One of my favorite reading journals, thanks for providing us with a free one to use! It's simple and easy and helps for staying organized with out reads

This guide was very helpful. Thank you so much NetGallery! I managed to understand how to use Goodreads properly and now I can begin to use my reading journal.

Thank you for the reading journal and instructions! All of the little extras like book lists, articles, etc are really appreciated.

Really helpful guide to the reading journal which answered any set-up questions I had!
The links and FAQ section made for a straightforward read and made it very easy to get stuck straight into the journal which I have been loving!

Thank you NetGalley for step by step instructions for downloading and using my new reading journal. Not only providing a new journal but instructions with stickers for journaling setup. Along with Goodnotes, this will allow me to further my reading hobbies.

Ein kurzer Guide zum NetGalley Reading Journal
Alles wichtige wird gesagt, denke ich. Aber der Guide war für mich persönlich nicht so hilfreich, weil ich die Plattformen (wo der Guide beschreibt, wie man das Journal in diese einbetten kann) nicht welche sind, die ich nutze.
Aber gut auf den Punkt bringen könnte es der Guide.

I like the idea of keeping track on the items you read and rate on Netgalley. Here is the thing, I like this idea if I could write with a reasl pen or pencil. In this more digitial age, I still prefer writing in this manner(unless it is a research paper) but ofr pleasure my go to in still handwritten.
One thing, I defintely like about this concept Netgallleys are advance reads so it is a great way to look back at your Netgalley readign and see how your thoughts and opinions mesh with others.
And who knows, it could be a journal so good...

See review dated January 5, 2024. The guide contains instructions for making a reviewer's work easier and more manageable. Several tips and a video are available.

Thank you, We Are Bookish team, for creating this guide! I had downloaded the NetGalley Reading Journal but had no idea what to do with it. This guide helped me see the possibilities for using it on my Kindle Scribe to track my reading for the year.
Although the guide doesn't offer suggestions for using the Kindle Scribe, I thought you'd be interested to know that it's been a pretty good experience. While I can't add stickers or book covers, most of the other features of the journal are working well. It would be great if you offered some guidance for those with writing-focused eInk devices like the Scribe or the ReMarkable in the 2025 edition.

Very nice way to keep track of your reads. Lots of tips and tricks found wonderful journal to look back on favorite books or if you’re like me remember if you’ve read.

NetGalley Reading Journal User Guide by We Are Bookish was such a helpful guide to using their amazing reading journal!
Thank You NetGalley and We Are Bookish for your generosity and gifting me a copy of this amazing eARC!

As someone who is trying to get back into this NetGalley game, I find guides like this to be super helpful. I would recommend to anyone looking to grow their account. Thank you, NetGalley for these tips and helpful handbooks!

The reading journal is a great resource. This user guide gives me all the details on how best to put it to use. It has many features and I found this user guide to be helpful. Thanks, NetGalley!

I'm so happy to finally be able to digital journal from my Android phone and this guide is so easy to follow

NetGalley Reading Journal User Guide provided by We Are Bookish is a helpful guide to using the journal that became available at the 24 New Year. There are several ways to use this journal that I had not been doing but seem very helpful in keeping up with books read and reviewed or even want to read. Thank you for the journal and the guide.

This is such an enjoyable tool. My very first digital journal that I’m still learning to use but it has been very user friendly so far for me.
Thank you NetGalley

This was a really helpful guide and I really apreciated all the information within it! I love journaling online and in written form about what I am reading and this was a wonderful push further into that!

I greatly enjoy using this app, however, as it is a PDF or a GoodNotes file, you need to have one or the other to access it. I suppose you could print the sheets but, ultimately it's either the PDF or GoodNotes.

Useful for trying to determine how to use the reading journal on my phone. Unfortunately, I was unable to do so.

This is a guide to using the reading journal.
It explains what the different sections of the journal are and how they are meant to be used, even if I think that anyone can “adapt” according to their creativity.
It is a nice and simple guide that explains how to navigate the journal on its different pages.
The only suggestion I have is to update the tools suggested to be used to modify the journal. According to this guide, they are all free, but that is not correct. They all have a demo-free version where you can use the journal in reading mode. If you want to modify it, you have to go to the paid version of the application.
It is a pity, actually, that there are no free tools listed if someone wants to try making a digital reading journal.
