Lovely way to keep track of your reading habits. Whilst this was very usable and fun to complete, I still prefer a physical journal over a digital one. That said, if you like tracking your reading digitally, I'd recommend this as an option to try.

It's really one of the best Reading Journals ^^ It is detailed, you can revisit each month and overview your readings. The decoration is lovely!
Thank you NetGalley!

This is a good, high-quality resource for digital journaling. Easy and efficient way to log reads over time. Well organized and easy to use.

Thank you NetGalley!

Thank you #netgalley!
This reading journal is beyond helpful for tracking all the amazing ARCS I have waiting on my bookshelf. I’ve been trying to boost my percentage all year, and printing this out and using this religiously has helped me not let books slip through the cracks. Again, many many thanks for this generous gift.

Great journal to track my Netgalley TBR pile. I was amazed at how many pages there were.
It’s definitely helping me to be a little more organized with my NG shelf!
Great find!

Thank you netgalley, for the netgalley reading journal.

Really good to help track the books I am reading.

I will definitely use the netgalley reading journal.

First, thank you for the gift NetGalley! This is a simple digital journal and is easy to use. It’s not customizable, if that’s your thing, but very user friendly!

This is a nice reading journal! It's been helpful to track my progress. Also, love the tabs. They make it easier to navigate through the journal.

Great idea, and I liked a lot of the aspects and features included but for me personally, it wasn't particularly useful, as I couldn't add covers or text on desktop and wasn't willing to download yet another app to use it.

I love this journal, I love how its everything I wanted my physical reading journal to be (But which has since been lost to the gods of dark holes after two+ years of working on it, sadly). I only wish I could change the colors. Tan is definitely the popular color, so I understand the design choice, I just wish I could change it for my vibes.
Otherwise an amazing gift, thank you so much NetGalley!

NetGalley's Reading Journal is great for the readers who want a pre-prepared tracker that's easy to use without the stress of trying to create one on your own.

If you're like me & prefers reading journals/trackers that are customizable, then this one may not be for you. For me, there are a lot of items I wouldn't use or fill out. So, this one isn't for me.

Please do not let my review deter you from giving NetGalley's Reading Journal a peek & try.

I always wanted to try digital journaling. This is a great tool to keep track of my reading.

Thank you NetGalley!

This is a very simple way to track your books! Easy to use and take with you anywhere! It'll be great to take on vacation or any type of trip really!

Very cool download, I printed it out and put into my reading journal. This will be so useful. Thank you!

This is a nice journal and easy to use. I like using the tracker and stickers. It’s a fun and unique way to track your reading habits.

This Solution Is Not For Me But May Be Useful For Many

I have read many posts on GoodReads and Facebook about tracking their NetGalley reading. Most of the responses suggested using a spreadsheet. Many readers may use such software at work or home and be comfortable designing a spreadsheet to accomplish those goals. Many readers may not use a spreadsheet program and do not have the experience to create such a spreadsheet. Here is a much-needed solution developed by the NetGalley Team. It has many good ideas and is well thought-out.

Let me explain why I have rated it with three stars. My criterion for earning a three-star review is that I have mixed feelings because there are good points but also problems. If I rated this for its suitability for me, my rating would be one star. When I started posting reviews to Amazon in 2013, I used my 20 years of experience designing and using PC databases to design an Access database to track my reading, reviews, and helpful votes. When I joined NetGalley in 2016, I modified it to include the extra information on books I have read and my wish list of DRCs I want to request when they become available. I have created reports that slice and dice the data to help me plan my reading. I see excerpts on Facebook, so it works for some NetGalley users. If you are looking for a tool to help you track your reading, this tool may be for you.

My remarks will be limited to using Adobe Reader or Acrobat. The documentation states that this journal can be used with Goodnotes for Mac OS or Xodo for Windows and Android OSs. I do not have those applications, so I comment on the Journal’s use with those applications. Let me make some observations to help you decide whether to use this tool.

On the positive side, it is well thought out. After some personal information about you, the meat of the Journal starts. There is your shelf that can hold 48 Give-Feedback and Feedback-Sent slots and 12 audiobook slots. I found copying the image from the window opened when you double-click the cover image on the Find-Titles page. When pasted into the Journal, they are the correct size. The cover image from the Give-Feedback page is too large and requires resizing. There are places for some information. There are check boxes for Read and Reviewed and a place for your star rating. You can download stickers prepared by NetGalley, but checkbox and one- to five-star stickers were omitted. This is something that would be used for every reviewed book. There is a page where you can paste your stickers, just copying and pasting them within the application for easy use. I average 45 books a year, so there is adequate space. If you need more, you can extract a page, save it separately, and add it as the next page. If you review more books, save that page to add it whenever needed easily. Another issue is that there are places to save summary information for the month, but they require manual entry.

The bottom line is that I do not recommend using this tool with PDF software such as Adobe Acrobat. As I wrote above, Goodnotes for Mac OS or Xodo for Windows and Android OSs may be better. I can not comment on its use with those applications.

Thank you NetGalley . What an awesome way to keep track of my books. I’ve seen many people post about this and printed it out looking forward to using it!

I have enjoyed this journal because it provides a fun way to track the books I have read. It like that I can personalize it. I look forward to using it whenever I finish a new book.

This is a great concept but I couldn’t get it to download for use. Thanks Netgalley. I will keep,trying.

I can see why this journal would be great for those readers that like to keep track of the books they have read, especially if they are using a pad. It's a great way to keep track of your reviews, both for current, and upcoming reviews. It seems easily structured. It won't work for me, but I think other people would like it.
