I like this, I think it would be easier if I had the software to be able to edit a PDF, or a printer. Otherwise though, the layout I like, it's clear and concise and I can see that it would be user friendly with the right software/printer. A good way to journal a reading journey!

5/5⭐

I found this journal by a coincidence. But I am so happy I did.

The journal is so well thought! It really helps with tracking down reading stats and also with the book reviews and keeping all in a verywell organized space.

I love it!

This is a really cool digital reading journal. I like the design a lot. I just can't make it work for me. By the time I got it downloaded and ready to edit, I could tell there was going to be so much copying and pasting that I don't see the need for this now. I like to read, and I'm happy to provide reviews. It seems like it would be very time-consuming to keep up with progress every month. I just want to read.

Thanks to NetGalley for providing this journal.

As someone who lives half their life in spreadsheets, trackers, and cute bookish templates, I can confidently say this NetGalley Reading Journal is *chef’s kiss* for any reviewer or ARC-obsessed reader.

This planner is a genuinely functional toolkit for keeping your reading life organised and reflective. You’ve got space for everything: yearly goals, monthly wrap-ups, detailed review pages, habit trackers, challenges (the A–Z and NetGalley Bingo are so clever), and even spots to track audiobooks separately. The “Best of the Year” and “Reading Reflections” sections are staples for looking back at your reading journey.

Visually, it’s clean and easy to navigate, with plenty of room to customise with stickers, washi etc and I especially love how it’s tailored for NetGalley users. The built-in prompts for tracking your feedback ratio and publication dates make it so much easier to stay on top of ARCs (no more last-minute panic because a review is due tomorrow). If you’re someone who loves combining aesthetics with accountability, this is such a satisfying way to keep all your bookish life in one place. It makes me want to read more just so I can fill it in.

Perfect for: ARC reviewers, BookTokers, book bloggers, and anyone who wants to bring a bit of structure (and joy) to their TBR chaos.

This is a great resource for organizing and keeping track of reading. Surpassed my expectations and is better than other reading journals I've seen and seems easy to use so far. I will definitely be recommending it to fellow library staff that use NetGalley. Thank you!

This is a great starter journal for anyone looking to get into reading and reviewing books. I like the list format, the TBR section. I like that the reviews section was simpler than more complex reading journals.

This journal starts with a welcome that tells you how to use this journal. Also included is an about me page and a place to put your yearly goals. This book has habit tracker for every month and even has a space were you can separate your audio books from your regular books. Included are fun activities such as NetGalley Bingo. This tracker is easy to upload onto Good Notes. The NetGalley Reading Journal is full of color and the tabs quickly get you to the section you want to get to. I feel this a good way to keep track of your books the only downside is that it is not big enough for the amount of books I read as an avid reader, It is well organized and east to use. You can use your I-pen or any other pointer to write notes on your tablet. You are also about to type them up as well if you would like This is a good alternative to pen and paper tracker or if you do not have the familiarity with an excel spreadsheet.
