I am so excited for how cute and easy and comprehensive this reading journal is! I can’t wait to get it printed and to add things to it digitally to share. I always talk about how I need a reading journal but never get around to making a bullet journal look cute, so thank you thank you, NetGalley for helping a girl out!

The thoughtful prompts encourage deeper engagement with the text, while the beautiful and practical layout makes it a joy to use. With sections for favorite quotes, character analysis, and personal ratings, this journal is a comprehensive tool for tracking and enhancing your reading journey. Highly recommended for avid readers who want to capture and cherish their literary adventures!

Although there are plenty of sites where you can track your reading, leave star ratings, and write reviews, the NetGalley Reading Journal adds a personal touch to the reading journey that is appreciated. Not only can it serve as a more tangible record that you can save or print out, it is highly customizable, with spots for covers, stickers, and goals beyond just the number of books read that most trackers offer. And if you're not sure where to start with upping the ante on your reading, the journal also provides multiple challenges to get you in the groove of reading. I think my favorite parts are the coloring page where you can customize your bookshelf and the reflection pages provided at the end. A lot of reading trackers have a sort of turn and burn feel, asking you to meet a goal and then immediately make another without even looking back on what you've accomplished. The reflection pages allow that and give you some time to consider what you might want to change as you move on to another year of reading. Overall, I think this is a great product for anyone who not only wants to read a lot of books, but also wants to think about what reading means to them. I'm looking forward to using mine for the rest of the year and being able to start fresh next year too!

It is hard to use on my mobile. I will have to change my review once I try it on my PC. It definitely looks to be a helpful tool!

Clear and comprehensible while still being comprehensive, the NetGalley Reading Journal is a great digital tool for tracking your reads. With easy navigation, the journal starts with a short overview of your shelf before going into review pages sorted by month. Each month has an overview for what you've read and other little stats, including some specific to netgalley, before going into the more usual review pages. These are conceise, which I personally prefer, while still giving you enough space to fill in your thoughts. At the end of the journal there are also plenty of goodies, reading challenges, trackers, etc.
The colour design is lovely, the graphics are nice and sticker packs are also available.

All in all a great digital journal, especially for anyone using NetGalley.

The NetGalley reading journal was much larger than I expected. There are so many options for journalists to include stickers, track feedback ratio stats or goals, and general thoughts on books I've finished. I love it!

This is such a fun and creative way to track books read! Clear, concise, and creative! I am having a great time playing with this and journaling about the books I’m reading.

it was ok, but I think I would rather use an actually physical book to use as my reading journal. I did like the extras in it like the added stickers, etc.

Me encantó. Me servirá mucho para llevar un control de mis lecturas.

Se que lo estoy descargando medio año después, pero en mi defensa no sabía de su existencia y sólo lo descubrí porque me inscribí en el campamento de NetGalley, sin embargo, me ayudará mucho. Más vale tarde que nunca.

This is an amazing way to keep track of your books, I really love it! I'm always looking for a way to remember my readings in a fun and practical way and this is it.

Thank you for this, it makes me consider switching to a digital book journal. I think I'd miss the old notebook.

Overall, I enjoyed this journal while I was using it. Life has now gotten in the way & I have not updated it since February since I do find it a bit time consuming. If there is any way to incorporate the journal with other websites or tracking apps, I would have been likely to keep up with it.

This is a nice idea, but to be honest I don’t use it because it’s a PDF on my phone. I think this is helpful for people who like to be very organized and look back on what they’ve read. I normally use good reads.

If you have a printer access and you like to be well organized I think you will love this book.

I'm just trying to meet the character requirement to post this review so I can get this off my list.

This is so cool! An online book journal, perfect for anyone who loves to have their book journal online! I personally prefer to have my reviews handwritten- I think I'm going to print this out to have it on paper :) LOVE THE SPACES FOR STICKERS! LISA FRANK STICKERS, CANNOT WAIT!

This reading journal definitly will be useful for a lot of people but I don't think I will be using it that much, it has some great ideas but this format is not for me.

A fun digital journal for those of us whose book obsessions need help in the management department.
Particularly useful if your mode is primarily digital (for me, while I enjoyed the layout and the peppy activities and available sticker packs, etc, I think keeping track of my reads manually is still going to be more my style!).
Great to see We Are Bookish supporting the community with big-hearted resources as always, ta!

This is amazing! I’ve only been using my note app to organize my readings/reviews before publishing them on goodreads and storygraph so I’m excited to start journal my readings & write draft of my reviews. Thank you so much for this beautiful journal.
