Such a cute way of keeping track of reading patterns throughout the year. Love the designs of the pages and all the things to think of about what we do.

A lot of thought went into this, and it is well-designed. I probably would have gotten much more use out of it if I was more of the journaling/task-tracking type. For those who are, this is invaluable.

Document Aficionado

This journey is a fantastic resources to help someone outline and follow through on their reading goals. I thought the 5 books someone should read to get to know me was such a neat addition.

I received a free copy of this book from We Are Bookish. I am voluntarily leaving a review. All opinions are my own.

A really clever piece of support from NetGalley. It has taken me a while to get my head around the whole package but that's on me. I'm really impressed with the layout and I'm looking forward to the New Year which is when I plan to start using it. I'll be particularly interested to see if it supercedes what I already do on Goodreads or becomes a useful addition.

Loved the tracking pages for progress. I buy a book planning journal each year, but it was nice to have Netgalley's pages represented and printable for me to add in.

I love this event. and I also love NetGalley. I would like to thank all people that are part of the NetGalley and We Are Bookish team. You did this year so much fun and exciting for me and all readers I think.

This Journal helped me to better myself as a reader and reviewer.

Thank you so much for this journal. I am extremely excited to start using it for the new years and track my reading habits over 2025. I was looking for something like this.

This is cute! I like the front cover design but wish the NetGalley logo was a little more aesthetically pleasing (sorry!) considering it is a reusable journal. I really like the "5 books someone should read to know me" section in the beginning. I think that's a great idea. I appreciate the stickers section, but do wish there was an easier way to add photos other than just copy/paste, though that may be something more paywall/paid content-oriented. The challenges are so fun and I appreciate the popular online ones like A-Z, Bingo, and brackets being built in.

Really Helpful!

NetGalley's Reading Journal really encourages reflection on reading experiences which I loved. This is a great way to keep track of the books I've read.

Perfect reading journal to track all of my reading goals! I love that it's separated into months so I can keep track of my monthly goals as well. I will definitely be using this for 2025. Thank you NetGalley!

Fabulous, love the ability to keep track of my different reads and even my personal goals. Amazing stickers. Will be using going into 2025.

Thank you for this journal, NetGalley! I haven't used it yet but it appears really comprehensive and useful.

This is so helpful! I knew I wanted to use the journal but had quite a few questions about how to make it work for me and this guide more than covers everything I need to know. Thank you, NetGalley!

I love how this journal has space for me to print out photos of the books and add them! Plus the built in place for reviews. Can't wait to use this in the new year.

I’m grateful for this Journal because I wanted some time to sit with my thoughts when writing reviews, and I also love to keep track of the books and ARCS I’m reading. Very useful!

I tried to download this on my kindle which didn't work well. I haven't used it.

I will try to download on my laptop and see if that works better.

It looks great.

Thank you.

I have used bullet journaling to keep track of my personal habits and goals for a few years now so there were several features that I really liked about this guide. I liked the links at the beginning that would take me to specific locations in the journal. I really liked the layout of each month. The challenges at the end look like they will be fun and will look gorgeous when completed. In the Xodo app on windows, there were weird artifacts on the document that make it less than visually appealing. For example, there would be random letters overlapping other letters in titles. I wish there was a master calendar at the beginning as I have found having a visual of "due dates" has been really helpful in tracking my reviews and reading. But overall I am excited to try this!

This is so easy to use, way easier than I expected. I can update it on my computer and phone in addition to a tablet. It helps me keep track of things so well. Definitely going to be my go to in 2025.

I found the idea of this really intriguing and was eager to try it out. After reading the “how to” guidebook, I wasn’t quite as eager. First of all, you have to download an APP to use the journal- an app that you pay for. That completely turned me off. I do still think this is a good idea, but it just didn’t work for me. I’ll stick to my own type of journaling, both on paper and through Goodreads and my personal online journal. But for those who don’t mind going through the app and using this, it can be a plus.

Recommended with caveats.

I usually use Google Docs to draft my reviews and Goodreads to keep track of my books but this could be a handy tool for someone who wants to use more of a journal format.
