I absolutely love this reading journal! I downloaded it today and uploaded it into my Goodnotes app. I can’t wait to start having everything organized in there and make it my dedicated ARC reading journal. I enjoy reviewing ARCs through NetGalley and this will just help me to be more organized and I like the goals for every month. I’m currently working on getting my feedback ratio above 80%. Now I have this journal to help me.

I loved the look of the NetGalley Reading Journal, the way the tags were arranged to make it easy to keep track of reading through the months.

I downloaded the journal and the instructions. Also I downloaded the App so I could edit the journal. I was able to edit and add information but I found it very clunky to use and not very user friendly. Perhaps if I had an Ipad and an apple pen it might have been easier.

Not sure if I have enough time to persevere. It has already taken a lot of my reading time to get started.

Poor format so unstable and annoying. Not for me sadly.. a good idea but let down by poor execution unfortunately

I wish this was a fillable pdf. it makes it unusable, but i like the formatting. If there was a better way to utilize this, i would have given five stars.

Love this, it's super helpful for keeping track of my arcs and provides a lot of helpful information about NetGalley. The layout is clean and easy to navigate. The artwork is lovely and the color scheme is super pretty! Absolutely love this!

Very well organized reading log. It has everything I need and the user guide made it easy to figure out how to use it.

Looks like it literally has everything you could need to keep things organised and keep track of all your reads and reviews

I normally don't keep reading journals just because they tend to end up feeling more like work than anything else.

However, after being gifted this, I may change my mind. Not only is aesthetically pleasing to me, I also like the layout. The journal itself is actually fairly beefy without being overly cumbersome with interactive tabs that make it easy to navigate. It also straightforward and easy to use. As someone whose never used a digital journal before, the learning curve was relatively small though I am still learning.

While not the most beautiful or inclusive, there's nothing I feel needs added to make it complete. It feels like a solid product.

I liked the netgalley reading journal by we are bookish. I feel like it is well made and can be really helpful to track your readings as well as your ratings. I was looking for a reading journal like this one and i'm really happy netgalley provided me with an arc. I wasn't expecting it to be this great because i had a hard time finding a journal like this one. This journal ticks all of the boxes for me.

Thank you so much, I really enjoy it. I do wish there are some more functions. I wish there were check marks for format. Also if the book made me cry or if it was spicy. I would like to use this for other books I read so they are all in one stop.

Interesting journal, but not something I use. I tend to keep track of my books through Goodreads or Amazon on what I read. Having a journal doesn't help me in the sense, that I need it or want to use it.

That sounds like a wonderful initiative by NetGalley to appreciate and support their dedicated community of book advocates. The NetGalley Reading Journal seems like a fantastic tool for members to track and enhance their reading experiences throughout the year. The customizable review pages, reading challenges, monthly check-ins, and habit tracker provide a comprehensive way for readers to engage with their books and fellow community members.

The inclusion of a User Guide and free sticker bundles adds a delightful touch, allowing members to personalize their journals and make the reading experience even more enjoyable. It's evident that NetGalley values its community and wants to contribute to the joy of reading.

For avid readers and reviewers, this thoughtful gesture from NetGalley is likely to enhance their bookish goals and foster a sense of camaraderie within the community. Happy reading to all NetGalley members using this Reading Journal!

I've been looking for something like this for a long time and to find it here was really meant to be. It's just the way I pictured it; neat and perfect to fill out.
Can't wait to have it printed and bind :)

Great Journal! It has all you need to keep up with your reading and all around the year books you enjoyed (or not that much). I really like the challenges and already started two of the. So many interesting things to find in it. Not gonna spoil anymore.

I love this, but unfortunately Xodo keeps crashing on me every time I try to edit it. I think I'll print this out and use it that way maybe.

What book nerd doesn't love a fresh approach to organizing their book collection?! This interactive digital reading journal is fun and easy to use. My favorite parts are the book challenges like "book bingo" and the "ABC challenge." If you're an avid reader who prefers digital tracking over traditional journaling, this is an excellent choice for you!
