Extremely functional reading journal that’s easy to use and I’m able to take with me everywhere I go. It allows for versatility and easy editing.

Clearly created by people who love to read! Such a fun way to track NetGalley reads, but also to indulge in some journaling and reflection on each title. Bonus activities at the back, which is a cute little touch. This is the NetGalley sidekick you didn't know you needed.

Such a good way in keeping track with my current reads and tbr! I use it on my iPad and it works wonders! Such a good organizational tool. I'm excited to use it some more

Nice looking journal. After downloading a required app, I was unable to navigate it. Not of use to me.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

A clever idea by Net Galley that when I actually get time, I am sure I will find it very useful.

Thank you!

This is an interesting idea for a book and maybe every new Netgalley reviewer should be sent a copy on joining. Personally I would like this as a hard copy to browse through. Having been a member for many years I don't feel like starting an online version now but I would certainly have done so at the beginning. Great idea for some.

This such an awesome tool to keep track of your reads! Not only galleys but all your reads, especially for us doing digital journals.

I loved this book journal. Although I've had many reading/book journals in the past, none have been quite so comprehensive as this one. I like the flexibility it offers. Thank you, NetGalley!

I really enjoyed this guide and I even used some of the templates to come up with spread pages in my reading journal. It was a nice guide to reference back to when creating my own journal. Thank you for creating this.

I have been familiarizing myself with the NetGalley Reading Journal for the past few weeks. I use several methods to track my reading: a bullet journal, Goodreads, a large sketchbook that I journal in and paste in thumbnail images of the book covers, and notes in several books of the "everything you need to read before you die" variety. But except for Goodreads, none of it is electronic.

The NetGalley journal can be downloaded or saved in an app like Goodnotes. Users can create a copy for each year and fill it in as they go. There are tabs for each month. The cover page for each month has places to list stats such as your NetGalley feedback ratio, goals, number of books read, and number of books on your NetGalley shelf. The remaining pages offer a place to store all the information on a book, even your review and favorite quotes.

Other tabs include shelf, stickers, and activities. The shelf tab allows you to add a cover image of a book, the title, author, and illustrator, and there is a sticker download available from NetGalley to add your star rating. The stickers tab provides a place to upload and store stickers for easy access. And the activities tab even gives you pages to track reading challenges such as A-Z and categories, or play NetGalley Bingo.

For those who like to keep everything neat, tidy, and filed away - this could be the reading journal you have been waiting for. Even if you are accustomed to using a pen and paper journal it won't hurt to give this one a try and see if it suits you better. And there is no danger of leaving this journal behind and losing it, a definite plus.

This reading journal has upped my reading game with clear layouts you can make your own reading journal that matches your personality.
The monthly check ins are brilliant and I’ve already started using the journal to document my reading journey. I also love the quotes on the monthly check ins
“No such thing as too many books”
“A book a day keeps reality away” and my absolute favourite
“May your shelves always have room for more” oh my dear reader, this one really resonates with me because I really do hope your shelves have the room for one more good book.

I wasn’t expecting the journal to be so detailed! I thought it would be 10 or so pages so I was really impressed with the size of it. It’s given me a lot to think about in terms of how I track what books I’ve read and how I can be more creative in journaling about them. I’m definitely going to be using the book journal to help me keep track of what k read ad it’s a lot more visual than others I’ve looked at and I’m someone who prefers visual resources.

Love when NetGalley offers stuff like this! Very cute, and appreciated. (Also this is making me do 100 characters, so apologies for this random sentence lol)

A great way to track your reading. The ability to customise is an absolute boon and I especially love the clickable tabs and its simplicity and versatility.

Great Reading Journal! It's perfect to keep track of all the books read and to be read. It even has a place to place stickers and notes

An excellent tool to keep track of books read and reviewed during the year!

I'm struggling a bit to edit the PDF on my phone, so having something like this in an app would be great.
