I can certainly see how this would be helpful for folks who are motivated by a cute planner and are also digital note takers, though I'm not sure how much crossover there is between those two groups. I find that any notes software—I'm a OneNote user, myself—is a better tool than this, so I'm not the targeted user here, but if I was somebody who used this kind of pre-made guide/notebook, this is one I would probably make heavy use of.

What a fantastic journal! This includes everything needed to keep a paper tracking of books read during and challenges completed during the year. While it’s not digital it is easy enough to print out the pages needed and put into a binder. Perfect for those who prefer paper logging! Thank you to NetGalley and We Are Bookish for an advanced copy of this.

Not a fan. There's far too much included to keep track of. If I wanted to print it'd cost a fortune in ink and paper that I just can't afford. I'd rather just use a notebook to keep track of the info that's important to me, or just keep track of books on storygraph or Goodreads.

I really want to like this. It seemed like a great idea. But it was actually complicated to fill in. For starters I had to get it printed so I could write in it, but with Goodreads and other review sites digital it just ended up being time consuming and a struggle. Again I loved the idea but this didn’t work for me.

Very handy with lots of potential to help readers keep track monthly and yearly! I love the pages where you can add the book cover and write your reviews! Always love sticking the covers on my reviews.

This is basically an advertisement for tablet only software which must be purchased and is fairly expensive.

I've never used a book journal before but I've always wanted to start one, so I was excited to find this one from Netgalley! Initially upon opening, unfortunately I was a bit overwhelmed. I ended up saving a copy of each of the main pages, and I uploaded them to Canva to create a simple/less intimidating journal, using only the pages I would be more likely to use. I like the color pallet and the layouts of this journal, and I enjoy having the ability to use the journal digitally because I can add some more elements/designs/stickers, and make it personalized. I'm looking forward to starting this journal for my Netgalley books/reviews!

I have enjoyed using the NetGalley Reading Journal. As someone who is new to keeping a reading journal, the formatting was very helpful in getting started. Love the digital format and the flexibility and customization options in provides.

I did not find this helpful at all. As a matter of fact, a simple doc on my computer seemed as capable.

Super cute reading journal. Great organizational tool to track books. Each month you can track the books you read and record your ratings. Great for folks who are trying to up their reading. Dopamine hits every time you add a new book!

Really fun and useful! It wasn't as easy to use and understand in the beginning, but once I understood how to actually work with it and decorate it, it was really fun and useful!

I have never used a book journal before, and I was looking for something that would help me write down my thoughts as a I go along for my book reviews. I was super excited to find out that there was a digital book journal and that it was on NetGalley. I was a little disappointed that I had to download another app to use use this journal, but having the user guide that you can download separately was helpful.

This is a great example of a reading journal. It has been really well set out, with plenty of room for recording reads.

This looks like it would be a really cool tool for someone who could use it, especially as a hard copy. Unfortunately I opened it and got immediately overwhelmed. I won’t be using us but I think it’s delightful that it exists and it looks beautifully formatted

This is a fun way to keep track of your books. It has in depth ways for you to keep track of specific things for each of the books you read. You can keep ratings, reviews, etc. it also breaks it down but month.

This journal has all the things someone would need to track your books read/listened to and it’s not over complicated. Some journals have questions that aren’t something people want to write in a journal. Keep it simple is the best way to go.
