The user guide is well written and easy to read. It covers how to work with the journal document in two of the very popular digital document editors. It does a very good job of walking a newbie through how to set up and use a digital reading journal, and makes the Reading Journal a more accessible tool.

This is a great way to track books! Easy to use and very helpful. I like how it is set up and thank you for creating this!

This is actually a very helpful resource! The steps are descriptive and easy to follow along with, and it's a fairly fast read. Thank you to NetGally and We Are Bookish.

This guide was very useful and gave me a lot of tips for using the digital journal! I will definitely come back to this for future reference

I found this resource helpful and would recommend it. It was a quick read, and walked me step-by-step through using a couple different apps to make reading journal(s). I plan to refer back to this guide.
Thank you to We Are Bookish and NetGalley for this reading guide!

This is very useful. I was having issues understanding how to use the reading journal before i found this guide.

I love this! It's a great way to keep track of books read, especially if you have an iPad. Storing reviews in a journal like this keeps everything organized.

With so many customizable features within the NetGalley Reading Journal, it is nice to have, on hand this valuable user guide. There are so many useful tips and with the #NetGalleyReadingJournalUserGuide everything is broken down and easy-to-understand.

Helpful! Glad for the guide! I wish this and other resources to better navigate NetGalley was included somewhere other than the main shelf though, as it isn’t an actual book for sale to review like all the rest.

AMAZING....so comprehensive and easy to use. THANK YOU for this amazing gift!!!! 2025 will be my best tracking year yet.

This was a helpful guide! Nice to page through and get more ideas.
Thank you NetGalley and We Are Bookish!

I’m the type of person that does best with a guide when learning new platforms/apps. I certainly couldn’t have navigated the journal as easily as I did without this handle booklet, the two definitely require one another!

This was a really useful guide! It helped me navigate the note taking app. It was laid out really well and I thought it was quite helpful to me!

I was able to create my first journal using this guide. Information is neatly and easily accessible making it super fun to follow. Some information was also very known, so I don't think it was necessary to include. But otherwise, great for people who want to start using reading journals

I love journaling and still enjoy using physical journals, but I've been considering trying a digital format. Thank you for the ideas and helpful tips!

As an avid reader, I enjoyed learning about how to use a book journal. I always wondered how people kept them, and now I understand. I will try it out with the notes app on my iPad!

I am super interested in digital journaling, but had no idea where to start so this is an extremely helpful beginner document! Thank you We Are Bookish for this beginner guide!

Meant to be helpful in keeping track of books that I have read. I currently use an Excel spreadsheet with columns for Downloaded, Reviewed, Archived, Publish dates, BookBub, Goodreads, LinkedIn and Amazon. Particularly necessary for Amazon because no review until they are selling the book.

This guide helped me so much! I was struggling to use the reading journal until I read this guide. Now I’m all set and ready to go. Thank you!
