Very helpful, well organized. I look forward to utilizing these tools in the future to help grow my social media presence and aid in organizing my ARCs.

If you’re new to NetGalley, it’s a good idea to review this journal even if you don’t think you’d use it, just because it’s a helpful overview of the process. To me, the journal’s design is not to my taste, but I still found it useful to take a look. I use a bullet journal and a google sheet. Here’s the system I’ve found helpful for organizing books that you later plan to make content on:; within NetGalley I assign all my books to a month list (based on month of publication), and then also to a relevant niche/genre list. Basically, I use the list function as tags, which allows me to choose a list as a filter. I have lists for topics or themes that I create content on frequently—so one book will be on several lists and this allows me to filter and sort my titles by month, theme, genre, and so on.

Not really a fan of this reading journal. I’m not crazy about the formatting and I can’t see myself using this.

what a clever little idea! I'm sorry but I can't think of anything else to say but not reviewing this "book" is dragging down my feedback percentage ratio so I'm just trying to give myself a little bump. I tried downloading the journal when it was first released but I'll be honest, I couldn't figure it out. I still think it's a clever idea.

This journal is a great tool in keeping track not only of what a person reads, but their thoughts on each book. While I prefer the digital trackers overall, these could be a great start for students to get excited for reading and sharing recommendations with each other.

Thanks Net Galley!

Okay, I am obsessed with this guide and tool. It was something I didn't know that I needed, but I can see my life drastically improving with this tool in my life. I liked the layout of the book review pages (it really covered everything needed). The monthly check-ins were pages that I never saw before especially with how it was catered to the NetGalley statistics. I also loved the challenges and wrap up pages! It is the perfect blend of fun and serious reviewing business!

This journal is a fun way to keep track of your reading for the entire year. I am mostly an audiobook listener so I love that it has a spot to include information about audiobooks!
