Thank you to We Are Bookish for providing the NetGalley Reading Journal User Guide and the Reading Journal. I am still learning, but this user guide has been helpful in getting me started. I will point out that of the suggested "free" apps, Goodnotes (Goodnotes 6) actually asks the user to subscribe for a price - at least after the basics are completed. So I switched to Xodo and am using it on my laptop. So far, so good! As someone who loves everything about books, I am having a good time. It would be nice to see some of the journaling by other users to see what has been done.

This was a great user guide! I appreciate the details on Goodnotes so I can use the journal on my iPad.

I was flying blind with it at first, but this was a great resource for the best apps to use to make the journal my own. Very helpful, thank you!!

What a fun way to journal your books. The only thing I didn't like is having to pay for the recommended apps to use with the journal. I will look for one that is free. #NetGalleyReadingJournalUserGuide #NetGalley

Very helpful guide and made using the journal a lot easier! Loving using the digital journal, and this makes things a lot easier.

For those who want to use the NetGalley Reading Journal, this User Guide is helpful. It did give me the information I needed to try out the journal (which isn’t something I will actually use). The biggest problem I had with this guide is that the recommended apps to use for the reading journal were pay-to-use (after a short free trial—the one for iOS at least was set up like this) and I had to search to find a different app that was totally free and still did the same things. If you already had the recommended app and wanted to use the digital reading journal, then this guide would be a great help in getting you started.

Was very helpful in getting the reading journal set up on my laptop and phone, I was very lost at first since I've never used a digital planner before. Now I'm set and ready to track this years reading!

Love that NetGalley gave us this! Thank you so much!! It’s so much fun!
I have a journal like this physically but to also have one now digitally is amazing.

Super, super helpful tips and tricks and best downloading hacks. This guide made it super easy to use the Net Galley reading journal. Without it I wouldn’t have been able to figure out the best app to use it through. So great for the bookish people to make this for readers. I can’t wait to look back at my journal at the end of the year. This guide made setting it up, super easy.

This guide is comprehensive and easy to use. While the reading journal is highly intuitive, it’s helpful to have the guide, especially if you’re new to Goodnotes.

I thought this was a Blog post not a Book to Review. At this point in my reading life I'm not ready to start a new way of keeping track of books I've read. Goodreads can be clunky but it's the devil I know.

This was just the perfect handy dandy little user's guide! It was so nice of the Netgalley team to create a reviewer scrapbook for
us to use. I received this complimentary guide from Netgalley to use and review and was not required to write a positive review. The thoughts above are solely my own.

Good FAQ for working with the reading journal! Answered all of my questions. Glad to know I'm already always using the preffered PDF reader ;)

This user guide is great because I liked the idea of the Netgalley journal but I did not think I would use it. Now I know how to start!

So helpful! Thank you so much! This is a great help for using the reading journal, and a wonderful way to track my reads all year long!

5 stars!
Thanks to We Are Bookish for providing this user guide. Will have to fiddle with my app a bit more to learn how to use the stickers properly. Super thoughtful to provide this resource to users! Thank you!

This was actually pretty helpful as I struggled to figure out how to edit the reading journal at first. I didn’t know I needed to upload to a note-taking app to edit, so that was a helpful tidbit for me.
I do wish all of this information was included in the book journal instead of as a separate book, but since the reading journal was already 105 pages, I guess adding the information as a separate book made sense.
Thanks, Netgalley!

This is a super helpful for. NetGalley reading journal user guide. Step by step instructions that are easy to follow!
Thank you NetGalley for the copy. Highly recommend. 5⭐️

It's an informative user guide for the NetGalley Reading Journal. I successfully downloaded the free app to run the journal, but the free annotation tools proved too challenging and time-consuming.

Literally obsessed with the Netgalley Journal and psssttt you guys should make another one!!!! Idk just a suggestion.
