I loved using the NetGalley Reading Journal last year so I'm very excited to see the new version for 2025! Thank you for this!

I have kept a reading journal for several years, and I've dabbled in digital journals for the last couple. This reading journal was great for cataloguing read books visually. I prefer more lists/checklist styles, but I was easily able to insert pages that match my preferred format to the based journal. I also enjoyed the sticker pack that was included. I will definitely get a lot of use out of them! I had hoped this may be slightly different than last year's reading journal, and while I love the updated color scheme, it was the same otherwise. Looking forward to using it and tracking my NetGalley books.

Great resource, I love it! Highly recommended. This will definitely improve reviews and engagement.

I loved using the NetGalley Reading Journal last year to track my reading so I'm very excited to see this new and improved version for 2025.

Earlier this year I bought a new iPad and a pen and now I can use this journal properly! I love it a lot!! It’s so easy to use and so colourful, I can’t wait to start 2025 and to add all the books I read on NetGalley in it. Totally recommend it, especially if you’re an avid reviewer.

This was an interesting concept. I like the options for keeping tabs on books that need to be reviewed, which is always part of the struggle. I liked that adding book covers was encouraged and there were prompts thet would help things organized for end of year wrap ups. Some of my complaints with the 2024 version, still exist for 2025, however. As an Android user, I would have preferred if both editing app options were also Android friendly. Goodnotes looks like an interesting option, but I would not be able to use it. I would have to use Xodo and that's another account to make and deal with. I would be curious to know if there were additional options for Android users; we get a little short changed.

This is an excellent reading journal, especially for someone with a never ending TBR and who is newer to the ARC reviewing community! Thank you Netgalley for the resource!

Nice journal for keeping track of all your reading! Lots of space for tracking all the details of your reading journey throughout the year. The stickers make it even more enjoyable! I definitely recommend the reading journal.

Adore that NetGalley has provided us with this journal! ANNNNDDD it has LINKS! Perfect if you do digital planning. Thank you, We Are Bookish, for this beautiful NetGalley Reading Journal. This year is going to be one for the books!

This is a FANTASTIC journal for us Net Galley users. I really like it and am excited to use it. Now the debate is to only use it digitally or to print it out and bind it...
Thank you to Net Galley and We Are Bookish!

I really like that Netgalley provides tools like this. I look forward to utilizing it.
Having Netgalley provide this template/ tool is helpful as it helps a reviewer such as myself provide useful feedback.

This is definitely an upgrade compared to last year's book journal!
Love the colour scheme, as it features more darker colour and is more comfortable for me to look at.
Personal favourites are the monthly check-ins as well as the challenges at the very end.
Overall a great journal!

A brand new year calls for a fresh digital reading journal, and this one has everything you need to track all things related to your reading journey! It’s vibrant, easy to navigate, and includes instructions on how to personalize it to fit your style. There’s so much included; I can't wait to start using mine! I highly recommend it to everyone.

The NetGalley reading journal, reskinned! The 2024 edition takes the original 2023 version and zhuzhes it up a bit, bringing in some lively colors and (a little inexplicably) an extra four pages of reading journal for April.
The original colorway is more my style, but I can see this "sunset palette" appealing to younger readers in particular. The one change I would have liked to see is updated activities—they're identical to the 2023 "original palette" version, down to the layout of the bingo card, and it would have been nice to see the bingo card reshuffled at least, and perhaps the bookcase reorganized. Then again, this is advertised as exactly what it is (a different palette of the same material), so I can't really fault it for that.
Thanks to NetGalley for providing a copy of this reading journal.

Thank you to NetGalley for this yearly reading journal. It is organized so well, with colored tabs. This will certainly help me to stay organized in my reading journey with NetGalley through the year.

I’ve been looking for a reading journal that matches my needs and most of them have not reached my expectations - but this one does. I’d love to see this in physical form.

I love this so much and can't wait to use it in 2025!
The way it's designed is very easy to use and will make tracking my reading for physical TBR and ARCs much easier!

I’m so excited to use this reading journal! I LOVE how vibrant the colors are; the overall color scheme is making me even more excited to use this. I’m happy the journal includes standard features to track books that we want to read and review while also incorporating fun pages such as the book shelf coloring and the NetGalley bingo. Thank you NetGalley for providing such a wonderful resource!

Super excited! Love this gift! Big thank you :)
I can't wait to use this, and see what comes of it. Love the updated color scheme. It's super bright and fun. Cannot wait to track my reading for 2025! Thank you again to Netgalley for this amazing gift!

Very cute reading journal, good inspiration for what I'll be crafting this year. I've been trying to create my own and this gave me some good ideas for what I'll be using and what I know doesn't work for me.
