Absolutely adore this reading journal. I was able to keep all my read books all together. This was a brilliant way for everyone to keep all together. With apps you have them sending a ton of notifications. If you a true reader you want to keep track of all the books you have read and what you like or disliked about them.

I love reading journals; I have both a physical and a digital one. And now, thanks to NetGalley, I have another digital one for my ARCs.

Now I can keep my thoughts and books organized in one place. It will be easy to write my reviews and not miss deadlines (you can see how it looks in my image).

They also provide a reading journal user guide. This explains how to use a digital journal in Goodnotes and Xodo.

Thank you, NetGalley, for sharing such an amazing resource!

thank you for the free reading journal - I am old school and prefer to use a hardcopy journal but this one is full of great ideas which i will be adding to my hardcopy.... If you are new to book journaling, then is is a great lace to start.

The concept of an electric reading journal to download didn't work well on my phone, I wish I had an actual journal so this book did not work out well for me.

This is amazing I can't wait to use this for all my reviews this year!

I have never used a digital journal before but I love seeing the tabs work and all the pages to help track your reviews. So far it has been easy to use and dive in with out knowing what I am doing half the time. All the Activates and wrap-up pages are my favorite part!

I WISH I KNEW THIS EARLIER.

But I can't turn back time, so I will incorporate the content of NetGalley Reading Journal into my personal-physical reading journal.
This is a concise, simple and applicable guide for reviewers and readers. It helps a lot for newbie like me.
Thank you We Are Bookish for providing this reading journal!

I just started a bookstagram account this year with my sister and will now be using NetGalley on a regular basis. (I had only used a couple of times in the past and did not realize the importance at that time of providing reviews in a more timely manner.) So, I'm looking forward to utilizing this easy-to-use booklet, which is well laid out and provides a nice and organized way to record my annual reading journey. I have always enjoyed noting standout quotes within a book, so I appreciate the "favorite quotes" section provided. I also like the format and helfpful way to keep track of my NetGalley shelf.

I loved having a virtual reading log I can use and fill out on my IPad after reading! I have been wanting to start one, but could not find the time to be creative and make the pages, so this was so helpful and allows me to track my thoughts while and after reading!

This is the reading journal I didn’t know i needed. Very user friendly and customizable. Even has stickers, which is something I use in paper journals and planners. I love it.

I like the look of this journal. It appears to include monthly tabs, reflection prompts, the organization is easy to understand and use. This will be very handy tracking reading habits all year long.

I'm not someone who wants to creat my own reading journal so this is perfect for my uses! It feels fun but not too overwhelming. A great way to track with ease :) thanks for the gift, Netgalley! Excited to put it to use!

Great journal with lots of useful tips. I have been thinking of doing a book journal for a while and having access to this has convinced me to give it a go.

So cool! Love it and can't wait to play with it! I haven't had a lot of time to get it set up but I'm looking forward to doing so!

This is a great idea but seems confusing to try and navigate how to edit it. I downloaded into my Google drive and will have to tinker with it to see if I can use it.

Another way to keep track of books you want to read and those you have read. It is organized nicely and seems easy to use. For me personally, using Goodreads accomplishes these same goals . I’m not sure that I would use this journal but instead would just prefer to use Goodreads. It’s nicely done and many people have rated it highly. I am probably in the minority here 🙂.
