NetGalley's Reading Journal is a useful tool for anyone who enjoys reading ARCs and wants to contribute to the publishing industry. It's well-designed, easy to use, and provides a valuable service to both readers and publishers. If you're an avid reader and a member of NetGalley, it's definitely worth checking out. I liked the idea of this but I have not really used it. I have other journals that I have created over the years and this did not add anything too different. I think for someone who is new and hasn't been at this type of thing for as long as I have would really like it.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! No spoilers. Beyond amazing I enjoyed this book so very much. The characters and storyline were fantastic. The ending I did not see coming Could not put down nor did I want to. Truly Amazing and appreciated the whole story. This is going to be a must read for many many readers. Maybe even a book club pick.

Many thanks for the reading journal. It was really nice for NetGalley to give their members a digital journal.

This journal is amazing! Especially since it is free! Unfortunately, I really never got a chance to use it. I had a baby, and have not had much time to keep track of my reading ever since. Hopefully very soon I will actually get to use this journal!

This is a helpful book for ARC readers. I like the tips that were mentioned, and I liked how there was a space for journaling about books.

This was great! I really enjoyed all of the monthly check-ins and the little reading challenges. This has really helped me up my reading and retention.

Very helpful journal! The Net Galley Reading Journal includes far many more options and features than I use. But it's great to have the options. The user guide is also a very useful tool.

The NetGalley Reading Journal has potential to help me organise my reading activities. I appreciate the journal's user-friendly layout and the various sections for tracking different reading goals. Being able to personalise the journal is a definite plus and the option to print specific pages for use in a physical journal is a thoughtful touch. I especially liked the sticky tabs for easy navigation between sections. Although I haven't fully integrated the journal into my reading routine yet, I can see its potential for enhancing my reading experience. The journal offers a comprehensive and engaging way to track reading progress, set goals, and reflect on books.

I haven't started using the reading journal yet, but I've spent some time looking through and considering how I might use it throughout the year to track my reading. I don't tend to do anything in-depth - usually just tracking digitally through Goodreads, but I do like how the journal is set up and some of the possibilities it offers. It may be something that I explore using in the future.

The reading journal is an interesting concept, but since I use Goodreads to track everything from reading to the books on my shelves, it was redundant. I know it is something others would enjoy though.

This is a beautiful way to track your reading digitally. I usually use a bullet journal, but I haven't had time to work in it at all this year so I've been using this recently and it's been wonderful. I love all of the different pages and challenges to track!

I liked aspects of this journal. However, I have a paper book journal that I love. One thing I would love to see more of in this journal are lines when writing. I prefer lines. I also don't love the colors on this one.

A detailed, digital reading journal option with templates and activities to help readers track their reading while making it fun. The sticky tabs that navigate you to different sections is a nice touch.

Very neat! I love how organized this Reading Journal is. I can keep track of the ARCs I read and my reviews each month.

This is a cute journal to keep track of books you read. You can also leave your review of each book and upload stickers to include. I liked the color scheme of the journal. However, I am not a person who journals, so I can't see myself actually using this. It's all I can do to remember to leave a review on Goodreads of the books I read. I don't think I would be able to keep track of another place. I didn't like that you had to search for instructions for where to find the stickers and other information about the book. That should have been included in the original download. I'm giving this a middle rating because I can see the appeal for some people. It just isn't for me.

I love this idea but couldn't figure out how to incorporate these pages into my existing reading journal.
