What a great idea! It's perfect for avid readers who like to keep track of their books. It's great for me.

This journal provides all I ever wanted from a reading journal. It is easy to fill out while still including fun and new pages I hadn’t thought to include in previous reading journals.

The journal has yearly and monthly overviews as well as individual book review pages. It also includes many fun pages like NetGalley Bingo, Best of the Year brackets and cute bookshelf pages you can colour in.

I would really recommend this journal to anyone who likes to read and track their books in a simple and fun way.

A fun way to organize your reviews and thoughts during your reading journey. It is beneficial to use this with a tablet or such- I had trouble navigating through my iPhone.

I really like the concept and looking at others when considering making one. I’m, unfortunately, not much into visual journaling. I’m sure someone who had a hobby of this would love #netgalley 2

This is really great. I love tracking my reading habits and this is by far the most complete template I've come across. It may not be the easiest template to work with, but I accept the challenge. Will definitely be editing this reading journal in the next few weeks to see my progress of 2024 so far.

Whilst it's a great layout etc I wouldn't use a digital journal personally preferring to do this type of journalling by hand

great tool and opportunity to be more structured in how we remember our thoughts on books- I
ve always wanted a reading journal but found it so hard to choose. I appreciate NetGalley sharing this gift!

I really like the idea of this journal, and it does have all of the primary components to have a comprehensive listing of books you want to read, books you've read, and your thoughts about the books on your lists. I have an older Chromebook, though, and cannot find free software to be able to utilize the journal. I've considered trying to use this on my phone, but the screen is too small for this to be comfortable. I hope to be able to use this in the future but can't at this time. I also wish that the FAQ/User Guide was a section within this instead of a separate document.

This is a gem for avid readers. I could see my students who love to read(sadly I wish there were more) enjoying the various customizable activities. My faves are the genre challenges and choosing the best of the year. Lots to choose from.

I’ve enjoyed jotting down notes and lists that I can keep together for easy reference. It is my first time using a book journal, besides my notebooks, and it’s fun to update everything and feel organised. I’m actually for the first time ever making dedicated TBR’s for each month. I’m not necessarily sticking to them, but that’s a me problem.
Most bookish people would be happy with the reading journal, so if that’s you, try it out.

Thank you Netgalley for the complementary journal.

This book journal is nice. I don’t have a tablet that I can use for it unfortunately but jf I did I would def use it for my NetGalley reads. It’s simple and looks easy to use.

Love this reading journal!!!! It was great to be able to organize my reading with, on top of the trackers I use. I think it is very cool that NetGalley made this available to use.

Wasn’t what I thought it was. DNFd. I could see it being useful, but it was not what I had been looking for at the time.

Amazing, great use for any reader! Every reader should have something like this. It's perfect for anyone who's is obsessed with books. Especially if you are on social media, this would be a huge help, with all your books and everything.

Great idea, but I've found out I'm not using it.
So I will stick to putting my reviews on GR and not in a journal.
