I already have a physical reading journal, which I prefer. But this reading journal is very handy. If I were a little more tech savvy I’d be using only this Netgalley reading journal. I didn’t care for a journal that comes with a user manual. It should be self explanatory. I guess for people who are more used to electronic journals, this is ideal for them.

The NetGalley Reading Journal is a handy way to keep track of books read each month and throughout the year. The colors, tabs, and information included are appealing and make this an attractive way to record the books I read. Highly recommend reading all the instructions so that you can easily use and navigate the electronic journal. It seems like it will be a valuable resource to remember quotes, key points, and the review itself. I like the fact that I can duplicate pages since I tend to read more than the initial number of review pages included. I honestly don’t know how much I’ll use it, but I’d like to give it a try. I recommend this for those who like a visual, electronic record of the books they read.

This is a very cool downloadable and printable project. I highly recommend it for someone who is into scrapbooking or things like it. A good way to keep track of all the books that you read.

I love the idea of this. I think it would be great to use in the classroom or in a bookclub. The activities at the end look like fun. I will probably use parts of this, but it seems like a lot of work if you are just using it as an individual for your own personal use, unless you have a lot of extra time and like using technology. I don't so much, so I will probably print some of the pages off to use on paper. For me personally, sometimes doing stuff electronically is more trouble than it's worth.

This is a helpful reading journal. I don’t tend to use a lot of printables, but I found parts of this one inspiring. I really like how you can mix and match the different pages, and use what works for you, and forget the rest. I haven’t printed out any of the pages yet, but intend to, as needed.
There were two sections I especially appreciated: The one giving an overview of all the books I’ve read or have to read yet, and the reading challenges sections. I LOVED both of those. But I’m also interested in the monthly wrapups; I think those could be quite helpful.
Overall, I enjoyed getting a glimpse at another reading logging system. Thank you, NetGalley!

This is a nice journal! I like the formatting and that it could be specific to NetGalley or other books I read. Will definitely be using more!

Great option for keeping a book/reading journal. Even though it's not something for me personally, it's great for those willing to take the time to personalize and make their own. Very cool idea.

Too complicated. I never have figured out how to use it. It definitely is not user friendly. It had potential to be helpful.

This is a great tool for keep track of what you've read. Monthly pages provide space for goal setting and recaps, with individual pages for keeping notes on each book read. There's even a bracket for pitting top monthly reads against each other and determining an overall favorite book of the year.

From what I can tell, this is a really cool journal with a lot of customization options. Unfortunately, I have been unable to get it to work for me, but I am grateful for this being available.

Well thought out and nicely organized. It has tabs for a customizable bookcase, yearly goals, a Best of the Year grid, notes, and much more. Not a fan of the PocketBook Reader app, though.

This is great for people that like to make a written journal to keep track of their books. I may give it a shot!

A scrapbook type repository of your reading year. I used to do this when I was younger. Looks good if you like to collect information this way.

Really enjoy using this. Not quite sure how to give feedback though. It's very helpful in keeping all my reading stats within one place.

What a fun way to journal your books. The only thing I didn't like is having to pay for the recommended apps to use with the journal. I will look for one that is free. #NetGalleyReadingJournal #NetGalley

I’ve always liked the idea of a digital reading journal and this one is great. There’s a few things that I wish were in it that I put in my physical journal, but it’s a great journal!

Beautiful Design! Insightful prompts and I love that there's also tutorials! I also like that it's not just netgalley centred and includes personal prompts and goals as well.

This reading journal just isn’t for me. I liked the idea of digitally recording my reads, but I had to first find a totally free app (not just one with a free trial) so I could use it. I did eventually get an app that worked, but actually using the journal was more cumbersome and time-consuming than simply leaving my reviews on Goodreads and using a physical notebook. It might be great for someone else, but I’m probably not going to use it.

Came in very handy to keep track of my books and sub. Perfect design, easy to use. I couldn't have asked for more!

Great reading journal, helpful for keeping track of what I'm reading, physical books, ARCs and the like.
