Beautiful colour palette and easy to navigate and use in Goodnotes, my favourite note taking app! Thank you to NetGalley for aiding in my ability to take notes and write good reviews of my favourite books with this monthly organizational tool, including general goals, a space to track your approval rating, and even an about the user section! They really think of everything.

Love it, excited to have another year to track my books
This is such a helper when trying to keep track because I don't always remember to put my reviews or ratings on goodreads or fable

Really love the colors in this new version of the reading journal! I wish there was maybe a way to separate Netgalley and other reading goals. But it’s easy enough to combine reading types. The challenges are fun and are great templates to use rather than creating your own but there’s still room for creativity.

kind of wish there were more updated activities but im excited for the Challenges available through Social Medias
excellent for review writing beginners, experienced book worms and netgalley long time members
keep track of your score, books read, monthly and yearly goals and so much more!

This was such a super helpful intro into journaling and how to use NetGalley! I love how this app gives you tips and tricks on how to use it! Thanks again for being helpful as always!

So cute and easy to use! I love all the options for pages and it seemlessly integrated with my favorite notepad app! I had to choose the bright colored option of course

I cannot believe that there was one last year too but I somehow missed it! This is exactly what I was looking for to track my reading throughout the year. There are little bits that I'd change but that's not too hard to do.

Very good useful reading journal. It has lots of pages for different things to include. I will be using this to track my reading throughout the year

Good tracker, easy to use, will give it a try for 2025. Thanks to Netgalley for providing for reviewers to use in 2025, and to We Are Bookish for creating this planner.

Very cute and looking forward to using it this year. Love the colors and the set up. Was looking for a digital tracker this year and this really fits the bill.

Great format to track my reading journey this year. I just need to choose a program to use it with and learn to use it!

Best for reviewers just getting started with NetGalley, or just getting started with reviewing, period. I can't edit it to my satisfaction in the free version of the one software I can access, and I'm not going to go through the trouble of recreating it again in Publisher or Canva.

Ideal reading journal for me:
1) In Canva, or the Google version of Publisher; able to save a local copy and edit at will.
2) able to delete pages, or create duplicate pages. ex: I would read but the delete most of the text and instructions and keep the review summaries; if I kept the pages for all the cover images, I would have to duplicate more pages, or I would not do this part of the journal and delete these pages.
3) Bonus if some fields auto-fill. ex: "start" numbers for a month auto-fill from the "end" numbers from the previous month; totals or percents automatically caluculate based on start and end inputs; monthly goals can be indicated as "every month" and auto-fill to each month's list of check boxes.

Loving the new sunset color palette! I have the thing decked out and ready to roll for the 2025 year. We Are Bookish always does a bang-up job providing information on how to use the journal and showcasing the many ways to customize it from their own people.

The reading journal was really nice. It was super detailed and I have been enjoying using all the resources it has. It’s also super clear and consistent. I’ll definitely be using the reading journal again in the future

It's a fun journal. Thank you for providing this for your readers! I'm not sure what else to write, since this isn't an actual book review. Haha!

I am of an age now in my 50s where i would prefer a physical book. I cant figure out how to use this and find it really confusing. I am older though and i think these things are designed for younger people. I would prefer a physical book to be able to list things.

I dont have acrobat pro and as a result i cant add any text or pictures to it so for me its pointless. For example when i click in the about me section, the entire thing turns blue and i can only add a comment and even then i cant find it after. If i try and add a name nothing happens at all.

Unuseable for me.
