Reading Journal Review

A massive thank you to NetGalley and We Are Bookish for the e-ARC in exchange for my honest journal review! 🥰🙌

While I am still working through how best to use the journal on my tablet, but I am LOVING it so far. From the clickable tabs to the super fun stickers, readers will enjoy being able to access all their notes and trackers in one cohesive place. I go back and forth between physical and digital notes, so maybe this will encourage me to finally move fully digital?

Gratitude, always.

I really enjoyed the different features to track what and how I'm reading. The sections were laid out well and gave me tons of options and even ideas on tracking I hadn't thought of.

NetGalley's Reading Journal, what a game changer.for me Being an avid reader, I feel this will help me keep track of all the books I have read and am currently reading. This Journal will allow me to keep track as I am reading.

This free, downloadable PDF is a fantastic tool for those looking to keep a journal of their reads. The monthly check-ins, and habit tracker are a great way to be current with what you are reading, it covers everything. The attention to detail is fabulous.

I give the NetGalley's Reading Journal a complete 5 star review I would encourage every reader to use this.

Happy Journaling.

I started using this right away
I suggest downloading it to a tablet or Google Drive so that you have it with you always
It is set up in journal format and even has tabs for the months and shelves
You can add the book cover, and basic info such as publication dates, author, etc.
It even has a place for audiobooks
They have included everything you could want or think of - it even has stickers
Each month has its own chart to keep track of reads, goals, and reflections
It also has an end of the year-wrap up
It would take me pages to completely describe all the little extras that NetGalley has included to make your reading journey that much more memorable and easier
Highly recommend for bibliophiles

Very easy to download and get started. Great stickers to use to brighten the pages. Easy to import book covers and personalize.

This is a great way to keep track of the books read. I love that this journal can be customised with the downloadable stickers and can’t wait to use it.

It's taken me some time to jump into using my NetGalley reading journal, but I am really enjoying the ways it allows you to track the books you request and read via NetGalley. It's nice to challenge myself to read books within specific categories (books starting with specific letters, NetGalley Bingo, etc.) I am a mood reader, so this can be challenging at times.

I love how innovative NetGalley is. This was a great idea for a digital journal. I’d love to see more cool add ons like this from this site. You know us readers love reviewing our yearly reads and looking back on our favorite books.

Thank you !

It was an interesting read and very handy. I’m unsure of my ability to journal and I want to do more research.

This is so well written, and thought out about makes a great reading journal for us readers. We get so many books and need something to help us keep track of them and being able to write about them. Has a place to put a visual of the cover.. Has
reading challenges, and even reading bingo.

It's a wonderful way to be able to look at all the books you have read and have added to your life experience. I have journals from years ago where I have written down my books and love looking back through mine.

Can't wait to use mine.

So thank you netgalley, we are bookish for doing this and thinking of us.

Accidentally downloaded both colors but loved them so much that I am using both in goodnotes! Thank you so much for the free journal. It’s exactly what I needed to organize and have fun with NetGalley!

such a neat way to organize your reading and goals each year! i'm used to monthly trackers, so the yearly stats were really helpful to me. specifically having my tbr staring at me whenever i opened it; having a space for the covers made it a lot easier to remember to read those books. also, the habit tracker at the end is super cool, and i've used it to track other activities and health too. it's really nice to be able to duplicate any page so you can add more books, more habits, more goals, whatever you want! plus, there's blank pages at the end (with graph and dot grid options!!) that you can use for more review space.

I thought this was a great little journal and have taken some prompts to use in my own. Good for beginners to journalling.

Love it! Thank you, NetGalley. I’ve saved the journal to GoodNotes and can’t wait to dive in and get started!

Thank you so much for sharing this with your users! I really enjoyed learning about it, but I also learned that journaling isn't much for me!

This little journal has the perfect balance between tracking all the best things about reading and not needing to provide too many details which often puts me off being consistent. I have always been picky with reading journals and find there are often aspects of them that I don't want to use. However, with this one, it is clear that NetGalley & We Are Bookish are in tune with what online readers track most often. I also loved the space to add the book covers and stickers - I'm not very good at drawing etc. so this made me feel creative without getting frustrated. I hope there is one for 2025!

Loved this reading journal template! It is actively helping me track my reading and surprisingly, keeping me motivated to stick with it.

As someone who always loved having planners in school, and still uses them as an adult, I’m so into this reading journal!

There are sections for each month to track your NetGalley ratio, reading goals, and book reviews, as well as other sections with activities, stickers and more.

I’m still rather new to NetGalley, so it has provided me with some guidance and is a great kick of inspiration.

This was super easy to setup and get started. The journal comes with a lot of features that are easy to understand and flip through! Adding stickers into the journal was also quick and easy. I look forward to using this journal throughout the year!

I think it looks great but it doesn't seem very intuitive and easy to use. I'll work on it a little bit and see if I can figure it out. Thank you for offering the option!
