I am so excited for this project! I have not bought a book journal in years. They're not really flexible. I only wrote a few things and then abandoned them. Fun to find and look back upon, but that's it. But a digital one. And I already had the GoodNotes app and was familiar with it. In fact, adding this journal to that has made me revisit a few notebooks on GoodNotes as well.

I like how the journal begins with a trip down memory lane. Favorite author, genre, first book you remember reading. This journal gets readers. I appreciate the TBR section. I need to get a handle on my to be reads, and I hope this will do it. I also like the monthly pages, to track how many books, ebooks, and audio books we've read. I love going over that at the end of the year.

But more than all that, I love that I can pick my phone up and add in a few lines that inspire me. I would like to review a lot of things more in 2024. Books obviously, but other items as well. When we find something grand, we need to share it.

Thank you to NetGalley for providing this option for their members! It’s hard to find a good, free, digital reading journal. This is a great way to keep track of reviews.

I needed a digital reading planner to see if I would prefer it to a physical reading planner, so I was psyched when NetGalley offered one! I haven't been approved for an galley this year yet, but I've had a blast setting it up in preparation for when I do! I'm excited to see how I continue to feel about it, and if it can help me keep up with my galley requests!

Such a cute way to keep track of the books you read! Definitely perfect for the people who don't want a physical journal or are just starting for the first time.

I love a good reading journal. This one is easy to use with a lot of great features. I love that you can click on the tabs to jump from one section to another without having to scroll. I’m using this in notability and it uploaded with no issues.

Thank you to NetGalley for this cool Reading Journal. I liked that the pages were easy to fill in. And the downloadable format makes it easy to be able to add pages as needed. This is the downside of most reading journals out there.

This space has been such a fun way to be kept in-the-know about titles from my favorite publishers and authors. I appreciate all that the Netgalley team does to keep users and publishers active and engaged!

This is a very nice journal. It does what it's supposed to do. Not much else that can be said about a journal.

This reading journal is pretty simple and straight forward. I enjoy using it while I keep track of my 2024 reads.

Thank you for your feedback on the Netgalley Reading Journal! I'm glad to hear you're enjoying the current features, such as the "My Bookcase" template and the variety of bookshelf categories. Adding additional bookshelf templates with a greater capacity sounds like a fantastic idea to accommodate avid readers.

Expanding upon the individual book review templates and incorporating layouts like the "Best of the Year" section are noted as positive aspects, which we'll aim to maintain and enhance.

Your suggestion for a Year Overview spread or monthly layout with space for upcoming book release dates is brilliant. This addition would indeed help reviewers stay organized and informed about their reading schedule.

Regarding the Habit Tracker, while aesthetically pleasing, we'll evaluate its practicality to ensure it's user-friendly for all readers.

Expanding the available writing space on pages like the Yearly Goals and Monthly Trackers for goals is a great point. We'll consider allocating more space to accommodate detailed goal setting.

Thank you again for your valuable input! We'll work on incorporating these tweaks to improve the overall experience of the reading journal.

Thank you for the Netgalley Reading Journal! I love the blank "My Bookcase" template and different categories bookshelf, encouraging you to read more widely. Perhaps we could have another bookshelf template or two with a greater number of books for those speedy readers? The individual book review templates are great! I'm also a fan of the Best of the Year layout.

I'd love to see the tweaks below to make the reading journal even better! I would love to see a two-page spread Year Overview of dates, or a monthly one, with space to write upcoming book release dates. I think this would help reviewers stay organised with their reading and reviewing. I'm not sure how user-friendly the spiral format of the Habit Tracker is (as pretty as it looks!) It would also be handy to have more blank space to write per goal on the Yearly goals page and the goals section on the Monthly trackers goals.
