I had good intentions of using this journal, but it turns out that I ended up sticking with my handmade template. Something about my own work makes it easier.

I think this would be a great book in another format (in electronic version it's not editable to be worthwhile) but I love the ideas for tracking and stat keeping. If you're a stat tracker reader or a book challenge person, this would be a great purchase.

Absolutely LOVE this! What an awesome way to support readers with tracking their reading and their reviews/ratings of what they've read. Appreciate it. Thanks!

I am not a journal keeper. I did not realize that we are to give feedback on this reading journal. I appreciate the Reading Journal but I will not be using it.

I love this and cant wait to use it! I love how the journal is organized and able to be shared amongst readers. I've been wanting to have a reading journal like this for a whole but I'm not good with making them from scratch so I like that this is a free and easy journal to use

I really like the looks of this, especially for future NetGalley readings. An excellent setup for recording all the NetGalley readings and any notes.
I'm just sorry I didn't get this earlier, but I will start recording with my first NetGalley read, as I'm just a beginner on NetGalley.

This is so cute! I've been looking for a reading journal, but none that were my style, or had the layout I was wanting. Thank you so much for the complimentary copy!

I really like that NetGalley put together a reading journal where I can privately post my thoughts on books I’ve read/am reading - thank you NetGalley team!

This is a wonderful resource for book reviewers and those aspiring to have book related social media followings. I love how easily customizable the pages are. If you're looking to get more organized with your reviews, this may work for you!

“NetGalley Reading Journal” published by We Are Bookish
Interesting and I am sure I know people who would love this.. But I have developed my own system for logging my reading that works well for me. From what I have gathered so far I would need to acquire the app to upload this PDF into … learning to navigate the new app and this PDF application = too much like work for me. If I had the time to play and an artsy inclination…. This could be a dream come true. There are sticker bundles to make your journal uniquely yours, too.
You will need the ‘Reading Journal User Guide’ get it and read it.

I like this NetGalley journal and plan to start using it with my next NetGalley read! It was created with the reader in mind and has lots of different activities and review prompts/material. Very useful!

Thank you for NetGalley and We Are Bookish for the opportunity to use and review this Reading Journal

The NetGalley Reading Journal is a comprehensive reading journal, perfect for ALL bookish tracking (not just NetGalley use).. It contains annual goal pages, monthly sections for book reviews and summaries, plus challenge pages and blank dot, lined and grid pages for setting up your own spreads or long form notes. There are page variations for tracking audiobooks as well!
If a page or tracker that you want is not already included, you can always draw/create your own. Plus you’ll never run out of pages/space like in a regular notebook because digital journaling allows duplication and insertion of pages!

I have kept a reading journal for the past 2 years, and this digital version has what I would normally include, or the flexibility to create what I would need. The added benefit is being able to undo/erase and copy/paste images with ease. I especially loved adding book covers for the visual appeal of “seeing” my reads.

You can choose to be as minimal or extravagant as you like, by using the basic prompts or adding stickers and other embellishments. You are only limited by the platform that you import the journal into (and your creativity).

Overall, I would recommend this to anyone wanting an aesthetically pleasing, digital journal. Preferably someone who is digital friendly or open to learning. Beginners to journaling will have all the tools and pages to get started.

Love the journal and the functionality of the ideas! However, my biggest issue with actually using the reading journal is the recommended apps. For Apple users, at least, a recent update has made the recommendation a little different and no longer free. I could trial the programs, but lost the same quality of functionality when that ended. I’ve tried with other apps, but can see why those recommended were shared. I’m hoping I may have just used the wrong app, but I’m not sure.

When it came to the journal itself, I loved the contents and am interested in printing a copy to use! I love the ARC tracker and relatability to NetGalley specifically to keep on track of my percentage. Also loved that this journal wasn’t bogged down with too many extras I wouldn’t use. It’s widely applicable, but not too long.
