I think this is exactly what I need to keep myself organized in 2025! Thank you NetGalley! Added bonus - I'm learning a new skill of using SmartReads and my Apple Pencil for my iPad. I’m truly excited to see how this changes my reviews and keeping track of everything I read.

Used digitally a bit in 2024. I like the style and format. Very well put together and comparable to journals for sale, but optimized for ARC reviews. Plan to use 2025 version more regularly.

Very nice book reading journal. I used it with GoodNotes 6. This journal not only has a place for month to month tracking, but goal setting, TBR diversification and lots of note space!!

Thank you for this great resource to use throughout the reading year, Netgalley! It is so cute! I love it!

Thanks for the reading journal. it was very helpful to track my books! I have never used a journal before and now, I will continually use one in the future!

I was initially flummoxed when I opened this Journal - “How the heck do I edit this?” I thought. I liked the look of it and the very organised layout with tabs for each month, as well as the activities and challenges towards the end. Although I was impressed by all this, I had dismissed using it because it seemed beyond my technological reach. Thank goodness, therefore, for the Guide, which I very belatedly read properly.

I still need to learn how to use the features of Goodnotes so I can get the most from the Journal, but already it’s got me feeling more motivated about the reading year ahead. I’m especially looking forward to playing NetGalley Bingo…who doesn’t enjoy a game of bingo!

Thank you, NetGalley, for putting together this wonderful resource for us eager readers.

I've been looking into reading journals and I was so excited to try this one out. It's been real easy to figure out how to use and it's been absolutely beautiful

This template is actually awesome and is definitely worth the download. It includes everything you need for a reading journal so using this would easily substitute a paper journal. I will hopefully be using this in the new year

Will be making a lot of use of this over the next year - thank you to the team for putting this together

Helpful for tracking reads

As an avid reader I like to keep a log of my favourite reads and also patterns in my reading habits and preferences throughout the year and this tool has been helpful in this endeavour.

I am always looking for ways to record and remember what I read. This is a handy resource! recommend!

Excellent reading journal to focus on books read and reviews , activities are fantastic! This is a great book journal . Wish I had this years ago . So many wonderful books to add. I will share these ideas with my book club

This I sooo cuteee! I’m so excited to start using it and it’s just so helpful that it’s already set up!

This is a brilliant journal to keep track of the books I read! It contains more than I need even! Love the aesthetic side to it as well!

This is a cool idea, but I wasn’t aware that I would need a particular app to use it, so it was a little hard to navigate.

Helpful. Probably more pages and features than I need, but the structure is fantastic and useful. The primary benefit is being able to use it forever and add sections as needed. I have a similar one, but I do prefer this one when I think to use it.

This was super cute and a fun bonus from NetGalley! I enjoyed using this digital journal throughout the year. At the rate I read and review, I need it to be bigger though!

Great journal, the layout works so well for planning out reading and having a format to return to, I love being able to re-read my reviews and far prefer this to Goodreads etc

Eine geniale Idee und ein sehr hilfreiches Tool für jeden, der gerne einen Überblick über seine gelesenen Bücher behalten will. Sehr schön gestaltet und auch zum Teilen auf Social Media geeignet. Es gibt auch viele Sticker und Sonderseiten zum downloaden.

I loved this journal to help me keep track of my reading and think about what I had just finished. I definitely think this is something I can use with my readers in the school library in some way and look forward to future versions which I hope are made available.
