The journal is well put together and a fun way to keep track of reading. I liked that the journal will be useful and save me time in creating these pages for myself. Thank you to the NetGalley staff for putting this together and making it available to all reviewers!

Thank you NetGalley for the journal! It's very thorough, and I am hoping it can help me get back into the habit of journaling!

This was an incredibly nice gift from Netgalley. It has a very detailed layout making it easy to keep you organized. It is easy to use and navigate. Thank you Netgalley for this thoughtful and practical gift.

I really liked this. Hopefully it helps me with doing more book journaling! I love that it has activities and brackets to track the best reads of the year.

I enjoyed the layout of the journal, but ultimately, I found it too time consuming to actually use. It was tedious to input a photo of the book cover, etc. The concept was cool, but unfortunately, the execution lacked for me.

This journal is so cute and helpful! I love the tabs and how it’s broken by different sections (home, shelf, stickers, activities etc). And when you get into the weeds of it all, it has a section for you to add your book details - star ratings, title, author and date.

Love it!

This is a great way to keep track of all things bookish. Reviews, goals for each months, most anticipated reads, etc. It was very well thought out and prepared and can be used for years thanks to the customization. Perfect for anyone who loves reading.

This is such a gorgeous digital reading journal! I’m really enjoying making use of this. Would definitely recommend!

I’m not much of a digital person when it comes to journaling but I’ll be honest that it took literally three minutes to figure this entire journal out and to start using it. I love it! I can’t wait to actually use it throughout the year.

A good reading journal in theory, however for me I ended up preferring the apps out there for the same thing. If you want a journal specifically though this is a good one

What an awesome reading journal! I love that it has enough structure to provide a template for reflection but still enough room to be creative and add your own flair. Thanks for a great tool!

This is genuinely such an aesthetic way for me to keep track of my NetGalley reads on my iPad! On days where I'm in a reading slump, I open this up and I'm automatically motivated to fill it out by reading. Thank you for this resource!

It's beautiful! The design is simple, but also functional. I like all the color choices, they go together well. Overall, practical and cute and I'm excited to use it!

This is a beautiful looking journal for keeping track of your reading, but I found the PDF format a bit difficult to use. I probably need to devote more time to figuring that out, but I've put it aside for now, and will get back to learning it later. It IS very nicely designed, though.

I unfortunately ended up not using this at all, it is a bit too complex for my liking and I felt a bit overwhelmed when I downloaded it and attempted to start filling it.
I am aware it does have great potential, the links and shortcuts are functional and are a life saver when you wanna be able to quickly navigate the diary and not lose time into finding what you are looking for manually. The format is also good and the process of loading it into goodnotes (my preferred app for journaling) was easy and straightforward.
But again, it didn’t fit what I am used into a book journal and ended up going back to my smaller, simpler, one.
I hope to give it ago again in the future when I feel braver!

This is a great journal. I think the layouts are great. The only layouts I wish were done differently or that I just wont use are the book of the year tracker and the habit tracker. For the book of the year bracket, I would've liked the brackets to go left to right across the page, instead of right to left. Otherwise that would be great to use. As for the habit tracker, I just don't see myself using it. Other than that I love all the other layouts.
