A very nice journal that helps you track everything you have read in the platform and outside of it. The colors are very nice and it’s divided in such a way that it makes it easier to understand

This is SO cute! I wish I were Type A enough to utilize it...but I'll print out and bind it just in case I get the urge to be organized 😁

This is great! I prefer this Reading Journal over the last edition. Definitely think there could be a calendar aspect and perhaps stickers or checkboxes for library, audible, NetGalley, etc and some that are for shared on NetGalley, IG, FB, Blog, YouTube, Litsy, Storygraph, Goodreads etc.

Very cool concept. I feel like this was made by actual readers. The e version is handy in that you can click the tabs to jump to different portions of the journal. Ultimately, I printed it and bound it and it works great for me that way. Definitely making it simpler to track my books/reviews.

I am a sucker for a reading journal so immediately had to check this out.

Things I loved:
- The design elements. The colours, the graphics - all stunning. Especially those cover pages
- The addition of a place to track NetGalley reviews and ratios!
- The Habit tracker!
- The Bingo idea

Things I didn't love:
- The text was often quite small and hard to read. Not super accessible.
- I would add start dates on the reviews pages
- The bingo layout itself was kind of boring
- best of the year is quite hard to fill in

This is the best way to keep track of my reads. It isn't too late in the year to start using a journal. Thank you so much.

Looks interesting. I’m exploring how to integrate it in to my reading flow. I generally just use a blank page and notes I write in the text. But I do like a form to keep track of what I’m reading.

This looks like it would be helpful for keeping track of my reading and reviewing. I like the calendar set up, it should make things easy to navigate.

This is a fantastic journal, very fun for just starting on NetGalley. It's informative and customizable—there are even stickers! If I had one complaint, it would be that there is SO much, it's overwhelming. Coming in mid-year, I think I'm just going to wait till next year to start fresh. However, this will be a fun way to track reading goals.

Perfect reading journal to highlight my reading progress. It comes with many columns to track the arcs and books from NetGalley.

Agony Hill was the first in this new series from Sarah Stewart Taylor. Agony Hill was really good, and I wanted to find out what happened to Warren, Sylvie, and Alice.

Turns out there was another death in Bethany, Vermont. This time at a private hunting and fishing lodge just out of town. It was assumed that the death was an accident. After all, so many hunters in the woods, a stray shot might have gotten him. But there were other things that made it a bit suspicious. The victim was a recently retired ambassador. Not retired of his own accord, but forced out.

Warren and Pinky are on the case. They get the body to the coroner and begin questioning the group that is on property. It seems that many of the members might have good cause to have shot the man. Alibis abound and suspicions arise. Which one of these men could have wanted him dead? Or was it simply a stray bullet that got him?

Everyone is present in this follow up. Sylvie is still pregnant with her late husband’s baby. Alice is hosting a dinner party for friends, Warren included. Pinky has matured a bit since the last investigation, and definitely appears to be Warren’s right hand man now.

It’s a great group of characters that will be fun to follow through the series. So much intrigue where Alice is concerned. Will Warren & Sylvie become more than acquaintances? I can’t wait to see what comes next.

I like this little slice of Vermont. While I wouldn’t call these ‘cozy’ mysteries, the town of Bethany is fairly cozy. I hope that we’ll get to see more of Jenny and the others in the next installment.

Enjoyable read.

This journal is a great starting point for someone starting their digital journaling process. It is simple enough to understand but also offers ways to customize.

I joined NetGalley earlier this year (2025) and have been interested in starting a book journal ever since. I haven't been using the NetGalley Reading Journal for very long, but so far, I enjoy it! I think that it being sectioned into months made it difficult to use consistently for me, but that is because I didn't download it until halfway through the year. I could backfill what I read already this year into each month, but that doesn't seem as fun to me. I plan to use this version as a practice for next year's Reading Journal. I eagerly await the 2026 version of this because I think starting it with the new year will be amazing!

I love Journalling and this has really got my creative juices flowing with improving my reading goals, recording reviews and looking back at my reading history. I’m a nerd when it comes to this stuff, so I can’t wait to get started.

The NetGalley Reading Journal is such a great find for anyone who loves reading or reviews books, especially if you use NetGalley often. It’s a digital journal designed to help you keep everything organized, from tracking the books you’ve read to planning what’s up next on your list. It helps you stay focused on your reading goals without feeling overwhelming. Plus, the activities and challenges included in it make the whole experience feel more like a fun game than a chore. If you're someone who loves tracking progress, organizing your thoughts, or just adding a little extra flair to your reading routine, this journal is totally worth checking out.

Very complete journal that will surely help me stay on track with my reading goal. The activities and challenges will be fun to fill.

The NetGalley Reading Journal is a fantastic digital tool for any avid reader or book reviewer, especially those using NetGalley regularly. It's thoughtfully designed with the needs of readers in mind and serves as a helpful hub for organizing reading life.

The journal impresses with its clean layout and functionality. Monthly planning pages help you keep track of your reading goals, TBRs, and feedback ratio (which an essential for staying in good standing with NetGalley). There are dedicated spaces for individual book reviews, which makes it easy to reflect and refer back later.

I LOVE all the extras: themed challenges, bookish bingo, habit trackers, and end of year reflection pages that make tracking your reading both practical and fun. It encourages consistency while also leaving room for personal flair and creativity.

I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to stay organized, meet their NetGalley goals, and enjoy the process of documenting their bookish journey.

Thank you NetGalley for this fabulous tool!

This is a nice reading journal that I have printed and look forward to using. It is a good length and well designed to look nice and be usable.

As always Netgalley brings out the best tools. Beautiful and useful and set out keeping in mind actual readers and how they will use it.
