This is a great journal to keep track of all reading materials. I have always kept a reading journal that I just made up myself. This reading journal is so helpful. You can track so many aspects of your reading journey so easily by just using the tabs. I'd highly recommend this NetGalley Reading Journal.

Gratefully accepted the NetGalley reading journal. I always find it surprising how many books I read per year. This journal helps identify which type of genres I am most drawn to.

I enjoy this tool! It’s an excellent way to stay organized with past and current reads but it’s also helpful in putting together a review.

A very straightforward and aesthetic journal to note which books you have read throughout the year. I liked the minimal clean aesthetic since it fits with my regular journaling style on paper. I will be using this on my iPad to track my 2025 reading challenge.

This is a fun way to track books read and helps immensely to keep motivation to review ARCs! I believe this would be even more fun if I had an iPad, but I still enjoy it as-is.

Thank you We Are Bookish and NetGalley for offering this free digital Reading Journal.

I think it has everything you need for starting your reading journal journey and since it's a digital copy you can add anything else you want, so it is really versatile. I love the hyperlinks so the book is easy and fast to navigate. I also really enjoy all the stickers and extras you get with it. The colour palette is nice and natural and for the ones that want a more colourful one NetGalley also posted a new version.

I you want to get into digital journaling for your books/audiobooks, this is the perfect place to start.

LOVE having this journal to track my books for this year. Love the neutral color and all the space to insert the different books and ratings I have as I read. Such a good download!

The NetGalley Reading Journal was a delight for my 2024 reading experience! It helped to keep me motivated and introduced me to a new way of recording my reading digitally, for my eyes only. I hope that NetGalley unveils a 2025 edition.

A massive thank you to NetGalley and We Are Bookish for the e-ARC in exchange for my honest journal review! 🥰🙌

While I am still working through how best to use the journal on my tablet, but I am LOVING it so far. From the clickable tabs to the super fun stickers, readers will enjoy being able to access all their notes and trackers in one cohesive place. I go back and forth between physical and digital notes, so maybe this will encourage me to finally move fully digital?

Gratitude, always.

I really enjoyed the different features to track what and how I'm reading. The sections were laid out well and gave me tons of options and even ideas on tracking I hadn't thought of.

NetGalley's Reading Journal, what a game changer.for me Being an avid reader, I feel this will help me keep track of all the books I have read and am currently reading. This Journal will allow me to keep track as I am reading.

This free, downloadable PDF is a fantastic tool for those looking to keep a journal of their reads. The monthly check-ins, and habit tracker are a great way to be current with what you are reading, it covers everything. The attention to detail is fabulous.

I give the NetGalley's Reading Journal a complete 5 star review I would encourage every reader to use this.

Happy Journaling.

I started using this right away
I suggest downloading it to a tablet or Google Drive so that you have it with you always
It is set up in journal format and even has tabs for the months and shelves
You can add the book cover, and basic info such as publication dates, author, etc.
It even has a place for audiobooks
They have included everything you could want or think of - it even has stickers
Each month has its own chart to keep track of reads, goals, and reflections
It also has an end of the year-wrap up
It would take me pages to completely describe all the little extras that NetGalley has included to make your reading journey that much more memorable and easier
Highly recommend for bibliophiles

Very easy to download and get started. Great stickers to use to brighten the pages. Easy to import book covers and personalize.

This is a great way to keep track of the books read. I love that this journal can be customised with the downloadable stickers and can’t wait to use it.

It's taken me some time to jump into using my NetGalley reading journal, but I am really enjoying the ways it allows you to track the books you request and read via NetGalley. It's nice to challenge myself to read books within specific categories (books starting with specific letters, NetGalley Bingo, etc.) I am a mood reader, so this can be challenging at times.

I love how innovative NetGalley is. This was a great idea for a digital journal. I’d love to see more cool add ons like this from this site. You know us readers love reviewing our yearly reads and looking back on our favorite books.

Thank you !
