Very cute gift from NetGalley! Will be utilising next year for personal book reviews and working on other templates

I really hate to give this gift such a low rating. Clearly a lot of work went into it. However it requires a pdf editor software. The guide suggests the Xodo app for android . The problem with this is the app is no longer free. The cost for the app is over $100.00 for 1 year. I can not pay that for something like this.

This is very cool! I am hoping to use it in 2024 to have something additional to keep track of my reading.

Thank you NetGalley and We Are Bookish for this gift!

Fun thing for next year. Thanks for the free journal. I can't wait to utilize this. And now I'm tired of typing stuff, but trying to hit the 100 character mark

Looks great! Not sure if I'm going to use it though since I already own a physical reading journal.
I do like the color scheme used in this reading journal.

This is a really thoughtful item to offer those of us that utilize NetGalley. I look forward to filling this out throughout the year! A big thank you to We Are Bookish & NetGalley for offering this as a download.

This reading journal is such a cute idea! It's really easy to navigate through too. I think it's a fun way to keep track of books read while also keeping a nice aesthetic. It looks a bit overwhelming at first but once you get used to it, it's not that bad.

The journal is beautiful and would be fun to use. Unfortunately, although I can easily open and view it, I cannot use it. To do so, I must pay Adobe to be able to edit. I'm not sure why this is the case, since I have been able to edit some files sent to me by an organization for which I volunteer, but when I click in the spaces to edit, I am unable to type. A window pops up with an option to edit the document, and when I choose that option, I am told I must pay for Adobe Acrobat.

I thank NetGalley for the idea and the thought to offer this to users but wish we could all use it.

this will be really fun to do in 2024. It will be my first time using a tracker. I really like all the stickers.

I feel like as a reader / reviewer it’s only slightly useful. It sucks having to swipe through constantly to find a page you want & if you don’t have a tablet it’s really not useful to use what so ever.

The journal looks great. It contains all of the stats I would be interested in tracking for a reading journal. Love the idea of being able to decorate the pages with various stickers and imported pictures of the book covers. The addition of the challenges makes the journal fun and engaging.

Only draw back to the journal is the required need for a pdf editor software. The user guide suggests the Xodo app for android and windows; however, the app is no longer free. The cost for the app is $108 for 1 year. This makes the cost of the journal prohibitive for me. One can use the journal with the basic pdf reader, like Acrobat, if you don't want to add images or stickers.

It would be a 5 star for me, if it was 100% functional without the need for an additional expensive software.
Thus, it is only a 3 star for me.

Very kind of NetGalley to give this to readers. Clearly a lot of effort was put into it. I'm not sure it is something I can personally use because it requires extra time I don't really have. But I think it's a greatvidea and I'm sure there are others who will find it useful.
