Lovely reading journal
So easy to use, I imported it to Goodnotes.

Great way to keep track of your reading progress, as well as (future) ARC’s

This guide was filled with great information. It was also extremely helpful in giving a breakdown on what NetGalley is, and what the approval process looks like. I enjoyed the already created journal.

An amazing reviewing resource. Would recommend to people who likes to journal and track their reading, Thank you NetGalley and We Are Bookish for creating this,

This journal is such a thoughtful and generous gift from the NetGalley team—and honestly, it’s awesome! Downloading the PDF was quick and seamless, and it imported into Goodnotes without a hitch. The design is clean, colorful, and fun, with plenty of options to track habits, complete reading challenges, log reviews, and reflect on your bookish goals.

While I’m really excited to use it, I’ll probably hold off until next year since it’s already May. Going back and logging everything I’ve read so far this year would be a bit overwhelming. That said, I love knowing I already have my 2026 reading journal ready to go!

This is a fantastic resource for anyone who wants to organize their reading life in a creative, structured way. Whether you're a seasoned reviewer or just starting your bookish journey, this journal has everything you need—and the bonus stickers are such a fun touch!

Thank you, NetGalley and the We Are Bookish team, for creating something so useful and beautiful for the community!

This is special for tactile learners. Thanks for allowing PDF downloads for the file. It was much longer than I anticipated!

This looks great. Looking forward to using it. Will be interesting to look back through at the end of the year! Didn't realise there were 2 colour palettes to choose from.

I love this journal. Perfect for documenting my reading and compiling my reviews. It is also very helpful in keeping track of my netgalley reviews and new releases on my radar.

I wanted to use this, but I really couldn't get on with it on my phone. I know it's meant to be used on a tablet or computer, but that's not how I do it.
So I pass on this one.
Good idea though.

This reading journal is amazing!!! I didn't expect it to take advantage of being digital and having working links to different parts of the journal, that's just incredible. I wish I found this sooner but I cannot wait to get started with using it. Thank you so much for providing this type of content for readers to use!

This Reading Journal exceeded my expectations! I've been curious about using a digital planner for some time, and this tool to help me stay on top of my reading and reviewing goals and progress is really perfect! It took me a little while to figure out how to use the stickers, and I wouldn't mind if there was a way to include sticker sheets in the journal itself. The accompanying User Guide is really phenomenal (see review over there), and I found it incredibly helpful not just to learn how to make the best use of the Readers Guide but also for learning what apps and tools and processes to use for digital planning more generally. Really could not recommend this journal enough!

So happy to have this as a resource! I really want to start a reading journal, so this is perfect! Thank you!

Love this updated NetGalley Reading Journal! Thanks We Are Bookish & NetGalley for creating this for us all to use. The Bookshelf pages are super helpful to keep track of what you have on your physical shelves or kindle to enter as they come in. The tips & tricks for NetGalley are always useful at the beginning too. Loving the Categories Challenge and the ability to create your own. There are additional free sticker downloads to use as well, don't miss them!

I loved this reading journal! It has been helping me keep track of my books, specially my reviews. This reading journal is user friendly and you can customize it with stickers. I’m excited to see how it looks at the end of the year with all the books I’ve read.

I like the color scheme of this year's journal way more than the last year. I was late to discover this year also had a journal. I am now adding my books to it. I am glad the activities section was kept although I wish there were some differences. Regardless I love these journals and thank you so much for it.

This Reading Journal is so extensive and beautiful! I definitely was not expecting anything this nice so I'm very pleasantly surprised! Can't wait to dive into it now that I've started requesting and reviewing in earnest.

This journal has been really helpful for keeping track of all the books that I want to read and books that’s on my NetGalley shelf.

New colors equal a new twist on an old classic. The reading journal got a facelift for this year's download and I am loving the new color palette. Thank you for making book tracking easy and fun.

There is a lot in this reading journal! A guide also comes with it. Which helps explain how it can be used which is helpful.

This is such a neat little journal! I have lost count of the number of times I’ve started reading journals and then just abandoned them because they were too much work to keep up with. This one is just perfect! It’s aesthetic, to the point, and just makes you want to use it. I especially love the category challenge and wrap up sections.

Okay, it’s official! The reading slump has left the building, and I could not be more thrilled! This deceptively simple little journal totally pulled me back into the joy of reading, and not only that, it somehow roped me into the wonderfully nerdy world of digital journaling too. I now have an entire Notion board dedicated to tracking my reads, my goals, and my ever-growing TBR.

With finances being a bit tight lately, rediscovering a hobby that’s both soul-filling and budget-friendly feels like striking gold. And the fact that this journal was gifted to us - completely free - honestly felt like such a generous offering to the reading community. NetGalley, you’ve officially re-lit the spark in my days. THANK YOU!
