This was a great tool!
I loved the simplistic, clean journal approach.
Easy to use and helped me stay on top of my reading goal

This is a super comprehensive reading journal. I love the shelf section and the end of year reflection. It could get a bit overwhelming sometimes but all in all, a very good tool.

This was a really good thing I definitely be getting something think this and recommend to all my book buddies 😍😍

Cute reading journal.
I love the options too.
And that it is netGalley specific.
I have not been keeping track via a journal this year. But this is definitely a top contender.

I think this is a really good journal!!! It has everything that you will need for you to journal and have fun customizing it!

I'm definitely going to be using this next year! It's too late now to start, but it seems so fun. My personal favourite thing is the genre colour-in sheet. It gives a different thing for each month to fill in your reviews! Although it only gives four per month, not sure if you can add more?
Anyways, I really love this and I'm so excited to use it next year.

I've been loving my NetGalley reading journal! I use it as a template as well for my physical reading journal and love the month-to-month setup of TBR lists, reading challenges and goals, and book reviews! I also really enjoy the ability to add stickers to this digital journal. I think that sets it apart from some other digital reading journals I've seen in the past. I will continue to use the templates from this journal for my physical journals for years to come. Thank you NetGalley for providing this for your members!

This was super helpful for me to track my books that i'm reading!
I will be using this for a very long time!

Loved the monthly check-in’s and the colors! Will definitely be using this to record my monthly reads.

Love having something like this. Glad I got it. I’ve told a few people about it and how it helps with your ratings and tracking of books

As someone who is extremely picky about how I track my reading, this was so fun and refreshing!
I like that it’s a digital place where I can just go back and change my mind (cause it changes a lot with each new book I read!). Definitely will keep it in my arsenal!

This reading journal is such a fun and cute way to keep track of books you’ve read and loved! Highly recommend!

This was a really cool concept, beautifully designed and incredibly comprehensive, but it really required too much manual effort to be useful to me so I never used it.
In all honesty, after downloading it, viewing the instructions and realizing I'd never make the effort, I literally never looked at it again and forgot it existed until I decided to check in on my shelf and clear out items that I hadn't reviewed.
Netgalley should really just work with LibraryThing (they have an API, but they also have a fairly sophisticated import process).

Seems helpful for keeping track of the books. I'd actually love a version that had the Title/Author/Pub Date in addition to a section for Archive date since that's often how I prioritize when I read the books. Otherwise, downloaded easily to Notability.

Great journal for tracking your NetGalley books. I made a PDF copy and copied it to my remarkable 2 tablet, so I can use it like a normal notebook. I use this while I'm reading to compile my thoughts and notes, then reference it again when I'm writing my full reviews. Great toolkit for anyone reviewing books or for someone who just likes being able to organize and track what they read.

I got this more to screen than to use, as I find that I still prefer actual pen & ink to record my own thoughts. But this is well-organized and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.

This is a super handy reading journal, that is incredibly well designed. There was a lot of thought put into it that makes it perfect for readers.
The actual design is well balanced with a more nature color palette of green, golds, and browns. It includes multiple contents such as yearly goals, trackers, stickers, challenges, bingo, wrap up bracket, and tabs for the months. There's a lot of versatility and flexibility to fill out how each individual reader wants to allow. There are over 104 pages to potentially fill out.
It's perfect for any book lovers that also love to track their reading outside of platforms like Goodreads or that love journaling. Everything is clickable so I can see it transferring over to GoodNotes or other similar note taking apps. Even if a reader has their own physical reading journal, The NetGalley Reading Journal provides a great framework for ideas and concepts to move over to one's physical journal like the NetGalley Bingo.
Thank you to We Are Bookish!

What a clever, fun idea! I love that you get to use stickers and that there are activities included. The fact that everything is laid out for you is so helpful.

This was not what I was expecting. I can see how this can be useful for some people, but I don't like this much structure when I'm documenting what I read.
