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.

Liked it!

Format: PDF

What a beautiful digital reading journal sent to Netgalley users!

✴️ What I liked:

~ I like the design and layout of the most of the journal, including the monthly check-in page.

~ I love the wrap-up section, especially the reading reflections.

~ I was able to upload to Canva for use on my mobile device, which makes it convenient.

✴️ What didn't work for me:

~ More mobile-friendly would be preferred, as Canva does not have the ability to click on the month header to go to that section quicker, for example.

~ The checkbox for reviewed overlaps the word read in my shelf reviews page (this may be an issue with uploading to Canva).

~ The space for new-to-me authors in the monthly check-in needs a bit more room.

~ Placing the activities in the front of the book instead of at the end would be better.

~ I would love to have color options, as the earthly colors were not my favorite.

✴️ Final thoughts:

I appreciate such a thoughtful and lovely gift of a digital reading journal. Thank you so much Netgalley!

A easy fun way to keep track of your books that you have read and review. Love the stickers you can download. Thank you NetGalley for this useful tool to keep me organized.

This is a wonderful way to keep track of everything for the year. Whether you are looking for a new journal or just starting out, this has everything you could need. From a quick about to every book you read in the month with spaces for marking down how many stars, general book info, book cover and so much more!

My ONLY issue is wishing this could come in print. You could print it out and use it that way, it's just way too long to print it out though. The amount of ink and paper wouldn't be worth it for only one item. BUT if you like digital then this is made for you.

I really love this! It's super helpful to prompt my thoughts. I struggle to put my thoughts into words so I'm grateful for anything that helps me write better reviews.

I downloaded this reading journal with the idea it would be a simple tracking log, but was pleasantly surprised at how robust it is! I enjoyed each of the tabs which allowed me to be more reflective and intentional about my reading for the year. The entire journal flows well and has a calming color scheme.

The only think I found lacking was that there isn't a physical copy available. This journal provides so many wonderful features that, for me, would be easier to manage with a physical journal to write in and follow throughout the year. The ability to have it bound and printed still exists, but it would be an easier option to purchase it.

Overall, this was a fantastic tool to keep my reading logs organized. Thank you NetGalley for this reading journal!

This is a great digital journal for those that like to keep track of their reviews over the months. I also appreciated the section showing the different challenges one might partake in as well as the habit tracker. Definitely a great layout too!

Thank you for this free journal Netgalley. It is very useful to keep track of my books and star rating.

I really felt like this was such a great reading journal and very comparable to the ones you can find on amazon or for sale through people. The color scheme was everything and there was so much room for you to add your books. As someone who reads over 200 books a year usually I would need multiple books but if you were to print this out you could just make multiple sheets. It also can be used year after year.

Book organizers are always so helpful. I appreciate this one. I have been using this to help me stay on top of the different reads I have and from various places that the books are from. Thanks NetGalley!

Beautiful journal to help with setting goals, keeping track of the books and authors you have read. .I love the colourful tabs stickers and layout of this journal. Really wish I had a hard copy of it though. Easy to use since there is a guide that really helps understand the whole concept of the journal and it purpose.
Thank you NetGalley for this Reading Journal.

Thank you Netgalley for the book journal! This is by far the coolest book journal I've seen. I love that it's broke down by months and has a wrap up section. I also like that it can be used on my phone and each tab will take you to the section you select.

I like the layout of the journal and it has great prompts, ideas, and pages. I wish it came as a physical book for Netgalley members, either to order or granted to members.

I love the idea of it. It has nice tabs and features to keep you organized. For me personally, it doesn't appear to be compatible with my Chromebook, so I won't be able to use it.

I was a little bit late to start using this reading journal but it’s a good tool to use to keep track of your reads and a lovely way to spend time amongst all the lovely books and with it being editable you can absolutely personalise it to your own taste and requirements.
