I’ve been using NetGalley’s Reading Journal, and let me tell you, it’s a pretty nifty tool for us readers. It’s a free digital PDF that’s all about keeping your reading habits neatly organized.

What’s cool is that you can download, edit, and make it your own. It’s like your personal reading diary, where you can jot down all those fleeting thoughts and impressions about the books you’re devouring.

Now, I’ve got to be honest, it doesn’t sync up with my NetGalley account, which would’ve been the cherry on top. But hey, it’s still a fantastic way to keep track of my reads and set some ambitious reading goals for myself.

I’m giving it a solid 4 stars because it’s been a game-changer in how I organize my reading list. It’s not perfect, but it’s definitely made my reading experience more enjoyable and a lot more organized.

So, if you’re looking to step up your reading game, give this journal a whirl. It might just be the buddy you need to keep your bookish life in check!

This is a fabulous reading journal, so far I have just looked at all the pages but I’m looking forward to filling it all out for this year

This is a great digital journal and the side tabs are so smart! The downloadable stickers and extra details make it that much more special!

Fun little way to keep organized and provides a way to keep track of the ever-growong TBR. Not as user friendly as I would like.

This journal is the most essential thing for a reader. I love the specifications given in it which really helps us to keep our reading organised. My favourite part of the book was the shelf given on the last few pages. This journal is asthetic and very useful.

I enjoyed paging through this and seeing additional ways to keep track of the books I've read and reviewed, along with reminders of what's still on my bookshelf. It's also nice to have the perk of having this shared to us.

What an amazing journal! It’s perfect and just what I was looking for! It’s easy to use and a great way to keep track of everything. Thank you

amazing way to track books i am currently reading at net galley, really useful and organised. i am loving it

really phenomenal of NetGalley to give us this and help us with our percentages by letting us review this instead of just emailing us a file

This is a really awesome resource that I will absolutely be using! I love the monthly reading wrap-ups. Thanks!

I was really excited to get the NetGalley Reading Journal because I love being organized. I have used a paper calendars my whole life ( no digital calendars for this girl) and I have different sections that I use for books I read, books I want to read, books I have to read, etc
I was thrilled to be able to print these pages and create a whole separate notebook that I could keep all my "bookish" things. Now I have a book that my book club can look at and see what i recommend and what books I read and loved. Thank you NetGalley for the cool printouts.

This was fun and interesting to use!! Thank you for providing this!!...................
I am not sure what else to put in this review

Super cute and user friendly book! Love having something digital to put all my bookish thoughts on. Loved all the features l, especially the NetGalley books, so that I know what I have reviewed and need to review.

Thank you for the unexpected gift of a journal. I hope to keep my reviews up to date, with this carefully tabbed log and stamps.

thank you! i love being able to track my reads, and this is an interesting way to keep track of my activity as a supplement to goodreads and my paper journal.

I was very excited about this journal, but am not really getting to grips with it. I want to use it electronically but am finding it a little cumbersome. I suspect this is largely about me rather than the journal!! I will definitely spend more time with it as it is a fantastic idea and I see many people are finding it useful. In the meantime, I will carry on with Goodreads,. Many thanks to NetGalley - keep on innovating!

As an avid reader, I've often found myself lost in the world of literature, engulfed in the narratives and insights woven into the pages of each book. To capture these moments of immersion and introspection, the perfect space for readers to document their thoughts, feelings, and reflections on their literary journey.

The journal's design is both elegant and functional, with ample space for recording book details such as title, author, genre, and publication date. Additionally, each entry includes prompts to guide readers in exploring various aspects of the book, such as characters, plot, themes, and memorable quotes. These prompts serve as catalysts for deeper reflection, encouraging readers to engage with the text on a more profound level.

What sets this journal apart is its versatility. Whether you're a casual reader or a dedicated bibliophile, "accommodates a wide range of reading preferences and habits. From novels and poetry to non-fiction and graphic novels, there's room to document any literary exploration.

Furthermore, the journal fosters a sense of community among readers through its inclusion of sections for book club discussions, recommendations, and favorite literary quotes. This interactive element adds a collaborative dimension to the reading experience, allowing readers to share their insights and discoveries with others.

Lovely idea - though I do keep forgetting to update it. But that's no reflection on the journal. It's me that must try harder

Very helpful for anyone looking for a great way to keep track of books! I loved that I could download and edit, print and customize. This is very helpful for anyone looking to try a book journal!

I like that there are a lot of different interchangeable items within the journal. I do not like that in order to use it, i have to run it through a different notes app. There has to be a way to make it interactive without having to go through so many extra steps and without downloading the userguide which also requires its own review. Since book covers are always saved on my phone its nice to have a reading log out side of the other reading apps that lets you put the covers in there. Some of the other reading apps dont have arc books listed yet so my reading logs are inaccurate. So this is nice.
