Excited to start using this reading journal to really track my NetGalley ARCs and stay on top of the books I am approved for!

I love the journal! I like the colours, which I find very comfortable. The structure is simple but very well organised and contains all the trackers a reader needs!

This guide looks useful but it also appears to have a bit of a learning curve. I do like reading journals and currently use both The Story Graph and a small physical notebook to track my annual reading. I look forward to exploring this app and will return to provide more feedback once I have had a chance to use it for awhile.
Thanks to NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this guide.

This is a very cool resource to have if you are getting a lot of ARCs through netgalley and prefer an online book journal. It’s easy to use and makes the tedious part of book journaling done. All you have to do is fill it in.

This was a fun and a great way to track my books.

It includes cute stickers that you can use to personalized your journal as well

A great way to keep track of my reading! It really encouraged me to be mindful of what I am reading (and when .. no more doom scrolling at night!) and it helped me achieve my goodreads reading goal.

The NetGalley Reading Journal is so helpful and informative for planning and organizing a readers book habits efficiently.

This is hands-down the most comprehensive, informative, and fun reading journal I’ve ever seen! Each month has a “check-in” page, and the Book Review pages give you plenty of space to note your thoughts. The journal includes an Activities section, complete with a habit tracker, an A-Z title challenge, prompt bingo, color-in trackers – super fun games to play with yourself throughout the year.

There are clickable tabs at the top and side of the pages that send you to the different sections, and clickable links throughout the journal.

You can tell that a lot of time and care went into making sure there were easy-to-follow instructions for every aspect of the journal. Every section is well thought out and thoroughly explained. And did I mention that they included stickers? Who doesn’t love stickers?!?!

The Welcome page mentions that they recognize their readers’ passion for books, but it’s apparent that the team at NetGalley shares the same passion as we do.

Thank you for this helpful reading journal! This was helpful for me as I navigated my reading across NetGalley and other platforms.

I definitely prefer physical planners in general but this is still a fun resource! I love how simplistic the design is while still being aesthetically pleasing. I could use more in-depth instructions on using the planner, but otherwise, it's great!

I love this reading journal provided for free to net galley users! It's so nice to be able to keep track of my reading on all of my devices (though the good notes app). There is a section for everything! I love the color palette as well.

If you are a fan of Digital Reading Journals, this is for you! I still prefer paper/pencil, but if I were to transition to digital, this would be the one I go with.

This is honestly so helpful! I didn't have access to the software they recommended, so I used Canva, and wow! I like how there's separate sections for everything. I feel like it would be a really cool journal, like a paperback or a hardcover or something, for readers to use. It's very handy to keep track of everything bookish.

♥️- It's customizable, so I can make it work for me and my reading style.
♥️- It helps me stay organized and on top of my reading schedule.
♥️- It's got some really helpful prompts and exercises that make me think more deeply about the books I'm reading.

NetGalley Reading Journal is a total must-have for anyone who loves reading and reviewing books. It's helped me stay focused, engaged, and organized - and I think it could do the same for you😍

When I first joined NetGalley, I did not understand what this was for, but after learning more about the world of digital planners, I had to check this out. This template is really well done. While I don’t see this fitting in with my preferred tracking style, it’s inspiring for me to create my own. I like the color scheme and sticker set. Definitely a great starter set for those looking to track their book reading goals and adventures.

So slayful!!! I loved it so much! Most of the screen time on my ipad came from looking at my journal LMAOOOO. All the little activities and stickers were so much fun. I only wish it was a little more colorful. The muted colors just were not my vibe but I still used it basically everyday lolzzz.
