A great intro into tracking my books and keeping tabs of what I'm reading and taking notes of quotes/fav pages etc. A very basic readers guide.


Thanks we are bookish / net galley.

Thank you Netgalley for this innovative way to not only track the books that I have read, but also for the opportunity to keep notes on the books.

This is a great idea for many readers, but if you're not borderline OC about what you read, then it's probably not for you. This journal contains a number of ways for readers to catalog, review, rate, and basically remember everything about which books they read and what they thought about them. This reader appreciates the effort and thoughtfulness from NetGalley to its faithful reviewers by providing them with this journal, but for this reader, it's just too much to deal with.

Netgalley Reading Journal User Guide is a very helpful tool for readers and reviewers. Thank you for this!

I found this so difficult to understand finally got it right just for it to not work for me anyways I’m so annoyed took to long for absolutely nothing

That's a nice one, explaining how to use the Reading Journal. I can imagine it's especially good for untrained users, people who haven't grown up with social media or technology (sorry, boomers). I just got the Reading Journal and I am excited to use it now that I read so much about it.

Very Helpful. I like that is gives equal weight to those on an Android and an Apple phone as too often I run into bookish related guides only offers apps for those on iOS products and basically saying "good luck" to those of us with androids.

I haven't had a chance to really use this yet but I am quite certain it will be very helpful! I have so many netgalley titles and this is really going to help me stay organized.

I like the idea of this reading journal but I found it a bit difficult to set up and use. The GoodReads website, and app, do almost the same thing and it's a lot easier for me. Thank you for the Reading Journal, NetGalley, but I think I'll stick with GoodReads since I'm much more familiar with that and it is able to do everything that I need.

I really loved this book journal! I’ve been looking everywhere for a free online version so I can track my reading and this is by far the best one out there. It has everything you need and even space for you to add your own creative touch to all the pages. I highly recommend this book journal!

This was a helpful guide for the reading journal! Would recommend reading this if it is your first time using a reading journal! Very helpful.

super helpful and nicely designed. While I'm not using a book journal this year, in favor of reading more than thinking about reading, I would definitely use this if I returned to that habit.

very helpful for journaling. I requested it for myself but I’m going to share it with my class. Thank you NetGalley and publisher

Helpful and clear overview of how to use the net galley journal. Nice to have this available not only for guidance, but for ideas.

The NetGalley Reading Journal Guide is an excellent digital resource. It throughly explains how to download and use a digital reading journal with note taking apps like Goodnotes and Xodo. This guide helps reader know exactly how to use a digital journal to track reading and reviews. Thank you, NetGalley, for providing this free resource.

This was super helpful and I hope we get a journal and the guide next year as well. The journal is fun and a great help in tracking your reading.

This was a decent guide for the reading journal! It helped a lot with some parts that I didn't quite understand how to work with the PDF and all. Some of the guide could have been a bit more in depth or a bit more explained which is why I'm giving it 4 stars.

Thank you to NetGalley for the Reading Journal User Guide. This was a great resource that helped explain how to use the NetGalley Reading Journal. I loved how easy it was to understand the information. With the instructions provided, I was able to easily download the Journal and import it into Goodnotes to get started. The instructions were easy to understand and very helpful.

An excellent guide over how to use the NetGalley reading journal and ephemera. There's not much else to say about it, it does what it says on the tin, and it does it well.

For those of you who might want to grab a handy digital reading journal, this one is useful. The guide helps you to utilize the journal-- I was able to follow the easy directions to upload stickers, etc. into my Goodnotes app for my iPad.
If you haven't used Goodnotes as a journaling tool, you'll definitely want to take the time to go more thoroughly through the guide.
