Excellent idea but a little too tedious for me. I love the concept and it is very well thought out however I didn’t find tracking this way enjoyable. I think I’ll stick to quick and easy on Goodreads instead

This reading journal is a great tool for readers, especially for any reviewers. This is my first time utilizing a virtual reading journal like this and I love how user friendly it is. I was always nervous to try these out but NetGalley's version makes it seem so simple and fun! This journal includes a little bit of everything such as review pages, monthly check-ins, and reading challenger. It even how some downloadable stickers to use in the journal. I think my favorite part is definitely the challenges! This included an A to Z challenge, some Net Galley bingo, and even a bookshelf to color in.

This is a great space for readers to explore and track habits of all kinds. Whether you are an avid reviewer looking for a space to organize your reviews or just someone wanting a fun place to track your reads, I highly recommend downloading the NetGalley Reading Journal. Exceptional job to NetGalley and We Are Bookish!

Neat idea, not very functional for me though. I just have too many calendars, journals, etc that I am keeping up with, but maybe I will be able to give this a more fair review at another time.

Great book with great advice for book reviewers. I highly recommend this book for all book reviewers.

A great resource. The simple layout makes for a nice printed journal, but the embedded links also make it useful in digital format as well.

I love to use my planner on my iPad to keep track of my everyday life - so this reading journal is absolutely ideal for that! Lovely design and super handy too

I love this reading journal for keeping track of all my arcs. It has so many great features with the spots for the covers, ratings, due dates, etc. I appreciate NetGalley offering this

Looks really fun and cool, I just haven't been using it, so it isn't my kind of thing. Perfect for others who can actually keep up with their journalling and record keeping of their reading.

NetGalley's Reading Journal is an absolute game-changer for book reviews!!!! As an avid reader, the template in this journal makes it so easy to track and make notes as I read. It also allows me to stay on schedule for reviewing before the publish date. Lastly, it shows the genuine commitment of NetGalley to support not only authors but the readers reviewing the books as well.

I really love this reading journal! It has so many different sections and features and it very comprehensive. I love the shelf pages, and that I can have a quick summary of the books I own. I also really like the monthly recaps of what I've read and it honestly is so helpful. It really inspires me to read and get all my reading goals reached.

I love the idea of this as it has everything I love to track now that I am getting back into reading. I could not get it to work on my phone in order to use it though so it was a let down.

Comprehensive how-to for the reading journal and challenges. Useful if you wish to use the features.

Whilst clear and concise, the artwork and graphic design were not pleasing to the eye and seemed rather childish; things were too bold, not spaced well and the art just wasn't enjoyable.

User friendly! I have been using it now for a while and I love that it keeps all my reads for this year in order!

This is the digital reading journal template.
Associated with this reading journal there is a guide, “NetGalley Reading Journal User Guide”.
In my opinion it is a nice Reading Journal, to keep track of a whole year in reading.
I also liked some sections that I’m going to use in my paper Reading Journal.
The only thing, in my opinion, I found is a pity is that to use this Reading Journal and modify it digitally you shall download some not free applications.
But this is just my personal opinion.
I just have one suggestion, if they are going to make a second edition, is to make the whole Reading Journal colors that can be modified by the person using it.

This is a great reading journal for those who have a passion for keeping track of their reading in a fun way. This journal has so many different options that you can really turn this journal into something very individual and special to you. I like the fact that it has a tab for every month as well as a year end wrap-up. Very helpful companion when reviewing on NetGalley with the different prompts each review form has. Must be comfortable with this type of digital reading journal or have the time to learn the process so that reviews can be done in a timely manner..

This reading journal has everything that I like to see! I love the monthly pages where you get to keep track: what is your ratio, how many books on your shelf, and how many books you have read. I appreciate the different types of pages you would like in the note section. For me, I love using a blank or dotted pages since I can be creative with my design. Also, I really love the sticker section as well because I am a big decorator when making my pages.

One thing I wish they provide is different color schemes. I would love to see more neutral or even a pastel option.
