I think that the NetGalley 2024 reading journal is a really fun way to track reading and reviewing. It has given me a few ideas for my own personal reading journal but I will still be using this for my arcs!

I like the pages at the end such as the habit tracker, A-Z challenge, Netgalley bingo, categories challenge, best of the year... The rest is standart (like the pages to review the book), but I actually prefer simplicity!

Such a great interactive journal. I can't wait to start using it in 2024 to keep a better record of the books I read/review.

I would not use this journal. Too much detail for each book read. I wouldn't have time to fill all of this out.

This is such a helpful tool for my ARC journey. I love how easy and organized this book is. Thanks NetGallery!

I'm grateful to NetGalley for gifting this to us, a lot of the features are great but I would like it to auto upload approvals as this would streamline the process. I will continue to use review sites but will try journalling alongside.

I believe this is a well thought out journal.

Starts out with a netgalley website guide, then a page for favorites, followed by a monthly reading tracker. There are spaces for reviews, and favorite quotes. Clear sections for marking netgalley stats. As well as challenges at the end.

As a companion guide with Netgalley, excellent.

I am using it for inspiration. It has a lot of information. However, it is in a digital format I do not find easily editable that I would keep up with it all year. A hardcopy or printing it out would benefit me personally better. Only reason I give it a 4 instead of 5.

Definitely a great journal to track books you've read. It's editable and a great mean by which to tracking your reading habit, and forecast your future expectations. I've already started to inputting the books I currently have in my Netgalley shelf.. I do find it a bit time consuming to input the requested information. It would be nice if the fields could be auto-filled once you selected or has been approved for a book.

I currently manually keep track of all the books I've read recording the title of the book, the author's name, date I reviewed it, and my review.. I am currently using Samsung notes and find it very helpful.

I am definitely going to give this journal my best as that it is beneficial in organizing my books monthly.

Really enjoyed this. Have printed it out to use for 2024. Thank you so much for creating this PDF and sharing it with the NetGalley community ♥️

If I were inclined to keep a reading journal, this book would be useful. However, I don’t do so, and therefore this is of limited use to me. I cannot give this book a fair review, as I am not the target audience.

This is a pretty standard reading journal. It has everything I’d expect and the design is really beautiful. Cant wait to use it in this upcoming new year.

I love this! Such a helpful was to keep track of my reads and very enjoyable. I would recommend to anyone wanting a more interactive way to keep track of their reads

It didn’t help me. Unfortunately, for me journaling would be different, maybe more of just writing, or even a voice journal. I’m sorry, I just didn’t find interest in it.

A well-designed journal with neatly defined sections and adequate space to write your feedback.
it will be a valuable tool for recording all the books you read during the year.
The only thing they could have done was to make it more user-friendly to enter the records, reviews and feedback. It would have been better if it was made into a form-fillable PDF. Annotations in PDF are not easy and require some familiarity and expertise to get it right.
It would be Simpler for the user to print it and fill it with our handwriting, which would be much easier.

Love this! It is such a great idea and an awesome way to track my reads. I’ll definitely give this a try for the new year.

This is really helpful!! As someone who likes to be organized, I always keep a journal of my reads. Having something for the year where I can keep track of my Netgalley reads will be extremely helpful! I love the design of it and how well thought out the journal is.

The journal itself is easy to use and the colors are very beautiful. I appreciate the thoughtfulness that went into designing something for the users of this platform. It helps separate the ARCs I get in the year from the books I’m reading, which I like. It’s very useful and I plan to start using it with the start of the new year and fill it with the books I’ll be reading. Thanks for this!

This was great and I plan on using it to help me better control my requests. I love the layout and found it super useful.
Thanks NetGalley.

Thank you for the reading journal. I's using it already to map out my reading for next year. I like the clip features and the separate pages with the book covers. It might be hard for me to write my reviews in the journal but I'm ready to get organized.
