I loved this reading journal! Such a fun way to keep track of my NetGalley reads for the year! I would love to continue to see NetGalley creating reading journals for future years, as it's a delightful new addition to the platform.

Lovely for the sole purpose of tracking reading goals and book goals. Personally I don't tend to use anything like this, but I would consider this journal as it seems so easy to use and navigate and has everything you'd need for keeping notes tidy.

I did not think I could love NetGalley more, and then I discovered their Reading Journal. Beautifully designed and easy to customize, I'm so excited to add this companion to my reading journey!

I really liked the set up of this digital journal. It's fun and interactive and a great way to keep track of books. I gave it 4 stars because I'm not a regular tablet or computer user so I found that I wasn't great at logging my books and would prefer a physical copy. However, if you prefer to work with a digital file, you would probably really enjoy logging your reads this way.

This could be a great way to keep track of books read, if one did not want to use a site such as GoodReads.

A nice handy place to keep all my reading habits in one place. Customisable, easy to use. Useful trackers to keep a record of everything I've read.

I requested a copy of this reading journal as I have been wanting to try to set one up. I am not into digital journaling but find that i can incorporate parts into a physical one. It gave great ideas into sample tracking spreads, what to track and how to track. It was very well organized and easy to use. This would be a great reference for newbies interested in reading journals, especially digital versions.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for gifting me with a free copy. Opinions are my own and freely given.

This is actually a very clever tool. As a reviewer and a blogger, this is not only a great way of tracking my reads, but a great resource for blogging ideas. Honestly, my only complaint is I wish I had this in physical form. Thank you for this thoughtful book, Netgalley!

It’s a little more intensive than I was looking for but definitely a good template and resource for someone who uses netgalley a significant amount. Also great for someone who wants to start a book journal but is overwhelmed by starting from scratch.

The NetGalley Reading Journal is a super handy tool to track your yearly NetGalley reading progress and reviews.
I'm not well versed in the use of digital journals but this is one of the more simple ones I've tried. Though I'm yet to try the available stickers, so I can't speak to the benefits of those.
I particularly like the My Shelf section where you can find where in the journal you can find particular books and reviews thanks to the finish date section—no more flipping through an entire journal just to find one book. I also loved that there's a section specifically for audiobooks, as I listen to audiobooks daily.
My favourite inclusion in the NetGalley Reading Journal is the My Bookcase section. If a reading journal doesn't have a bookcase where you can colour and write in your yearly reads it's not the right reading journal for me. As a very visual and creative person I feel most accomplished when I'm filling in another book on the shelf. Sometimes a book is a bit of a hard slog, but when I get to colour it in and write the title on the spine of the book it makes me genuinely happy.
While I'm still no expert at using digital journals this is a great one for beginners. I just wish that the colours were more appealing.
