This such an awesome tool to keep track of your reads! Not only galleys but all your reads, especially for us doing digital journals.

I loved this book journal. Although I've had many reading/book journals in the past, none have been quite so comprehensive as this one. I like the flexibility it offers. Thank you, NetGalley!

I really enjoyed this guide and I even used some of the templates to come up with spread pages in my reading journal. It was a nice guide to reference back to when creating my own journal. Thank you for creating this.

Customizable, yearly goals, and best of the year bracket. This is suck a great way to track everything important that you read

Cute

I have been familiarizing myself with the NetGalley Reading Journal for the past few weeks. I use several methods to track my reading: a bullet journal, Goodreads, a large sketchbook that I journal in and paste in thumbnail images of the book covers, and notes in several books of the "everything you need to read before you die" variety. But except for Goodreads, none of it is electronic.

The NetGalley journal can be downloaded or saved in an app like Goodnotes. Users can create a copy for each year and fill it in as they go. There are tabs for each month. The cover page for each month has places to list stats such as your NetGalley feedback ratio, goals, number of books read, and number of books on your NetGalley shelf. The remaining pages offer a place to store all the information on a book, even your review and favorite quotes.

Other tabs include shelf, stickers, and activities. The shelf tab allows you to add a cover image of a book, the title, author, and illustrator, and there is a sticker download available from NetGalley to add your star rating. The stickers tab provides a place to upload and store stickers for easy access. And the activities tab even gives you pages to track reading challenges such as A-Z and categories, or play NetGalley Bingo.

For those who like to keep everything neat, tidy, and filed away - this could be the reading journal you have been waiting for. Even if you are accustomed to using a pen and paper journal it won't hurt to give this one a try and see if it suits you better. And there is no danger of leaving this journal behind and losing it, a definite plus.

This reading journal has upped my reading game with clear layouts you can make your own reading journal that matches your personality.
The monthly check ins are brilliant and I’ve already started using the journal to document my reading journey. I also love the quotes on the monthly check ins
“No such thing as too many books”
“A book a day keeps reality away” and my absolute favourite
“May your shelves always have room for more” oh my dear reader, this one really resonates with me because I really do hope your shelves have the room for one more good book.

I wasn’t expecting the journal to be so detailed! I thought it would be 10 or so pages so I was really impressed with the size of it. It’s given me a lot to think about in terms of how I track what books I’ve read and how I can be more creative in journaling about them. I’m definitely going to be using the book journal to help me keep track of what k read ad it’s a lot more visual than others I’ve looked at and I’m someone who prefers visual resources.

Love when NetGalley offers stuff like this! Very cute, and appreciated. (Also this is making me do 100 characters, so apologies for this random sentence lol)

A great way to track your reading. The ability to customise is an absolute boon and I especially love the clickable tabs and its simplicity and versatility.

Great Reading Journal! It's perfect to keep track of all the books read and to be read. It even has a place to place stickers and notes

An excellent tool to keep track of books read and reviewed during the year!

I'm struggling a bit to edit the PDF on my phone, so having something like this in an app would be great.

3.5⭐️
Thank you for this free gift. It is easy to use and super useful and convenient. It makes keeping track of the year’s reading journey.

I really enjoyed looking through this reading journal! Thanks NetGalley for the little details. It’s helpful to track your reading progress and compile all of your read into one place. I look forward to seeing more tools like this in the future.

Adorable! NetGalley’s Reading Journal is comprehensive and customizable. I was delightfully surprised at the variety of templates included in this journal. I think I was expecting a more bare bones document, but this Reading Journal is actually incredibly practical and I will definitely be using it this year!

Some of my favorite templates include:
Yearly Goals. I loved that this template also included a place to track your NetGalley feedback ratio as well as the more typical “how many books I want to read this year” and general goals.

Monthly Check-In. I appreciated the unique twist on this template, which included a space to add book covers for your “Most Anticipated”, “Favorite Read” etc. It also separates the number of books read by medium (audiobook, e-book etc.), which as a diverse medium reader I appreciate!

Best of the Year bracket. This page was probably the most fun surprise. It is definitely outside of the scope of “typical” book/reading review pages, but is such a fun extra!

If there’s one thing I might like to see added, it would be to be able to easily edit the color scheme of the document or to have color scheme options.

Overall, I highly recommend NetGalley’s Reading Journal as an excellent way to digitally track your reading, inspire social media posts and also organize your reviews for NetGalley.

Thank you for the NetGalley Reading Journal! The journal is aesthetically pleasing, easy to navigate, and allows me to digitally track my reading. I like how I can personalize it and use the features that work the best for me.

Thanks, Netgalley! I love tracking my reading but I read a lot so I need endless options - this was perfect.

Good tool for the avid reader. It was easy to use and understand. I was impressed with how the book worked so well.

Great idea to help me keep track of my reading. Easy to use. I've never kept a journal before but will definitely be using this.

This reading journal is a delight! Easy to navigate, easy to customize, and pretty similar to my physical reading journal. I’m excited to fill it up once my physical journal can’t hold any more.
