I love this so much thank you very much for the wonderful NetGalley reading journal. It helps so much wish at the very least trying to keep track of all of my arcs

If I can find a way to print this out and actually use this journal, it will be amazing! Thank you for providing it. It's a fun way to keep track of all the books I plan to read in 2025!!

Lovely that this is a free resource. Not only is it free, it also high quality! I typically use digital planning tools so this was a wonderful surprise. As a new member of NetGalley, this resource provided insight and guidance on how to get started and stay organized in the process. All the links work, instructions are clear, and customizable options are limitless. I think even if someone has never used GoodNotes or similar apps for digital planning could figure this out.

It is very well made and makes it very easy to track one’s own books. It’s great that each month has a review but you also have an overall review. It would be great to have an actual physical copy of this.

The idea of a reading journal is fun, and would probably work fine if I was on a computer, however, I was looking for a journal that would work on my Kobo Libra Colour, so that I could do a quick review as soon as I finished reading the book.

The sections are handy, I like the templates, and the links between the sections work well on the computer, but it wasn't as easy to use on an e-ink device. So some of that is format, and some is the limitation of my device, but over all, not quite what I was looking for.

The NetGalley Reading Journal was a quick and easy PDF file to download. I was pleasantly surprised to see how creative and unique it is, simple yet classy and very helpful. I wish I could print out the whole journal but the document is over 100 pages, I would love for NetGalley to give readers the option of obtaining an actual physical copy of this reading journal in the future. I think this would also make a perfect gift for any bookworm especially for the holidays!

This is a beautiful and simple digital way to keep track of your 2025 reading. The design is mostly easy to understand and utilize in a PDF with clickable tabs and links all over! My favorite example of the tabs are the positive quotes each month has -- ex. "Read with Pride" for June.

There are lots of opportunity to input book covers throughout, which I personally enjoy doing rather than typing out titles and authors.

My favorite section has to be the "Activities" because there's so much opportunity for creativity.

The only thing that something that a personal physical tracker would have and this doesn't is the ability to customize demonstrating how much you read rather than the auto-4-books-a-month guideline in this copy. I'm also a bit confused by the "Upload Stickers" page and wish that was clearer because e-stickers are a super fun idea.

Love this, thank you so much NetGalley for the reading journal! I will have a lot of fun tracking my books.

I’m very much a paper copy kind of a gal, even if I read a book on my kindle I find myself still wanting to purchase the book. Excited to use this to track all my reads on net galley this year!

Love this!! It’s so cute! Plus I can print extra pages each month if needed. This will be a great tool all year long.

The journal’s design is tidy and easy to navigate, making it simple to use and stay organised.
I love the “check-in” pages, which allow you to track your progress over time—these were such a great motivator. The habit tracker is another fantastic feature, perfect for staying consistent with reading goals.

What sets this journal apart are the creative reading challenges, like the A-Z Challenge, NetGalley Bingo, and Categories Challenge. These add a fun and engaging element to your reading journey. The “wrap-up” section at the end is the perfect way to reflect on your progress and accomplishments.

Neat reading journal for keeping track of arcs and reviews! It's got lots of spots for reviews and has a place to put a picture of the book. I can't wait to use it!

A really great template!
It combines a lot of fun features I’ve seen in other templates such as the bookshelf and reading challenges. I especially like that the pdf is interactive so you can flip to different sections. I’ve been wanted to get into reading journaling but haven’t bitten the bullet to buy one yet so it’s so great that this is a free one I can start with!

Good digital reading journal for tracking all my 2025 NetGalley reads. I used this last year as well

Beautiful, intuitive and useful reading journal. I like the color scheme, the line illustrations, and different metrics.

I enjoyed using this to keep track of my reading as well as my BookFunnel statistics. This is the first year that I’ve used this. It worked really well to be able to insert pictures of the cover, keep track of audio, physical, and e-book consumption. I’d also let me look at the various genres and sub, genres, authors, and narrated readers that I’ve tried throughout the year. If you like tracking your books and reading habits, this book was very helpful in doing that this year. I’ve already started tracking on my 2025 books.

A very easy to use digital reading journal, amazing that it is free as well!!
Great to use on an iPad

So happy to have this to use for another year, with new colours. It’s a great way to see all the books I’ve read in one place and I like doing the challenges

Okay, let me just say, this NetGalley Reading Journal is IT! Like, where has this been all my life? The design, the features, the vibe—it’s giving everything it needs to give. From the moment I flipped through it, I knew this was about to level up my reading game.

First of all, the challenges? A-Z reading, NetGalley Bingo, habit trackers—y’all, it’s so fun it doesn’t even feel like tracking. And the “Favorites of the Year” section? Genius. It’s such a cute way to reflect on my top reads and see my best bookish moments all in one place. They really thought of everything to make this feel special.

As a mom of three, my time is precious, but this journal helps me carve out moments for myself and track my reading progress without stress. It’s like having a personal cheerleader reminding me to prioritize my love for books, which is so necessary in this busy life. I don’t have time for complicated systems, and this journal keeps everything simple and fun, so I can focus on what I love—reading!

The best part? It’s super easy to use and makes staying organized feel effortless. I can keep track of my NetGalley shelf, log my reviews, and set goals without feeling like it’s homework. And those review pages? Perfect for jotting down favorite quotes or random thoughts before they slip my mind. It’s like having my own little bookish corner that stays neat no matter how chaotic life gets.

This journal doesn’t just track your reading—it celebrates it. Whether it’s hitting a new goal, discovering a new favorite, or just reflecting on your reading habits, it makes the whole experience feel special. It’s like it was designed to make you love your reading journey even more.

If you’re about that bookish life and need something that works with your busy schedule, do yourself a favor and grab this journal. Trust me, it’s the one you’ve been waiting for. Five stars, no question!

It sure is colorful! Overall, it is a pretty basic template for those who prefer digital journals and use a tablet.
