Loved this NetGalley reading journal!! It was such a cute and fun idea from NetGalley and I was so happy to use it and try it out!

This is such a wonderful way to keep track of what you’re reading and reviewing. It’s aesthetically pleasing and not overwhelming. The editing part is a little hindering but I would love this in a physical form.

Can not recommend this reading journal by NetGalley enough it is so fun and really user friendly once you get used to it, if you’re struggling with it there are even helpful videos to watch that are very simple to follow along with.

The NetGalley reading journal is a wonderful resource for all bookish people. In addition to having sections for keeping tracks of books read and audiobooks listened to it also contains sections to review books and even reading challenges.
The reading journal contains everything I would ask for in a reading journal. There is a yearly goals section, a bookshelf section to keep track of reading and it even comes with digital stickers! Some of the stickers are functional and some decorative.
In the "Activities' section there is a habit tracker and numerous reading challenges. Additional reading challenges are now also available to download and insert.
The Wrap Up section contains a book bracket, a page to record favourites for the year, and a page for reading reflections with guided questions.
Following this there is a blank section for notes.
Each month has been given its own section and the layout is the same for each of them. There is a check-in page to set goals for the month, and track favourites and reading progress. This is followed by four pages of book reviews. Four pages are probably not enough for most avid readers but it is easy enough to duplicate these pages.
The reading journal comes in two colourways, one more subdued and the other in bright sunset colours.
I am using the reading journal to keep track of my NetGalley books and reviews! I am delighted to have such a wonderful tool at my disposal.

This journal is very well organized with everything you need to track your reading in a fun creative way. There can be a learning curve with the digital editing aspect of this, but there are many apps that can be used and a helpful guide to assist if you get stuck. The challenges at the end are great inspiration, and I love the monthly check-ins to track your NetGalley progress. The additional bundles you can download to personalize your journal are just a plus. Thanks We Are Bookish for the lovely gift.

This reading guide is very aesthetically pleasing and has amazing features. It works well with many different apps/softwares. It had many reading challenges and monthly check-ins. Lots of thought went behind making this for sure!!

Great way to keep track of what you are reading if you would rather the more journal type than tracking on an app.

A reading journal is not something I would usually consider., and It took me a while to decide to use this, did enjoyed the journaling journey, and I have also recommended this to several persons at my book club.
However, I personally will not continue with a journal, it was good for me as a one of and something different. I just have other tools I use and will continue to do so.

As of this review, the 2023 version of the reading journal is one release behind. The 2024 version was published on 12/16/24. With that being said, both journals are very similar and full of the same great content.

On my review for the newer edition I mentioned the lovely monthly review pages which are still available here. These are great for setting goals and tracking stats month to month. I also like the yearly goals and stats page at the beginning.

Either version would be a great tool for digital journaling of your reading journey, but I’d recommend the newest edition if you haven’t started filling one out yet.

This journal is a great way to keep track of your reading whilst also including some fun activities, challenges and customisations.
I have never tried journaling so I found myself a little lost when navigating it however after some time it became easier to use with the help of the guide.
I will look forward to interacting with this journal and updating my reading habits throughout the year.

I like the idea of it but finding it a bit hard to get used to, especially with requiring special software
