I loved the idea of the camp. I think it brings book lovers together and boosts desire and need for ARC reviews. I was so grateful to discover this in July, which is also when I started my bookstagram.

The NetGalley Reading Journal is an amazing tool to keep up with all. of the books that you have read. With the easy layout, the journal will help you with the memory of all the books that you have read over the years. I also enjoy the activities at the end of the Journal, which is fun and different than the other journals that I have seen. It is fun to look back at the journal and see how your tastes in genres have changed through out the year. And just to revisit some of your favorite reads!!

I have tried to download this two or three times and I don’t know where it goes, so unfortunately, I cannot give this a very good rating. I am not that great at technology, but it seems that it should be pretty simple. I like the idea, but it’s just not for me.

This is fun, I like it. I would want it in print, not ebook format, and I think that would make a big difference for usability

This is the perfect tool for reading ARCs and even for regular reading. I cannot wait to start using this! The best part is that it’s timeless so you can use it over and over again.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for this journal.

This is a great way to track your reading journey. Perfect for new reviewers. While I use other tools, these were insightful.

This is my first time accessing the Reading Journal, after becoming a NetGalley user, earlier this year. I love how the pages are set up to document all of my reads. I also love that you can use the Journal digitally or print it out and use it as a physical journal. And having access to the journal as a PDF, means you can print as many of the pages as you need to for your book reviews.

The Reading Journal is a really great resource and I am looking forward to utilizing it, for my reading.

This was nice! I tried to get into digital journaling, but unfortunately as a new mom, I just don’t have the time to invest in learning how to navigate this. Thankful to have tried it out, though!
Was only a bit complicated to figure out with all the links and information pages.

Thanks for this book journal. I haven't used because the having extra paper and cutting and pasting is not my forte

Can’t really review since very difficult to use on the electronic device I had. It certainly looked nice & in book form could have been very useful, or perhaps on a different device

I absolutely love seeing my progress throughout the year on Goodreads and even better. StoryGraph. So this acts a bit like that only in physical form. If you’re a journaling girlie this would be right up your alley. I quite like the mixture of templates for social media and the activities too. I find those to be more appealing than printing out the rest to keep track of my month to month reads as apps make it much easier but if you like something to physically hold, this is the perfect combination.

This is a beautifully designed reading journal but I’m so bad at keeping up with things like this. I prefer to keep track of my reading through goodreads or storygraph. Thank you for putting the time into designing something like this!

Love me some reading journal!

Journals are always necessary for me as I love to jot down anything that comes to mind. I've just rekindled my love for my reading so this journal would be of great help as I want to keep track of all the books that I've read. This one is simple and easy to navigate, which makes it a joy to use. I absolutely love the colors; they add a vibrant touch that makes journaling even more enjoyable. The content is just right, providing exactly what I need to document my reading experiences. It strikes the perfect balance between functionality and aesthetics, making it an essential companion for a book lover like me.

Great way to track the books you have read! You are also able to get a user manual that will help you if you are having trouble figuring out how to use the reading journal!

I love it, thank you! This is a lovely little thing and I'm going to use it, thanks Netgalley for making this for us :)

This is really interesting. Could be good for anyone who isn’t already tracking their reading. And also, reads less than I do, lol. Thanks NetGalley!

This is a great idea, I love the images and the fact that you have a whole years worth of templates to use.

I think this is beautifully made and I would love a physical copy of this reading journal… but I can’t really figure out how to use it in its digital format which is a shame.

I guess I'm just too old, but this wasn't practical for me. I can't figure out how to use it on a device and I find I like paperback journals to record my books.

I love they way it's laid out and might decide next year to include some ideas from it into my paper journals.
