This reading journal is a great resource for NetGalley users! It's well-organized, easy to use, and aesthetically pleasing. I love the check-in pages at the beginning of each month to track goals and the coveted ratio. My favorite part is the Activities tab - it has such fun things to do! Overall, this reading journal has been very useful in managing my ARCS.

This makes keeping up with my current reads a breeze and so fun as well as organized! I love that it is so easy to navigate with headings like home, shelf, stickers, activities, wrap up, and notes then is also easily accessible with each month of the year labeled. Not to mention, there is an easy to follow “NetGalley 101” for new users that I would have loved to read when I first started requesting titles here. Also, don’t miss the habit tracker to track your daily/monthly reading and fun activities at the end of the journal! Use this journal to keep track of your reviews and higher your NetGalley ratio. There’s also so many templates that could double as booksta content posts!

Easy to use, with tons of features! A great ebook journal to keep track of your reading and reviews throughout the year.

So thankful to receive this free digital journal! It's well designed and clearly a lot of thought has gone into it, I also like that there's plenty of opportunity to personalise it how you want to.

Unfortunately it's not quite for me as I think it'd work better on a tablet device or computer as opposed to mobile and I personally still prefer physical paper journals. It's definitely a great idea for those who prefer digital journals though!

A lovely idea to help you keep track of what you are reading and a reminder of which books you especially enjoyed and why. A must for any serious NetGalley reviewer.

This is cool. I like it. I will be trying to use it throughout the year and I am glad we received it. I am happy to have this and thank you very much for it.

I have found this reading journal extremely fun and useful, both in cataloging my reading here on NetGalley and in my online book clubs. I love that it has a space to log your NetGalley ratio specifically, as well as the books currently on your NetGalley shelf. This has made it easy for me to keep up with my deadlines for reviewing. I also enjoy the dedicated spaces for showcasing pictures of the books themselves, favorite quotes and the descriptive “to be read section” that includes: “first read,” “most anticipated” and “best cover.”

I do wish there was more space for notes, but this isn’t so much a criticism of the current allotment, but rather the realization that I can never have enough space when writing about books.

I appreciate that the layout of the book journal is simple, which makes it very functional, and my current go-to journal, while also offering plenty in the way of detail about the books I’m reading. I have gone back to it many times to remember specifics about books I’ve already read to give recommendations to friends.

Thank you to We Are Bookish and NetGalley for providing me with a copy of this reading journal.

This reading journal is well designed, but unfortunately it is not useful for me. I like the paper ones more than the digital ones. Anyway, thank you for the nice surprise.

This is a really great concept! Super helpful for ways to organize books to keep track and help stay up to date on reviews!

This reading journal is so detailed! I can’t wait to implement it in my reading/reviewing processes!! Thank you so much to Netgalley for the wonderful gift ❤️

This is a really great journal. It includes everything a netgalley reader would need, thank you for creating this!

When I first downloaded this journal I thought Wow! This is awesome and looks like I could get lost in here doing all sorts of things. I loved that it had the months separated and I could, if I so choose to do so, add in the books I’ve read each month and review them as well as add stickers. It really looked like a lot of fun.
Here’s my problem. Firstly when it downloads, it goes to safari and is only on a tab there. This so easily could be deleted accidentally from my iPad if I wasn’t paying attention or it had a glitch which wouldn’t be the first time that happened.
Also, my biggest issue…. I don't know how to use this journal! There are no instructions and try as I might I cannot seem to do anything with it. I’m sure there are plenty of people who did figure it out but it was frustrating for me and I gave up.

I have not used it yet but I am planning to log in all the books I have read so far this year. What I love about this are the activities and how easy it is to navigate. I have always wanted to journal my thoughts on different books I read and while I do prefer a more hands-on approach, the ease these provides will probably have me more willing to engage with it.

Thank you NetGalley for creating this digital reading journal. I have not yet used it but I love the idea of having a template for all this bookish.

I appreciate the inclusion of pages in this reading journal; they encompass everything a reader needs to monitor their reading progress and to jot down reviews – straightforward and uncomplicated. It's a review journal that readers can easily personalize and utilize for tracking their reading journey.

This is look like good idea of tracking books. I think, I will print it out and use in paper but it will work also for those who wants to keep it in digital format. The most I like is the ideas of book challenges, it would be interesting to participate, like the A-Z challenge or bingo. Thank you NetGalley for providing a free copy of the reading journal.

I would totally buy this as a printed journal! It's a really great way to track my books and have more fun with it.

Muito útil e organizado, ótimo para organizar as leituras do ano. Muito útil e organizado, ótimo para organizar as leituras do ano.
