This is a good use of a journal for netGalley users. It does have a lot of printables available. I couldn't figure out the stickers though.

I loved this. So easy to follow, clearly written, and really very useful if you have never had or written in a reading journal before. Definitely worth checking out.

Definitely a useful tool by netgalley! I sometimes ebb and flow on exactly how I like to keep track of my reading, and how in depth I want to do so, so I was excited to give this one a try!

Such a wonderful reading journal user guide. Lots of good information for me to utilise in my reading journey, I would recommend other people on NetGalley to also download this as it’s definitely going to be useful.

This guide contained knowledgeable information. It was less extensive than I thought it would have been, but still useful. Thank you.

Another amazing resource. Thank you NetGalley & We Are Bookish. It's great to refresh my knowledge on these things every now and then. Very clear, great graphics, would recommend to both new and old users. Accessible and helpful.

This journal guide is super simple and to the point. Thank you for giving me the information to utilize the Netgalley journal to the best of my ability!

This Reading Journal User Guide far exceeded my expectations. I've been curious about using a digital planner for some time, but couldn't really figure out how to make it work on my tablet, which is an Android/chrome situation. I really couldn't figure out how they worked if you weren't using an iPad. At any rate, here I find that Netgalley has made a phenomenal digital readers journal which is ticking a lot of boxes for me (separate review over there), but the User Guide is the clearest most concise explanation I've read (in hours of poking around the internet) for how to use a digital planning PDF on a variety of devices! Thanks to this document, I've learned how to use a digital planner, and accessed a fantastic tool for staying on top of my reading and reviewing process! If I could give it all the stars, I would!!

I'm so happy to have this resource! It'll be really helpful for my dive into book journaling! Thank you!

Definitely a great idea but wish there was more instructions on how to use it for people who aren’t familiar with pdfs.

Thank you NetGalley & We Are Bookish for creating the Reading Journal User Guide. It's super helpful for those that haven't used a digital reading journal before and included a ton of helpful tips to get started with the programs suggested even for someone that has used one before! Don't forget to follow the links and instructions to download additional stickers for your journal.

I think it's so cool that y'all included a User Guide for the NetGalley Reading Journal! Definitely feel more comfortable knowing my questions will already be answered if I run into any issues. Super considerate!

Love this journal. Easy to track your favorite reads. Provided as an end of the year gift by Netgalley. Thank you for the download. I will put it to good use.

Definitely very handy with teaching you how to use the reading journal in the best way! Very grateful!

Thank you NetGalley for providing a helpful and easy-to-follow guide for using the reading journal. I appreciate the effort to help reviewers stay organized throughout the reading and feedback process.
The instructions were clear and focused mainly on Goodnotes and Xodo, which are great options. I personally use Notability, and while it wasn’t specifically mentioned, I found the journal easy to navigate. I feel that as long as you're familiar with how your note-taking app handles PDFs, it’s very user-friendly. I am unsure if there is a way to tailor it to all PDF friendly devices. If, so I'd recommend updating the guide so that people don't feel like they cannot use the reading journal if they do not want/know how to use Goodnotes or Xodo.
A great tool for staying on track with reading goals and reviews!
* I wrote on Goodreads that it is 4.5/5 stars. However, there is no option for half stars *

I absolutely loved the NetGalley Reading Journal—it's a thoughtful and flexible resource for any book lover. Because it’s digital, it’s incredibly easy to customize: I appreciated being able to duplicate review pages or remove extras as needed. The reading challenges were a fun touch, and the variety of blank page styles at the end (lined, grid, dot, etc.) made it feel even more personalized. It’s a beautifully designed tool that really supports and celebrates the reading journey.
Thank you NetGalley, Quarto Publishing Group – becker & mayer! | Epic Ink, and We Are Bookish for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.

This was so helpful and easy to understand! I will be using the reading journal for my NetGalley ARCs and reviews

It’s a user guide so pretty self explanatory. Easy to download and read. Tells you what you want to know. It was clear and concise.

This was very informative and was a super helpful tool in accessing and utilizing the digital journal! Thank you!
