This is a really helpful guide if you are planning to use NetGalleys reading journal.
I had never used Goodnotes before, but with the step by step guidance I was able to add the journal into a Goodnotes notebook with no problems. I even managed to download the cute sticker packs provided by NetGalley to my journal! The guide also covers some quick tips on duplicating pages and adding images which is great for adding book covers to make your journal look nicer.
It will probably take me some time to figure out how I want to use and personalise my new journal but I’m off to a great start thanks to this guide.

When I downloaded the Reading Journal I really didn't know what to do with it, so this guide came in real handy. It's very easy to follow and I'm looking forward to be editing the reading journal while using this guide to see my progress of 2024 so far.

This is so helpful! I love using the journal now that I can navigate it thanks to the guide. I'm able to keep track of my reading again, and I love the prompts. Thank you!

This was helpful since I’ve only ever used paper and pen. It was nice to see examples and have a guide rather than free range.

This was so helpful. I really enjoyed learning to use the reading journal. I think it would be easier to use this on a device other than my phone but, unfortunately, that’s where I read most of my e-books.

This would be a great resource to accompany the reading journal. It is well written and divided into helpful sections. However, I was not able to go back and forth between the guide and the journal to successfully import the journal into the Goodnotes app, as indicated in the directions. The concept is good, but it was not user-friendly for me.

Thank you for the reading journal and user guide! This was very helpful. I like tracking my reading and coming up with new ideas.

I didn't know what to expect when with this journal guide, but it is very informative. I love having a journal to remember all the books that I have read.

This will be so helpful as I go through the reading journal in case I encounter any problems or hiccups!

A handy guide for the NetGalley reading journal. Perfect for tips and when you're in need of some help.

Gives clear information on how to use the NetGalley Reading Journal, I am not sure yet if I will be using the NetGalley Reading Journal as I am very hooked to my excel sheet.

This was incredibly helpful for someone just starting out on GoodNotes. Everything was simple and straightforward.

I was having user issues with the journal so I got the guide and it literally answered all of my questions.

Great user guide to help you get the NetGalley Reading Journal set up in either GoodNotes or Xodo. Fingers crossed I get mine to work correctly.

Unfortunately it didn’t work for me but the templates are amazing and are very inspiration. I am unsure why I didn’t work for me I followed the guide but I wasn’t able to save it.

Reading this guide really helped me understand all of the things I can do with the Netgalley Reading Journal and how to use it on multiple apps for multiple devices. Thank you to We Are Bookish for providing such an awesome guide on how to maximize the Reading Journal to keep track of all of my ARC reads. I hope to see more gifts like these from We Are Bookish.

An easy to use guide which supports the NetGalley reading journal. Another incredible free resource!

This was a great informative read. It helped me to understand the reading journal and NetGalley a bit better. It was easy to read and although Xodo now costs it is a good little tool for editing pdfs and I never knew it existed. The information was interesting and I found myself excited to start using the journal and I have never even wanted to use a journal before this for keeping track of books. That is what GoodReads is for, right? Well maybe not. Thank for the info dump.

This guide is very helpful. It’s a comprehensive overview of any questions you may have of the NetGalley Reading Journal. When I initially downloaded the Reading Journal I didn’t think it was more me, but this guide helped me figure out a way to customize it to my liking. It includes how to navigate the journal, suggested apps, how to add book covers, and more!

I downloaded the Reading Journal without realising there is a User Guide! Thank you to NetGalley and We Are Bookish, a lot is clearer now and I will give the journal another attempt.
