Please, can we have more?! Such a great digital journal, thanks for sharing this. Since I went digital for my reading journal, this has been a great edition.

This is a cute and helpful little booklet to help keep track of your reading and reviews. A set of pages to print up for journaling about your book journey! There are tabs to quickly navigate through the booklet, which is nice, but I think it would be better if the whole thing was interactive so that we could type right onto the pages.

The beginning explains how it works and a little about NetGalley. Then there's a monthly log (the tabs are for each month). After that, there are some activities and challenges that I thought were neat. One activity is, read a book where the title begins with a letter, going through the alphabet.
There is a NetGalley Bingo and a coloring section based on books that you've read. Overall, pretty neat idea.

The NetGalley Reading Journal is such a great format to engage with and track my reading mindfully; I am so excited to begin using it!

I thought this was an amazing idea and a great way to help readers journal about their books. Definitely super helpful when it comes to keeping your ARCs organized and writing down thought so you can write reviews!

This will work great for some people, but it doesn't work for how I track things. Thanks for the free gift.

This is really cool! I have never seen anything like this before so thank you for putting this out there for us to be able to use!

the NetGalley Reading Journal, published by We Are Bookish, came out at the end of 2023, but I enjoyed checking it out this summer along with the Camp NetGalley Program! This journal gives some great opportunities for reflection, ways to keep track of books, and ideas to help us with providing feedback for books that we have read through the NetGalley program. I really enjoyed and appreciated it! Thank you NetGalley and We Are Bookish for this book and the opportunities to improve my reading and reviews.

Oh my students would love this! I am an advid reader and love to use reading journals. I do use Goodreads to track my reading and books. I have purchased reading journals before from big name companies. I am so bookish it is not funny. This is a great tool to have. Highly recommended!

Why do I need to give feedback on this to avoid getting a ding on my percentage? I downloaded it to see what you were offering. I decided it wouldn't work for me.

This reading journal is the best free digital journal I've come across. This year, I got to the point where I made my own on Google Docs but it's taking a lot of time and I'm falling behind very easily. Next year, I'm hoping that I can use this template instead and speed the process up. I love the idea of keeping a reading journal but I don't want to waste lots of paper so this is a great alternative, Great job, I really hope you release more of these during the next Camp NetGalley. They are perfect to keep track of all my goals on this app.

This is a fun idea and useful for keeping track of all the arcs I read in a year, however I dislike that it takes up space on my shelf,

This is a lovely journal for keeping track of my NetGalley ARC reads, with a wonderful layout that's fun and easy to use.

This is a cool little resource for keeping track of the books you read and review for NetGalley.
I would love a printed version!

This reading journal has a really great design layout. It would be wonderful if there was a print version of this available to purchase for those who prefer pen and paper.

I love the layout of this journal, but I haven’t used it in a way that would do it justice. I start off really well with reading journals and then after a couple of weeks they end up sitting on the shelf gathering dust.

I’ve been reviewing books and using reading trackers for a long time, but a for some reason, I’ve always been intimidated by reading journals. I just learned of this one through Camp Netgalley 2024 and I’m excited to give it a try. I’m going to dedicate it to ARCs only, which I think will be very helpful when it comes to keeping track of release dates and when to publish my reviews on social media, so I’m pretty excited about that.

I wasn’t expecting the journal to be so extensive and have extra activities like bingo and the habit tracker, which are welcome additions. I think it’ll be fun to fill out the book shelf too. Hopefully I’ll stick with it and I can come back to this review and update when I’ve filled it all in!

This was a really cool idea but I struggle to use it. I am not big on using docs on my phone because it’s so small and, with that being the only device I have, I had a difficult time making edits. When I did figure out some things I didn’t like how it looked. Not necessarily a downfall of the journal, just feedback for those of us less familiar with techy stuff.

This reading journal is truly a comprehensive all-in-one way to track your reading goals, TBR, and reviews. I’m excited for an additional way to track my reading success and to be able to look back in a year at my progress. The layout is nice and clear, the font is legible, and I enjoy the simplicity and style of the color scheme and graphics. The journal is minimalist but just enough. Love it and can’t wait to start using it immediately. Thank you so much!
