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.

This has all the pages one could ask for. Beautifully clean and waiting to be filled with readers’ thoughts, memories and reviews. Loved it!

Good basic reading journal.
Has enough in it to keep track of my ARC reviews.
Great that it’s free.

Thank you NetGalley for providing me with this cute reading journal. This journal was so cute and was perfect for my bookish needs! Thank you again NetGalley!💕📚

The journal is perfect for beginners of journaling or people who like to keep it simple. I‘m a great fan of the new, more vibrant colors.

I can’t believe We Are Bookish gives these away free?! So easy to use and well designed. I love the colour palettes used, it’s giving ✨dopamine✨

Downloaded this on my iPad and it’s easy to fill in the pages. Gives me a spot to put in all my thoughts while reading as well. Which always helps, so I can write a review that’s actually helpful to readers. Thank you Netgalley for providing this!!

This journal comes in super handy. It’s perfect for keeping track of you books and arcs. Not only is it digital but you can also print it out.

Thank you for making this!! Submitting my review so it doesn’t count against me. The tabs are super helpful and I love using them to track my reading on my iPad.

Love this reading journal it’s so helpful for all of my planned reads. So easy to use I have uploaded it too Goodnotes with no issues thank you for this

I jus5 got my first tablet, so I've been looking forward to be able to use this journal and all the pretty stickers from netgalley when I'm keeping track of my reading. Love that it seems to be a new colourway every year!

Thank you to NetGalley for giving us readers this amazing reading journal! I love being crafty and I always have amazing ideas of putting a reading journal together in a notebook with all my stationary, but it just never happens.... But I do want and need a place to keep up with my reading, especially since I'm reading more than I ever have as an adult... And because I review, I like to keep notes on what I'm reading and my feelings throughout so I am able to leave a detailed review of my thoughts on a story. The fact that NetGalley gives this to us readers for free is such a blessing, especially with how expensive everything else -- I just can't afford it. And I'm so thankful to be apart of NetGalleys community because I am able to read AMAZING books before they are published, all they want is my opinion! How crazy amazing is that? Anyways, I 100% recommend taking advantage of this amazing tool - to keep up with your arcs and other books you read each year. How fun will it be to look back on the stories that changed us?

I've finally started using this and it is great. This reading journal makes it so easy to stay organized and have a creative digital reading journal.

Such a fun concept for a reading journal, definitely something worth using. I’ll be saving this for when I have an IPad.

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.
