Really loved and enjoy this journal! It's made me want to get a physical copy, because it's quite therapeutic looking back at your reads, and spending time updating the journal, etc.

A fun, thoughtful, and beautifully designed resource for readers! The NetGalley Reading Journal is perfect for tracking reviews, setting bookish goals, and staying motivated throughout the year. I love the customizable features and creative touches—especially the free sticker bundles.
Thank you, NetGalley!

I love this reading journal. It has a nice and organised design and is easy to use.
The links are such a nice touch for when you want to journal on your laptop of tablet.
The 'getting started' section is very clear on how to use the reading journal. I also adore the first "My Shelf" page on how to track the different kinds of books you read.
I'm going to use this a lot!

Wow!

A really cute journal to keep track of your books, thoughts, and reading habits/goals. The format is great to be used on the computer or a tablet or even to be printed if you're feeling a bit old school.

Will definitely use it and recommend it to fellow readers.

I added this as a digital reading journal in Goodnotes, and this free resource EXCEEDED my expectations!

It has helpful tips for reviewing, a place for notes, cute reading challenges, a place to store stickers that you wanna use, your own Book of the Year bracket, a shelf with space for the book’s cover and rating, etc, and monthly detailed tracking!

Someone put a ton of thought into this, and I can see it being a wonderful resource for reviewers!

A very user-friendly and comprehensive reading journal with a lot of fun extras like a best of the year bracket and Netgalley Bingo.

A fun and vibrant color palette, tons of interactive activities, and an incredibly user-friendly layout — everything about this journal stands out.
I already spoke highly of the previous Reading Journal, and this one only reinforced how much I love the concept. I’ll definitely be using it throughout the second half of the year, and I can’t wait to see what you come up with next!

The NetGalley Reading Journal is the perfect companion for every reader. The PDF format is easily editable and is accessible on tablets and more advanced e-readers (such as the Kobo Libra other e-readers with a stylus) to keep track of your reading and NetGalley goals.
We Are Bookish also added fun reading challenges to spice things up throughout your TBR and NetGalley shelves!
If you want to visualise your reading and keep track of your goals while keeping things organized, you need this reading journal!

This reading journal is so much fun, there are so many options like stickers and all. Very customizable. I really enjoyed exploring the features. Thank you.

This was a fun edition of a reading journal! I will not personally be using it, as I already have a journal that I enjoy, but I did like looking at it for the inspiration. I'm going to be honest and say that I'm only writing this review so that my feedback ratio goes up. I doubt the publisher is actually going to read this.

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!

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.
