I think this journal is so much fun! I like that it's electronic, so I can edit much easier. I like being able to paste in the book covers. I like that I will be able to use it year after year too! What a great resource!

This is a cute and useful way to track your reading. I love the color scheme of the journal/journal guide and corresponding stickers combined with the simple, but impactful, line drawing illustrations. I had some difficulty figuring out how to add the stickers on my ipad (an older model), though I think that is more of a user error. Overall, I really liked the journal and am thankful to Netgalley/We Are Bookish for making these!

I’ve been looking for a journal just like this! The individual book entry pages are exactly what I needed to be intentional about what I’m reading! This was a wonderful gift! Thank you NetGalley team and WeAreBookish!

This doesn't appear to be mobile friendly or at least I can't get it to work on my iPad or iPhone, I will attempt to download it onto my laptop for the simple sake of being able to explore the options being provided to us by Netgalley. I truly appreciate them providing this however just truly wish I could get it to work on my mobile devices as that's where I do most of my reading and therefore my logging for reading activities - having to log into the laptop to add to my journal is just not super convenient and not really what I was looking for from a digital tracker standpoint.

This has everything you could possibly want in a reading journal from being able to track your reads and your Netgalley shelf to book review structures and so much more.
I just need a tablet or computer to take advantage of all it has to offer as it's a bit small on my phone to fully get to grips with it.

A very comprehensive reading journal with a lot of information that's still easily digestible. Looking forward to seeing how I can incorporate this into my 2024 year of reading.

I'm new to book journaling, but this seems like a great intro for me! Lots of detail and aesthetically pleasing!

I most likely won't be using this, as I'm not that fancy with my recording of reads, but it looks like a really nice setup for those are into this sort of journaling. It's very detailed and has everything you could want, The activities and challenges look like they'd be a fun way to expand your reading and try different genres.

The formatting and style wasn’t totally for me but I love the concept so much! I liked the variety of trackers and the specificity to NetGalley book tracking and reviewing. I think it would be great if there were multiple design/layouts to choose from so people with different aesthetics could select colors or maximalist vs minimalist designs.

I love it, it’s a great way to organize each one of the books we will be reading through 2024, the design has coherence with the identity of NetGalley, which I appreciate.

I loved this! Very cute designs and easy to use. Would definitely recommend to other readers to keep track of all the books they read. I like to have a journal as well as Goodreads so this was very useful!

I have been trying to figure out how to stay on top of all my Book Reviews and what shows up on NetGalley but this amazing NetGalley Reading Journal by We Are Bookish. I spent hours getting it organized and understanding how to use it. I love it! But sad to say there is only one area I am still struggling with and that is the stickers. I will solve it though.

Thanks for your hard work putting this together to help all of us who write book reviews.

This is such a helpful resource for anyone reading and sharing reviews on NetGalley. Love the template ideas that make sharing so easy!

I really like this and the fact everything links to other sections in its electronic format. As a person who enjoys physical items, I think this is something I'd like to print. Given that, I think the monthly tabs down the side should be their own separate entities so they can be easily snipped of and have a full rounded tab I can cut along. The slight overlap looks great digitally, but if I printed it, I might be annoyed my tabs didn't all look the same when I manually eyeballed the cut.. I would also personally like to see a start date on the My Shelf portion. I know it's included in individual title sheets, but it's something I track my own physical reading journal.
