A lovely idea, but not particularly well executed. Whoever chose the color palette needs to learn the basics of color theory. Those of us who are committed, avid, enthusiastic readers deserve better than drab muted tones. How about offering some choices? A serene, cool palette for the those with more cerebral leanings. A warm, vibrant alternative to express excitement about what we read. And the requirement of an additional app to write in the journal is somewhat cumbersome. Surely there was a better format available. However, the free gift is appreciated. So, thank you.

Thank you to NetGalley for the Reading Journal. I've never used a journal to track my reading before, but might have to give it a shot with this handy journal and all the stickers they provided to use along with it.

Thank you so much NetGalley for this cool digital reading journal and all the accoutrements! While I usually record physically there's a ton of fun stuff in the packet to play with so maybe I'll make the switch? Who knows! It was really thoughtful (and a great way to bump an extra review).

Easy to use and a really fun reading journal! I was able to quickly download it onto my iPad and start playing around with the journal. A fun way to also look back on your reads for the whole year. I'm happy it will also help me draft my reviews when I write out my thoughts.
Thank you, NetGalley for creating this and making it accessible. I am looking forward to feeling more organized with my book reviews and releases.

Cute but I won’t be using it. Seems better as a printed version and I have no where to do that. Thought it would be some fun templates to use on socials.

The NetGalley Reading Journal by We Are Bookish seamlessly combines the format of a traditional journal with the practicality of a NetGalley reference guide.

This journal provides a well-structured platform to organize NetGalley reads, making the reviewing process more efficient. The user-friendly design makes it a wonderful companion for streamlining reading and reviewing workflows. I'm looking forward to using this reading journal to capture my reading reflections and organize my reviews in the new year!

This is an excellent journal and I’m looking forward to using it and updating frequently. I love the idea of documenting the books I read so I can look back at the information later. Thank you for sharing this with me!

Thank you for the free journal. I downloaded it to see if it’s something I would find useful, and dutifully added the GoodNotes app, which purports to be free, but very quickly and repeatedly started prompting me to pay for the upgrade. I then tried to navigate the sticker download process but gave up - I’m not all that gifted technologically. I log all my books and put all my reviews on GoodReads and that’s not going to change, so this journal feels like an unnecessary duplication that would just reduce my available reading time - the last thing I need. I certainly don’t want to have to watch YouTube videos to learn how to use it correctly!
I’m sure this would be useful for younger and more digitally savvy readers, but right now I’m going to leave it be.

I've been working on getting my journal organized for 2024, but I am so loving it! I think this will be super helpful in my journey to get my feedback ratio up to and hopefully past 80%.

Thank you for this resource!
