I think reading journals are useful. I like tracking my books as I read and it's a great way to include notes to remember what main points I liked about a book I have read.

What a fantastic tool to track my reading! I especially love the shelf template that allows you to easily see 12 books at a glance and the check in prompts each month. Thanks, Netgalley!

This Reading Journal is a great way to get my students interested in keeping track of their reading. I would love to see a section for reading minutes per week, so they can keep track that way as well.

I really enjoyed this as a guide on structuring my own book journal for review purposes. I can see how a printed version of this would be a hit as well

I loved this book review template log for the year. It makes things so much easier. I love that I can edit it as need be and it makes it simple.

I would love a printed copy of this journal, but I think it's a cute idea to keep track of what you read on Netgalley specifically.

I love the idea of this reading journal, but I wasn't really able to use it. I didn't discover this until after I downloaded it. The Xodo app wasn't available for my phone (Pixel 9), so I tried Lumin, but it was too clunky on my phone. I can use Lumin on my desktop, which is nice, but not overly convenient for my reading habits.

Overall, I was disappointed and wish this was easier to use. Great idea, though!

Doesn't work as well as I'd hoped. Difficult to update & requires external resources. Love the concept, but it needs to be far more interactive to work electronically.

The journal is well-structured, with sections dedicated to tracking the details of each book you've read, such as title, author, genre, and the rating you’d give it. Each entry also includes space for your personal reflections, helping readers capture their emotional responses, thoughts, and takeaways from each book. Whether you're an avid reviewer or someone simply interested in documenting your reading experiences, the journal provides a space for both organization and creativity.

Unfortunately I had real trouble trying to use this on my phone but that is definitely more user error than the journals!

Helpful. Don't think there's much else I can say, really. Worth a glance if you're starting out on NetGalley I guess.

What a handy reading journal. So easy to use. Makes a great companion to my online reading trackers. A lot of thought has gone into making this user friendly for readers and it shows.

Super helpful to keep track of all that I’ve read. I loved using it and allowed me to reflect on everything I had read at the end of the year

Thanks, this is a very thorough way to track reading. It has a few things I didn't think of to record. I'm not sure how to record my reading in the online version as of yet.
