Thank you for this free gift. It is easy to use and super useful and convenient. It makes keeping track of the year’s reading journey.

I really enjoyed looking through this reading journal! Thanks NetGalley for the little details. It’s helpful to track your reading progress and compile all of your read into one place. I look forward to seeing more tools like this in the future.

Adorable! NetGalley’s Reading Journal is comprehensive and customizable. I was delightfully surprised at the variety of templates included in this journal. I think I was expecting a more bare bones document, but this Reading Journal is actually incredibly practical and I will definitely be using it this year!
Some of my favorite templates include:
Yearly Goals. I loved that this template also included a place to track your NetGalley feedback ratio as well as the more typical “how many books I want to read this year” and general goals.
Monthly Check-In. I appreciated the unique twist on this template, which included a space to add book covers for your “Most Anticipated”, “Favorite Read” etc. It also separates the number of books read by medium (audiobook, e-book etc.), which as a diverse medium reader I appreciate!
Best of the Year bracket. This page was probably the most fun surprise. It is definitely outside of the scope of “typical” book/reading review pages, but is such a fun extra!
If there’s one thing I might like to see added, it would be to be able to easily edit the color scheme of the document or to have color scheme options.
Overall, I highly recommend NetGalley’s Reading Journal as an excellent way to digitally track your reading, inspire social media posts and also organize your reviews for NetGalley.

Thank you for the NetGalley Reading Journal! The journal is aesthetically pleasing, easy to navigate, and allows me to digitally track my reading. I like how I can personalize it and use the features that work the best for me.

Thanks, Netgalley! I love tracking my reading but I read a lot so I need endless options - this was perfect.

Good tool for the avid reader. It was easy to use and understand. I was impressed with how the book worked so well.

Great idea to help me keep track of my reading. Easy to use. I've never kept a journal before but will definitely be using this.

This reading journal is a delight! Easy to navigate, easy to customize, and pretty similar to my physical reading journal. I’m excited to fill it up once my physical journal can’t hold any more.

A fantastic idea. As one with a backlog, this is a great idea to get readers to see their ratios increase and how much reading they have done.
Just wish it was easier to type in the boxes!

This is such a great tool to use! It’s been such a help to categorize all the books I’ve read through NetGalley this year.

Nice book journal, great for keeping track of everything I have to read and have read this year. Looking forward to using year over year

Thank you Netgalley for this end of year treat - very much appreciated it! I look forward to reviewing more books in 2024!

What a fabulous work -- I really enjoyed this helpful tool quite a great deal. Thank you !! 5 Stars

This journal has great potential for helping one track ones reading and remember likes, dislikes and lessons learned.

A great tool to keep track of all the books you have read. Very helpful that you can make notes about each book so you can refer to it. I would recommend all NetGalley participants to have these to keep track of all the great books you have read!

A little gem that will prove to be very useful for my reading journal. Thanks Netgalley for this present!

I really like this journal, it is comprehensive but I'm not sure that I will use all the features. If you want a really detailed look back on the year of reading then completing this journal will be worth your while.
I don't really have monthly reading goals or plans, I just tend to read what I fancy at the time but again, if you do have goals then this journal will help you plan and stay on track.

Love this! It was such a nice thing for NetGalley to do for its members. It was very helpful in organizing my thoughts on my reading of late.

This was a really useful and aesthetically pleasing Journal to keep track of reading in a concise and planned out manner. The layout was appealing and I liked that there was a separate page for audiobooks. There’s a space for goals, a reading wrap-up, and a tally for books read. I do like that the language for each month is referred to as a “check-in” since it feels more personal rather than something that is assigned.

Thank you for this wonderfully put together Reading Journal! I love all the different details I can track in my reading journey. The included challenges are especially fun! And I appreciate the included stickers we can use. Thank you again!
