An extremely useful e-reading journal that makes tracking your reading so easy! The different formats, the monthly wrap ups, the bookworm quotes, the reading challenge suggestions all added to this so much. There is something truly so precious about netgalley a website filled with books that gives authors a chance to promote their books creating such a useful and accessible reading journal to add to the reading journey of its readers <3

I like this NetGalley Reading Journal overall. I do wish that it wasn't so focused only on books read through NetGalley. I read a lot of physical books, just because I prefer reading that way. I probably won't be using the journal because of that, but I do think it is a great concept.

I’ve found this reading journal to be an excellent resource in support my reading life. I like using it to track my reading but to also plan my tbr and think ahead for future projects. A big thanks to NetGalley for creating it!

It's a really pretty and interesting journal template. It's my first time using an online one and I'm excited to use it fully.

Super beneficial way to tack your reading process, and organize thoughts! Probably easier to use on an iPad vs a kindle but still a very cool Idea/approach

I like this journal. The setup is wonderful! I do wish that it was easier to use- whether to edit on my own or to preferably download and print. I am old school and love a paper book journal. I refer to them to see what I read and when, what my thoughts were, a synopsis that I wrote and characters that were in that particular book. Looking forward to see what changes NetGalley makes to next year's!

Interesting take a a book journal. It's the first one that I've seen that gets straight to the point.

This is a fun reading journal. There are loads of pages for you to take note of the books on your To-Be-Read list, along with space for the date you read it and a spot to keep track of whether or not you reviewed it. It also has a section with fun activities such as NetGalley bingo, which incentivizes you to do things like write a review on the oldest book in your shelf. You can also download stickers to decorate your journal as well as add the book cover images. At the end of the journal, there’s a wrap up section for you to take note of your favorite books of the year and reflections on your reading journey. Reading journey was my favorite part because I had not thought of these things in a while. It brought back good memories for me. In the end, there are plenty of extra pages for notes .
By the way, I used the idea of bingo with my pre-teen niece and just customized it for her with little rewards, such as a pen, stickers, new bookmark etc for each task completed and a trip to the bookstore when she won bingo! It was a great success!

A really useful reading journal with options for being super detailed or giving a monthly overview and can all be done on your phone or tablet. Thank you NetGalley.

I have never used a digital reading journal before, and this one is beautiful! I love the colors and the layout. I think I will find the NetGalley-specific pages the most helpful because my current reading journal doesn't cater to ARCs. I like the spots to make goals for feedback ratio and books on your NetGalley shelf. I also really like the pages where you can keep track of the books on your shelf (and you can duplicate these pages if you have lots of books!). It is really nice to have the flexibility of adding pages as needed to customize it for the size of your library.

As someone who loves to read and track my reading, I was so happy when Netgalley gave this Reading Journal out as a surprise gift last year! I use it for tracking my NetGalley ARCs and reviews, which I like because I can kind of keep the ARCs I read separate from the other books I read. I like all of the features: the main page where you can see all your books at once with ratings and covers, the monthly pages with separate pages for individual book reviews, and also the little activity area where you can make your own A-Z cover challenge and favorite books bracket! Overall, I have very much enjoyed using this little reading journal and thank you NetGalley for providing it!

A visually pleasing way to keep track of your Net Galley books. It's great. Could use some more options, but it's very useful.

I'm really excited to get started with this reading journal! I'm only sorry I didn't start it sooner. I love the color scheme and layout...it looks very user-friendly with lots of perks and extras. I really appreciate different ways to keep track of what I read as well as anticipating what's on the horizon in my TBR stack. Placing reviews in the journal, as well as utilizing the stickers and various activities/challenges will keep any book lover busy all year.

I really like the design, and I will continue to use it. Currently, I'm using a physical book journal, but I like the idea of a pre-designed virtual one because I don't have much time these days to work on my physical book journal.

I recently just learned about the NetGalley Reading Journal (there is also a User Guide). I have never done digital journaling but this journal is awesome! It is categorized by month and has places for books, reviews, photos, your review and quotes from each book you read. I am looking forward to using this. Thank you!

Both the guide and journal are free and available here on NetGalley.

I enjoy this little reading journal. Really nice as a starting point to track your reading. I think I prefer the reading journal and system I currently use, but I think having this avaliable is really neat!
