I love this NetGalley Reading Journal so much! I love the tabs, the monthly check-in pages and the fact that there's only four reviews "available" per month so it doesn't feel overwhelming. The Activities tab is also fun! I love the habit tracker and the challenges, especially the NetGalley Bingo! I can't wait to use the Wrap Up tab when the time comes.

I'm not sure how I missed giving feedback on this one! I love the marketing materials and free downloads Netgalley provides throughout the year. This was a really fun campaign and I'm looking forward to seeing what Netgalley comes out with next. :)

I love that netgalley provide this! It is so helpful to have a guide that is already prepared and ready for you to use. Cannot wait! My 2025 has a huge TBR and to have this to help me keep track of my books and what my ratings are is going to be so helpful.

This is such a great tool for readers and reviewers to track their plans and their reads! Sadly, due to the limitations of my tablet, I have not been able to use it to it's full potential yet, but I like it so much that I might just print it out and turn it into a physical journal.

So cool! I don't use it as much as I would like but I love the idea! The set up is awesome and I recommend it to keep track!

I appreciate the gift from NetGalley, but I already use a reading journal that is a little more comprehensive as to the things I want to track with my reading, so I haven't used this one.

These guides provided by NetGalley are so perfect and are something I have saved on my phone and on my computer. (I wonder if I can downloaad on my Kindle too?!). They are so helpful and nice to have to track books, but also gives so much in depth inforamtion on how to write a good book review.

very cute little reading journal- I don't typically keep these kinds of things, but would definitely recommend to anyone who likes to track things like this!

I've used lots (and I mean LOTS) of reading journals as a long-time reader. Some I bought, some I made myself. I'm using 4 right now - one for notes while I read, one for thoughts after I'm finished reading, a media journal (for everything, not just books) and a printed version of this journal to keep track of my reading.

I love the check-in page for each month and the really short form reviewing for each book. At first I struggled to keep to the format and just added extra pages, but now I'm used to writing the main ideas in a mini-review.
I haven't used the habit tracker or the NetGalley Bingo, but I used the yearly wrap-up to really thing about the books that had the biggest impact, the ones that will stick with me and I'm looking forward to doing this every year.

A good little book journal. Definitely worth using, especially for tracking your NetGalley reads! ;)

I downloaded this to evaluate the differences between this reading journal and the newer one We Are Bookish has put out. There are minimal differences, so I believe I’ll be using the newer one. I am very impressed with the quality of book journals that We are Bookish produces though!

This is a good resource for anyone looking to do keep track digitally. Especially with their NetGalley. It isn't for me at this time as I prefer a physical tracker.

Thank you NetGalley for the resource.

Thank you NetGalley for my complimentary copy in return for my honest review.

I an using this on my Kindle Scribe and really enjoy all the details. I use this with a physical reading journal and it is a great way to write down quick notes and plan for future readings. Thanks, Netgalley for supporting your reviewers with great support.

It was nice of Netgalley to give us a resource for tracking books, but I find it hard to fill in and I honestly think I will just use other apps to get statistics.

Neat resource! I just find it challenging to actually fill in without paying for an app that allows me to edit PDFs or images.

Interesting but not for me.
As much as I like to track my reading habits, reading is still just a hobby for me. The Feedback Ratio being the main focus of this journal makes me feel like I'm being evaluated at my work place. "How was my productivity this month?"
I totally get that feedback is the point of this website and I'm sure there are people who appreciate the straight forward score as a metric of their progress. But knowing myself, I know this kind of trackers would just stop me from requesting/starting certain books because I'm not sure I'll be able to finish them this month so they'll lower my ratio.

A digital reading journal that tries to maintain the feel of the old paper journals. I love the clean visuals and the earthy colors in this edition. With tabs for each month and a monthly check-in page, it's easy to keep your reading organized. Set up is a little bit clunky as is its use, but definitely download the book journal user’s guide to help with that.

It’s a good way to stay organized with your books and I like using it. It’s such an easy way to use it and it’s valuable at all times for you. I like the format of it and it’s very easy to follow along

A useful reading journal that I appreciated being given for free. Not sure there's much more to say than that!
