley for providing it!

A visually pleasing way to keep track of your Net Galley books. It's great. Could use some more options, but it's very useful.

I'm really excited to get started with this reading journal! I'm only sorry I didn't start it sooner. I love the color scheme and layout...it looks very user-friendly with lots of perks and extras. I really appreciate different ways to keep track of what I read as well as anticipating what's on the horizon in my TBR stack. Placing reviews in the journal, as well as utilizing the stickers and various activities/challenges will keep any book lover busy all year.

I really like the design, and I will continue to use it. Currently, I'm using a physical book journal, but I like the idea of a pre-designed virtual one because I don't have much time these days to work on my physical book journal.

I recently just learned about the NetGalley Reading Journal (there is also a User Guide). I have never done digital journaling but this journal is awesome! It is categorized by month and has places for books, reviews, photos, your review and quotes from each book you read. I am looking forward to using this. Thank you!

Both the guide and journal are free and available here on NetGalley.

I enjoy this little reading journal. Really nice as a starting point to track your reading. I think I prefer the reading journal and system I currently use, but I think having this avaliable is really neat!

It’s not easy to find a reading journal.
I loved it :)
Keep writing into it to keep up with my reading history.

I found this to be very helpful. I liked that it had a section at the beginning of every month to put our goals. However, only having four book reviews for each month was way to little.

This is a such a great little extra for NetGalley to give out. It includes so much to be able to use. Can't wait to dive in!

It helps me keep engaged with reading. I love it. I think I’ll be switching to this one for good.

Such a fun, thoughtful (and simple) way for NetGalley to show their appreciation for its members. The content is thoughtful and helps busy readers take a moment to pause and reflect (and actually comprehend/feel) what they're reading.
