A great journal for keeping track of books read. I love that I can just make it my own and it has come in handy when reading on the go and wanting to jot down some notes.

Great guide, a useful tool for any reader and specifically ARC readers! Will be using it, thank you!

This was definitely not for me. I track my reading on multiple apps and read everything on a Kindle. I'm actually a little surprised that NetGalley, which specializes in epubs and audiobooks would release something to track reading on paper. <shrug>

Nice reading journal just hard to use as an ebook, would recommend some kind of editable version in the future vs having to print out.

I enjoy using this journal. It helps me keep track of my readings from NetGalley and it made me realize I am missing some books that I do not have a copy of. I really like that it is digital and I enjoy adding the little pictures of the book. It is a very nice journal. Thank you.

This is a great resource provided to us for free by NetGalley! I like the colors and the directions are really helpful. Thank you so much!

Thank you NetGalley for the Reading Journal, I am sure it is very useful to many members! However, I personally do not see myself using it, but I appreciate it. It seems very tedious for being that you are mostly filling in information that you can already find on the website. Almost like double work to log it all into this journal as well.

I didn't find this to be something that would be helpful, as such I don't use it. It must seem helpful to someone based on other reviews, but it seems pretty tedious and pointless to me.

Good organization book for those doing challenges. Also for reviewing as well. Very well organized. Can be used for any time frame and keeps the reader focused.

Love this reading journal! Being able to fill it out is like a little reward every time I finish a book! Excited to look back on all my reads at the end of the year!

I don’t really use it, but I am reviewing to help with my feedback ratio! I use my own reading journal, but I do highly recommend the NetGalley app for reading the ARCs when you get them!

This has been so helpful, I appreciate recieving this! I loved printing this out to fill out by hand, it has all sorts of neat little areas such as an about me, yearly goals, books I wanted/on my shelf. It would be a massive hit for people who want to track or make it look pretty. It has a section for each month along with a check-in so you can see at a glance what your ratio is!

It was great that NetGalley created this resource for us! I really loved some of the suggestions/prompts.

This is a cool take on a digital reading journal. I personally don't have an interest in using journals, logging books on Goodreads is about as much time as I want to put into those things. However, this is a cool idea for people who are interested in that.

Great reading journal, easy to use! I really enjoyed the color palette and it helped me track all the books I read!

5/5 star rating; Such a cute reading journal, thank you 💗 Very informative and pretty I can't wait to use.

This is super cute and aesthetic I’ll definitely be using it to track my NetGallery reads as well as the format is a good idea for instagram!

5/5

As someone who’s constantly creating new digital notebooks for some or other purpose (I have to use my IPad for something right) I really suck at making functional layouts. This reading journal does all the work for me, and allows me to keep up with not being only my spiralling Netgally TBR, but also my spiralling physical TBR!

Great resource. Very useful and full of inspiration.
Really enjoyed using it would definitely use again.
