I loved having a virtual reading log I can use and fill out on my IPad after reading! I have been wanting to start one, but could not find the time to be creative and make the pages, so this was so helpful and allows me to track my thoughts while and after reading!

This is the reading journal I didn’t know i needed. Very user friendly and customizable. Even has stickers, which is something I use in paper journals and planners. I love it.

I like the look of this journal. It appears to include monthly tabs, reflection prompts, the organization is easy to understand and use. This will be very handy tracking reading habits all year long.

I'm not someone who wants to creat my own reading journal so this is perfect for my uses! It feels fun but not too overwhelming. A great way to track with ease :) thanks for the gift, Netgalley! Excited to put it to use!

This is a great idea but seems confusing to try and navigate how to edit it. I downloaded into my Google drive and will have to tinker with it to see if I can use it.

Another way to keep track of books you want to read and those you have read. It is organized nicely and seems easy to use. For me personally, using Goodreads accomplishes these same goals . I’m not sure that I would use this journal but instead would just prefer to use Goodreads. It’s nicely done and many people have rated it highly. I am probably in the minority here 🙂.

What a brilliant journal! Well set out, love the sections and colours used , easy on the eye!

The activities are varied and well thought out. A reading journal by a reader has what you need! Trackers, pages for notes, trackers, stickers and reviews. I love how much space there is for each bits, the tbr shelves are good also!

This is such a cool way to track. It works with your netgalley to make sure you aren't missing anything. I liked that I can just download and print/use in PDF on my computer.

The NetGalley Reading Journal by We Are Bookish is a handy tool for avid readers and book bloggers who want to keep track of their reading progress and thoughts on the books they read. The journal provides ample space for recording book titles, authors, publication dates, genres, and page counts, making it easy to organize and reference your reading history. Additionally, the journal includes sections for recording your ratings, reviews, favorite quotes, and book recommendations, allowing readers to reflect on their reading experiences in a meaningful way.
While the NetGalley Reading Journal offers some great features for book lovers, I found the design to be a bit plain and lacking in visual appeal. The journal is primarily black and white with minimal illustrations, which may not appeal to readers looking for a more aesthetically pleasing layout. Additionally, the journal's pages are thin and prone to tearing, especially if using pen or markers with heavy ink. Overall, while the journal is functional, it could benefit from some design improvements to enhance the user experience.
In conclusion, the NetGalley Reading Journal by We Are Bookish is a useful tool for tracking and reflecting on your reading journey. With ample space for recording book details and personal thoughts, readers can easily keep track of their reading progress and preferences. While the design could use some improvements in terms of aesthetic appeal and durability, the journal serves its purpose well and is a valuable asset for book enthusiasts looking to keep a detailed record of their reading experiences.

This free, digital reading journal is far better than ones I've paid for. The organization makes sense, there's just enough room to draft a bite-size review, and it's specifically designed to help keep track of galleys. The earth tone colors are warm and soothing. And I love having a designated spot for the publish date to remind myself of the "deadline."

Love the look and feel of this journal! Such a wonderful free gift that I am excited to incorporate into my tracking.
