The NetGalley Reading Journal is really good. I haven't used it yet, but it looks easy to use and plan to use it in the future.

Looking to level up your reading life? The NetGalley Reading Journal from We Are Bookish is just the thing to help you bring both order and joy to your bookish adventures! Whether you’re a hardcore reviewer or just trying to remember what you read last month, this journal has you covered with spots for tracking finished books, curating your never-ending TBR, capturing favorite quotes, logging ratings, and reflecting on your reads.
One of my favorite parts? The "About Me" section and space for yearly reading goals! It’s such a fun way to start the year by setting your intentions as a reader and seeing how your habits evolve. Plus, the "My Shelf" page is genius—it lets you visualize your personal and digital libraries in one place, which makes organizing (and avoiding double purchases!) so much easier.
But wait—it gets even better. This isn’t your basic book tracker. It comes packed with fun extras like reading challenges to keep you motivated, themed prompts to get your creative juices flowing, and space to jot down reviews (perfect for keeping up with all those ARCs). It’s designed to make reading feel even more rewarding, without ever feeling like a chore.
And for all the digital planners out there—yes, it has LINKS! You can click your way through the journal, which makes it super convenient to use on your tablet or computer. It’s sleek, easy to navigate, and totally customizable to your reading style.
Huge shoutout to NetGalley and We Are Bookish for gifting readers this gem. It’s not just a journal—it’s your new reading BFF. Let’s just say: this year? It’s about to be booked and busy!

This has been incredibly helpful for tracking all my reads! I’ve never had one before, and now I cannot imagine living without it!

I was looking for a reference material for a book club and I found the Reading Journal and it gave me so many good ideas! Thank you so much for putting this together and organizing it so tidly!

NetGalley’s Reading Journal is an excellent starter guide with creative ideas and templates for staying on top of reading and reviewing. I am so glad I read this. I’ve wanted to get better at tracking my reading and setting time aside to organize and formulate my thoughts better, and this is exactly what I needed. I would love if there was more detail about the habits tracker. I think that resource would be very helpful for me, and people like me, who struggle with focus and staying on task until the task has been completed. In any case, I know I will come back to this journal frequently and I look forward to taking advantage of this journal. Thank you to NetGalley and We Are Bookish for this resource.

I have only had this journal for a short time. This is my first time keeping a reading journal, so I am having a hard time remembering to update it. I have added a reminder on my calendar to update it at least once a week. That seems to be helping so far. I love the way I can track different stats that I hadn’t thought of tracking. I love that there are spaces on each review page for a favorite quote. It’s so hard to pick just one quote for some books!

I was expecting a lot of lined, blank space but was pleasantly surprised to see creative ways to approach reading goals and tracking.
I like that there are several choices and ways to approach reading goals. The book shelves with their different spines to add your titles to your own book shelves, complete with stretched out cat are really cute. The habit tracker spiral offers a colorful and unique way to complete habit tracking. The colorful tabs, and graphics make the often mundane tasks of record keeping more interesting and fun.

This has all the pages one could ask for. Beautifully clean and waiting to be filled with readers’ thoughts, memories and reviews. Loved it!

Good basic reading journal.
Has enough in it to keep track of my ARC reviews.
Great that it’s free.

Thank you NetGalley for providing me with this cute reading journal. This journal was so cute and was perfect for my bookish needs! Thank you again NetGalley!💕📚

The journal is perfect for beginners of journaling or people who like to keep it simple. I‘m a great fan of the new, more vibrant colors.

I can’t believe We Are Bookish gives these away free?! So easy to use and well designed. I love the colour palettes used, it’s giving ✨dopamine✨

Downloaded this on my iPad and it’s easy to fill in the pages. Gives me a spot to put in all my thoughts while reading as well. Which always helps, so I can write a review that’s actually helpful to readers. Thank you Netgalley for providing this!!

This journal comes in super handy. It’s perfect for keeping track of you books and arcs. Not only is it digital but you can also print it out.

Thank you for making this!! Submitting my review so it doesn’t count against me. The tabs are super helpful and I love using them to track my reading on my iPad.

Love this reading journal it’s so helpful for all of my planned reads. So easy to use I have uploaded it too Goodnotes with no issues thank you for this

I jus5 got my first tablet, so I've been looking forward to be able to use this journal and all the pretty stickers from netgalley when I'm keeping track of my reading. Love that it seems to be a new colourway every year!

Thank you to NetGalley for giving us readers this amazing reading journal! I love being crafty and I always have amazing ideas of putting a reading journal together in a notebook with all my stationary, but it just never happens.... But I do want and need a place to keep up with my reading, especially since I'm reading more than I ever have as an adult... And because I review, I like to keep notes on what I'm reading and my feelings throughout so I am able to leave a detailed review of my thoughts on a story. The fact that NetGalley gives this to us readers for free is such a blessing, especially with how expensive everything else -- I just can't afford it. And I'm so thankful to be apart of NetGalleys community because I am able to read AMAZING books before they are published, all they want is my opinion! How crazy amazing is that? Anyways, I 100% recommend taking advantage of this amazing tool - to keep up with your arcs and other books you read each year. How fun will it be to look back on the stories that changed us?

I've finally started using this and it is great. This reading journal makes it so easy to stay organized and have a creative digital reading journal.

Such a fun concept for a reading journal, definitely something worth using. I’ll be saving this for when I have an IPad.
