This is so cute! I will use it to track my reading this year and improve my feedback ratio.
The activities are so fun, making reading a game is just my style.
Hopefully this will help me read more this year!

The journal is a creative way to organize books to read, reviews, and reading goals. I found it not only useful, but convenient and a lot of fun.

Oh. My. Goodness! I’ll admit I had a hard time figuring out how to download the journal, only the guide, but I finally figured it out. I am going to buy an iPad (finally) just for this. I have always loved and adapted new technology easily, but it can be a behavior change sometimes. When it comes to journaling, I’ve always preferred a paper and a pen—a traditional writer you may say. However, the more I read the more I would love a place that isn’t a book app to catalogue my TBR and reviews. It’s like a scrapbook for my reading. I’m going to try this on my laptop if I can for starters as I see my 2025 reading goals. I love the challenges at the end and I’m sure this exists somewhere online, but one of my goals is to read from my shelves more. An idea to add to the next one is an inventory sheet of our personal libraries! Thank you!!

This Reading Journal will come in handy to help stay on track with my reading and reviewing goals. I've downloaded the journal and plan to keep my writing goals in a similar fashion.

I love some of the page spreads and plan to use in my 2025 reading journal. My favorite spreads are the monthly reviews, the bingo challenge, book shelves, and monthly brackets.

I started journaling 2yrs ago and am old school. I prefer the paper journals. Great concept for those who love digital

A fun way of keeping track of my NetGalley books, very helpful and easy. Appreciate that it was something that was provided automatically.

I looked at this and is fine but I don't think it's for me. Maybe in the future but not currently of interest to me.

I downloaded this because I wanted to use a reading journal in 2025 to keep better track of what books I’m reading, but also as a way to look back and remember those books as more than a title written on a calendar. This had a lot of useful resources for not just organizing reviews, but for setting and tracking reading goals!

This is great! I’m usually trying to find something to buy and then end up hating it. I’m still figuring it out, but so far so good.

Now that I am using this reading journal in GoodNotes on an iPad I really love this journal and can't wait to use it for my 2025 goal setting and reading tracking. The stickers are also a great addition. It has many helpful pages and I really like how the individual book review page is structured. The linked tabs make it easy to "flip" through the journal. I am also using the shelf tab to keep track of my physical books and NetGalley books that I need to read in 2025. Thank you for this great resource for readers!

I love this reading journal! The muted colors are very aesthetic. While I am not colorblind, I do wonder how accessible those colors are though. I would suggest looking into that for the next one if it hasn't already been done.

This journal has a lot of resources for tracking read books, any upcoming, and your reading goals. I love that it's compatible with my ipad and apple pencil!

I am having a very hard time downloading with my iPad ..unable to locate the file … wish more comprehensive instructions so I could utilize this useful reading journal.

I love the arrangement of the various categories throughout the journal and the spot for the stickers was an especially good idea. The link tabs make it really convenient to use and the different kinds of notepaper were a thoughtful touch. The activities are just right in terms of effort and volume and I like the style of the graphics.
I am not exactly sold on the color scheme and in a lot pages the thick black text is a bit jarring in contrast with the other fonts and letter colors (eg. the review pages).
Overall, there are a few things that could be improved, but I'm grateful you provided us with this lovely journal.

What happens when you put 5 of the world’s greatest female mystery writers together along with an unsolved murder? You get “The Queens of Crime.” After being ignored by their male counterparts, Dorothy Sayers, Agatha Christie, Baroness Emma Orczy, Margery Allington and Ngaio Marsh put their collective minds together to search for the killer of an innocent, young woman. Will they succeed and at what cost.
