I really enjoy using this reading journal to track my reading. It is a wonderful tool and I appreciate NetGalley for making this readily available for us.
The story centers around three teenage girls, Kiara, Priscilla, and Nevaeh, who are all deeply hurt when their popular classmate, Tommy, is exposed as a cheater. Seeking revenge, they wish him out of their lives. However, their wish takes a sinister turn when Tommy is found dead. As the girls become suspects, they must navigate the complexities of their own friendships and the secrets they've been hiding while trying to uncover the truth.
What I Loved:
Relatable Characters: The three protagonists are well-developed and easy to sympathize with. Their struggles with betrayal, friendship, and self-discovery are universal.
Gripping Plot: Agyemang masterfully weaves a suspenseful narrative that keeps readers guessing until the very end. The twists and turns are unexpected and satisfying.
Social Commentary: The novel offers a thought-provoking exploration of the impact of social media on young people and the dangers of online anonymity.
Strong Female Friendship: The bond between Kiara, Priscilla, and Nevaeh is heartwarming and provides a much-needed sense of support in the face of adversity.
Overall, Heart-Shaped Lies is a thrilling and engaging read that will keep you hooked from beginning to end. Fans of YA mysteries and social commentary will appreciate this thought-provoking novel.
this is the perfect reading journal, it has a spread for everything! I really enjoy this and can’t wait to use it in the future. The stickers are also awesome! :)
A great way to keep track of books!
I am not creative enough to create a bullet journal for my reading journey, so this journal is perfect for my needs as a reader and a reviewer. Thank you to NetGalley for offering this to users.
Thank you so much for this cute journal! It's such a fun way to keep track of books, and it's an excellent source of motivation for sticking with my reading goals!

I absolutely love this!
Reading journals is something I always look at on social media, but they seem like to much work. This one is very straightforward, with all you need. And it's pretty too! I printed mine out and will add the covers as I finish the books. :) Hopefully, it will help me stay on track this last quarter of the year.
The only bad thing about it is that I discovered it too late. :)
This looks so good! I've been trying to do something like this as a reading journal for a while. I guess I have plans for the whole weekend now!
An excellent reading journal with customizable printable pages. Can be used on the computer or printed as a physical version. This is a really lovely way to keep track of books that you've read, and I love the stickers!
I really loved this so much again something I wish we got physical copies of. Thank you so much for the ideas and things you do and for being a pillar in my life.
NetGalley’s Book Journal PDF by We Are Bookish is a fantastic and handy tool for anyone looking to keep track of their NetGalley reads and reviews. The journal offers well-organized sections for tracking yearly goals, whether personal or reading-related, allowing you to set your intentions for the year ahead. I particularly love the monthly check-ins and dedicated space for book reviews each month, which helps to stay on top of my reading progress.
The journal goes beyond just tracking—it’s filled with fun and interactive activities like a habit tracker, an A-Z reading challenge, and even a reading bingo game, which adds an extra layer of enjoyment to my reading journey. I’m excited to participate in these challenges to add some variety to my reading routine. The end-of-year wrap-up section is another great feature, providing a space to reflect on my favorite books, authors, and tropes of the year.
Overall, this book journal is not just practical but also engaging, making it a must-have for any NetGalley reader who loves to stay organized and have fun with their reading. Highly recommended!

One feature I particularly appreciate is the monthly check-ins. They allow me to reflect on my reading habits and set new goals. The habit tracker is also a thoughtful addition, helping me keep track of how often I’m engaging with my books, which has been really motivating for me.
This journal isn’t just a practical tool—it’s also enjoyable to use. From tracking my progress to having a space to express my thoughts creatively, the NetGalley Reading Journal has added more structure and fun to my reading life. Whether you're a seasoned reviewer or just getting started, I highly recommend it to any book lover!
