Easy to use/navigate.

With appreciation

I really want to love this, but I am finding it very difficult to navigate and use. Great in concept and it's beautiful to look at but not as user friendly as I hoped.

I loved the idea of this activity, however I found it slightly confusing and wasn’t entirely sure what to do. Also, I didn’t have a lot of time to commit, so it’s probably mostly user error. But five stars for the idea.

I love this journal. It’s such a fun way to keep up with your reading love and an outlet to be creative at the same time. I think the format is so easy to use and go through.

Love it! Great for newbies and regulars alike.
It allows you to organise your bookshelf and set challenges and I just really like it 💙

Love this although haven't started using it yet!!

The design is absolutely divine and Im mostly writing this review now because, I need to up my feedback ratio!

I love this reading journal. It helps keeps my thoughts organized and I love the place to store stickers. Maybe a section for books you didn’t like as well. I only wish it was shown which was the best program to use the digital journal in.

I am still learning to use this amazing feature, and so grateful it was given... But its exceptional that it was even given and I am excited to use it!

So many fun details! I really like the illustrated bookshelf pages. While I prefer to keep track of my reading stats and reviews with a physical journal and google spreadsheet, this offers some great inspiration!

I've never been good at keeping journals. I've started many, many times. I've purchased and been gifted so many beautiful books of blank pages to use as journals, and I find myself inexplicably navigating towards them when I go to a stationary store or bookshop. My most successful attempt at book journaling has been through Goodreads, which I know many people have abandoned since its acquisition by Amazon. However, it is easy to use and since most of my reading is done via my Kindle and either NetGalley or the Libby app linked to my two library cards, it is a seamless way to track my books.

All that being said, now that I am freshly retired, and reading much more than when I was teaching full-time, I can see that the NetGalley Reading Journal may be something I could enjoy using. It is online, which is a big plus for me as I prefer typing to handwriting, and since it lives in the cloud, it would always be with me even when traveling.

The design and format is very appealing. I may give it a start at the first of the year in 2025 and see if I can become the journaling person I so badly want to be! Thank you NetGalley for so many great reading experiences.

Fun way to track my reading. Good layout and had everything I needed and some new ideas I wouldn’t have come up with. I go back and forth with a paper reading tracker and this one.

Great Reading Journal template. This is all I need to keep track of all the books efficiently. However, I always find PDFs a bit daunting to handle and I reckon an Excel format would be way more appropriate and easy to modify. Thanks for the material.

"Absolutely loved this—10/10! Please make more content like this, as I would really enjoy it even more!"

This is a really fun journal for tracking reading through the year. I liked the blank pages. I kind of wish this was a part of the NetFalley app so that the tracking could be done digitally

I love this and greatly appreciate the journal! It is fun to reflect throughout the year and plan my TBR!

If there’s one thing I’ll openly admit to myself, it’s that I live in absolute chaos and I need things to structure and organise myself.

This is perfect. Journalling has never come easy to me, but seriously this has majorly helped me keep on track, keep a record of everything important and ensure that the chaos doesn’t overcome.

This is such a great tool for NetGalley members. I’ve never done a book journal before, but this resource really inspired me to want to try it next year. There were lots of fun pages for interesting challenges, and I liked the themed monthly dividers. It’s very aesthetically appealing, simple, and well organized.

I would say if there is one downside, it’s that because it’s an annual style journal, I felt inclined to wait until January to get started versus being able to just jump right in. It would also be nice to be able to customize the colors since these are a bit earthy, and I do gravitate towards brighter colors.

I’ve never used a reading journal or journaled electronically before, but after taking a look at this tool, I might have to give it a try!

I love this reading journal. Netgalley has done it again! I’m so thankful for the opportunity to read and review!

What a great way to keep track of my every growing TBR! Thank you to Netgalley for offering this.. I am finding it's easy to use and helps me. Reading is my passion, but I also work full time so I needed a great way to keep hold of my life!

This reading journal is incredibly well laid out and is a great example of what a reading journal should look like in an easily digestible format. It includes some very useful 'Getting Started' basics and provides some useful links. The functionality of it is pretty good as well and there are clear instructions on how to use it to its best.

Definitely worth looking at and using!
