Thanks NetGalley for this digital reading journal! I can’t wait to give this a try for 2024 to try to meet my reading goals!

Fun and useful little tool. What a great idea! I can’t wait to kick the year off using this journal.

Much as I appreciate the thought behind this reading journal, I don't know that I can give it 5 stars. It requires learning how to use Xodo, a program that I didn't even know existed until now. And then, I'm supposed to personalize the journal and add my reading and reviews, and so forth.

I already track all of my books through Goodreads, and I keep a document for each year with my book reviews (which I started doing when Amazon deleted all of mine without notice!). This would be another place for me to track and save reviews, and I'm not sure it's worth the time and effort.

Honesty, I'd much rather spend my time reading and reviewing, and forgo learning a new system for tracking what I'm already doing. Thanks, NetGalley, but I don't think this is for me

So excited about using this next year with Goodnotes! I wish the stickers came in one of the goodnotes importable sheets, but I’m just being picky :)

Thank you NetGalley for the wonderfully useful surprise!
I had been looking for something I could use to keep track of my reading and here it is.
The monthly sections will give me the opportunity to track my reading in a way that will easily work for me.

Love this digital reading journal!! I hope to use it one day soon. I don’t have an iPad but if I ever get one this is the type of book journal I think I would thoroughly enjoy using. I love its simplicity and the overall look. It also has a ton of pages and prompts! Good job and thank you NetGalley!

What a lovely treat! It makes me so excited to track even more reading in 2024. I'm particularly looking to the various challenges offered, as it will get me out of my reading comfort zones!

This reading journal is perfect. I love the details which let you keep track of dates, goals, stars, individual reviews, number of books read per month and by each type (audio, ebook, physical). This is what every book lover needs:)

((Journal isn't interactive, there are no preloaded fields to fill in. The only way to "fill it" is to draw over it or insert text boxes. It recommends using a stylus pen 😔))

*EDIT: All right, Netgalley, you got me! I'm sorry, please accept my apology 💕

Once you get over the above and realise this is designed to be a legit journal that you write and draw in (literally, with a pen/stylus) and not a form you type in.. this is a world of fun!

The PERSONALISATION is fantastic!

+ I'm already filling up my STICKER SHEET with cute, free stickers you can find online.
+Adding BOOK COVERS is super easy, just copy & paste.
+ You can DUPLICATE pages to have as many book reviews per month as you like
+ DOODLE a big red DNF, smiley, flowers, literally anything you like to match your feelings and review.
+ BOOK BINGO and other games.. who doesn't like bingo?

This is for someone who enjoys and has the time for journaling, scrapbooking, personalising.... or if you don't have the time or desire for that, you can just use it as a simple book tracker.

Now to just actually finish reading some books on my ever growing TBR so I can start using it 📚 🙃

5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
