Can't wait to use this, loving the sunset palette! I really like the challenges at the end of the journal and there are so many spaces for books so you won't run out!

My first time using a journal of this time. If you are a journal person, then this one is for you. The stickers you can download and add to it. The easy way to track your books and progress. It's a list maker's dream journal.

I LOVE THIS READING JOURNAL! I'm so excited to have found it! So useful! I love the monthly check-ins and book review. The graphics are cute. The extras at the end are useful/different too!

Loved the color options and the challenges.
The monthly check-in page is once of the best features in my opinion. I prefer all reviews to be together, I think this is the only thing I don’t love in this planner. Was excited for the sticker page, but it is blank…
If I didn’t already have a book journal, this one would be my go to!

The NetGalley Reading Journal by We Are Bookish is an absolute gem for any book lover—especially those of us who enjoy keeping track of our NetGalley reads and ARCs. As a longtime user of NetGalley, I’ve often struggled to stay organized with reviews, reading deadlines, and impressions. This journal solves all of that beautifully.

The layout is thoughtfully designed with clear sections that help you log your books, jot down notes, and rate each title in a structured yet flexible way. I especially appreciate the dedicated space for things like publication dates, publisher info, and whether you've submitted your review—small but essential details that are easy to overlook. It keeps me on track and helps reduce the last-minute scramble to post feedback.

Visually, the journal is clean, bright, and inviting. The design has a fun, bookish vibe without being too cluttered or distracting. The prompts throughout encourage thoughtful reading and reflection, and there's even room for quotes or character notes. Whether you're a casual reader or someone reviewing dozens of ARCs a year, the format works for a variety of reading styles.

This is the perfect NetGalley reading journal for everyone who enjoys it a bit more colourful than the last one!
The colours are vibrant and fun! Although I enjoy the look of the last journal a bit more, I would absolutely use this one as well!
The content of this one is (as far as I noticed) the same as the old one, which I like, since I enjoyed using the "old" one.

Useful little tool.

I was happy to discover I could use this on my Kobo Clara Colour as well! While I can't add cover photos, the linked tabs work and can be marked up using a stylus. Great to have it right next to my digital ARCs as a note-taking/review-on-the-go option.

Decent reading journal. Not formatting for the way I review and read. This default journal will serve the purpose for many, but I have my own format that I prefer.

This is incredibly useful! I didn't think it would be such a practical handbook. I do recommend it to everyone who wants a pretty and complete Reading Journal.

I love everything net galley and this Journal just adds to that love. Book review pages and challenges were great additions to meeting my book goals As well as having a tracker. The neck alley teen certainly listens to its readers and knows what we enjoy.

I found the jounal useful.
I would probably change the layout of few pages and put some additional things into it.

I really like and appreciate all the time it took to create this reading journal for Netgalley users. There’s lots of stickers and embellishments. The tabs are very helpful as well.

A very helpful printable booklet for keeping track of finished books and TBR. For those who prefer keeping hardcopies of their book reading adventures.

I love this year's reading journal! I got it late in the year but I've now filled a good chunk of it and love how it looks like :)

This is the perfect tool for reading ARCs and even regular reading. I cannot wait to start using this! The best part is that it’s timeless so you can use it over and over again.
Thank you to We are Bookish and NetGalley for this journal.

Love this reading journal, can't wait to start using it. Thank you so much.
I have always struggled with how to organise and track my reading, it has ended up being all over the place. I have tried apps, writing in a physical journal and the notes app on my phone and it all gets really confusing. Excited to try this reading journal and seeing if it works out for me, hopefully this is the one that will finally keep me organised.
