Such a great book to track what I have read and what/if I rated it!
And it's free?
Yes please...
I like that I can actually customize it and add the covers to it

This is a really cute concept that will work great for a lot of readers hoping to organize their reading habits and keep track of what they have read. I have ADHD and autism, and unless I get really focused on this, it isn't going to work for me. It will sit in my computer or on a shelf somewhere collecting dust with the other planners and journals I've gotten to try to make my life better/easier.

But I really like the design and WANT to use it. It looks amazing. I downloaded and printed it and had every intention of using it. If you're one of the amazing people who CAN use a planner/journal, this is amazing for you and you should absolutely get this! If you're like me, then you should not. But chances are you won't listen to me, because you are going to think that this awesome planner - that lets you put all the books you're reading and listening to, as well as monthly stats, and other cool book reading information all in one place - will change your life. And, hey, maybe this time it will.

I actually really like this tracker for someone who does alot of digital creating unfortunately I don't think I will get much use out of it. If I had a tablet and did a little more digital editing I think this would be great. I don't have the skills or tools to edit the file and use it the way it was intended. There is an accompanying user guide you need to read to understand how to use the journal, but

I do like the set up, and if I ever moved to a digital platform like this I think this would be a great way to track my reading. I don't see myself giving up my current set up though.

What a cool treat and FREE!!! My TBR list has grown with NetGalley, so I needed a better way to keep track of my requested books and reviews. I love having everything in one place and so organized!

Thank you NetGalley for the fun gift

Loved this digital book reading journal! Can’t wait to use in GoodNotes and play around with it! It’s so awesome that it’s free. I’ve seen others like this on Etsy for purchase! Thanks so much!

A fun addition to the book lover's planner for the coming year. I wasn't a huge fan of the colors or illustration style but I liked the ideas.

Great idea and very appreciative of the gift that was given, but I found it a little too hard to use personally.

This is hands-down the most comprehensive, informative, and fun reading journal I’ve ever seen! Each month has a “check-in” page, and the Book Review pages give you plenty of space to note your thoughts. The journal includes an Activities section, complete with a habit tracker, an A-Z title challenge, prompt bingo, color-in trackers – super fun games to play with yourself throughout the year.

There are clickable tabs at the top and side of the pages that send you to the different sections, and clickable links throughout the journal.

You can tell that a lot of time and care went into making sure there were easy-to-follow instructions for every aspect of the journal. Every section is well thought out and thoroughly explained. And did I mention that they included stickers? Who doesn’t love stickers?!?!

The Welcome page mentions that they recognize their readers’ passion for books, but it’s apparent that the team at NetGalley shares the same passion as we do.

Love all of the different sections and super easy to use and navigate. I like that the star rating stickers fit perfectly on top of the rating areas.

This is super fun and I can’t wait to fill it in throughout the year! I love all the challenges, pages, and stickers. The design is really cute and it’s easy to use once you understand it.

I liked the thought of this reading journal. There were many great things about it and a couple big flaws for me or maybe wishes would be more accurate.

Likes:
- I liked that it had a spot for favorite quotes on each review page. I always highlight quotes as I read and It would be fun to have a spot to record them all together.
- I liked rating the books read each month and then using that to figure out favorite books for the year.
- I liked all of the things in the activities tab. I loved how the habit tracker was set up.
- The journal is pretty easy to navigate with the tabs.

Cons:
- I was unable to upload or copy stickers into the journal.
= I think typing in a pdf file is a little cumbersome as it takes a couple extra steps.

Wishes to make this a 10/10:
I would love it if this became a regular feature on my netgalley page. It would be AMAZING if it would autopopulate pictures of book covers, book info, etc., of all the books read/reviewed on netgalley. I would love it if I could just click on that tab and then type in quotes. Add stickers and comments, etc.

Remarkably practical and utterly charming! Boasting user-friendliness and a superbly crafted layout, it effortlessly combines functionality with an irresistibly cute appeal, making it a delightful and efficient experience.

A great idea but not so straightforward to use, I felt! I don't think I will use it for very long, preferring to use my pen and paper. Time will say!
However thank you very much for this opportunity.
