Love this reading journal - it looks aesthetically pleasing and it’s really easy to use and such a fun way to keep track of all my books!

Thank you so much to NetGalley!
I love that you provided a free reading journal for members!
it is such a good resource and I know I will be using it in the future.
As someone who is new to Netgalley and professional reviewing this is a great resource. I love that everything is simple and easy to read. The font is big, simple and the PDF itself is formatted wonderfully. I really liked the challenges as I think they push readers to explore books they might not have thought to.
Defenitly going to be using this as I try to tame my TBR!

I really like this book it was a great with good ideas to implement in life. I received a review copy from NetGalley but the views and opinions expressed herein are my own.

Great for archiving books I am reading and keeping track of smaller details that I would want to look back on. I also like being able to customize the book to my own preferences.

I found the reading journal to be very useful. Loved the way it was set up for reading goals for the year. I have printed it and used the journal well thank you.

I downloaded this last year and never ended up using it, I love the idea behind it but am generally a fairly unorganized and forgetful person so opening this whenever I read a book is inconsistent. Someday I hope to be more consistent!

I love a good reading journal! Thanks NetGalley! Excited to use this resource as I continue on my reading journey.

This is a great solid book journal! I found great use out of it and use it to track my reading; however, there are some features I prefer from other journals over this one.

Loved this reading journal and easy to utilize! I was able to download it on my iPad and it was nice to being able to add in the book covers of the books that I was reading. Giving full star rating besides a full star and a half rating.

NetGalley Reading Journal is an excellent digital journal that helps you plan your reading list and reviews and keep track of your book library. I quickly added it to my phone's planner app, and the hyperlinks work efficiently. It also includes fun reading challenges. It’s super easy to use

I love this reading journal and all of the features. The Activities section is brilliant and falls in line with exactly the sort of data I like to collect over the year. I love the digital navigation but I couldn't seem to type in my book info or reviews. It would be great in print (and this is what I prefer for book journals anyway) but having a fully interactive digital option would be brilliant. I would LOVE to see this turned into an app with the features (and filling in the pages) available online and on my device to create a functional and accessible journal that I don't have to carry around (outside of my phone or tablet).

This is heaven for all the book lovers!!! Absolutely love it and will be definitely be using it!!! Can't wait!!!

I love getting things for free and NetGalley is perfect for that. This journal is so well-thought out and extensive. I am excited to use this and try it out since I have been looking for a good, digital reading journal. I am sure I will fill it up in no time. I really appreciate the monthly break-down because I tend to like to reflect on my reading on a monthly basis.

Still trying to figure out how to use it lol. For some reason it’s not loading on my iPad. I think once I get it tho, this will be super helpful keeping track of reviews!

This is a great way to keep track online of your reading and stats! NetGalley makes things so easy and this is a useful tool to help everything stay organized.

Thank you NetGalley for this wonderfully put together journal to aid with reviewing the many books reviewers need to keep track of while using this website. I especially liked the categories challenge page and will look forward to any other reading journals or pages NetGalley creates!

This Netgalley Reading Journal really is more than you would expect from the name.
Sure, the main purpose is to track your reading habits, but you'll get so much more than that with this 104 page journal.
The journal is tabbed along the side with all the months of the year - letting you easily go to the month you're in to record your books. Along the top, the journal also has tabs for your shelf, stickers, activities, wrap-up and notes.
At the start, there's a bit of information, places to put in your own information and space for your reading goals. Next comes your shelf which is a place, they suggest, to list the books you want to read or listen to.
Then comes the months. Each month comes with space for your goals, reflections, most anticipated books and other little bits. Then it's a book per page for your reading journal. A book review page allows you to put all the details about the book, the cover picture, your review and your favourite quotes. There are spaces for 4 reviews per month.
After the monthly reviews comes a space to put stickers (downloadable from Netgalley, as far as I can see). Then the activities - reading challenges and more. The wrap up allows you to show your 'best of' of the year, then finally space for your notes.
Overall, this is a fun and useful reading journal with lots of little extras. You can use it as much or as little as you like but it will help you to keep track of your books throughout the year. Recommended.

This is a great way to keep track of the books I read each month. I appreciate the added details and the overall aesthetic.

This is super cool! While I don’t think I will actually use this in its entirety (it’s just not how my brain works) I found a few ideas for enhancing my system based on this! If you enjoy tracking your read and statistics on a month to month basis though, this is ABSOLUTELY for you!

Just downloaded this in March 2025! As I noted in my other note (linking below), I wish I had started in January, but still helpful to have this.
