This is a great guide on how to use NetGalley's Reading Journal. Comes with tons of helpful hints for every user.

Thank you to NetGalley and We Are Bookish. All opinions are my own.

This is a helpful guide on how to use the reading journal. I felt inspired to use the journal in 2025, and this guide helped me feel like it wasn't as overwhelming as it first seemed.

This is a useful - and necessary - companion for the Reading Journal. I highly recommend everyone reading this before using the Journal. One caveat that irritated me - they recommend downloading and using the Goodnotes App. What they don’t tell you is that the app costs you. Okay, it’s only $9.99/year but still, I wasn’t prepared for that. Other than that a definite good thing to have if you have the journal.

Very helpful in how to use the journal - I'll be starting this in 2025. I liked being able to see how other things can be used with it, and how I can add my own details and updates. The guide being separate from the journal itself is great.

The user guide was very helpful in how to download and use the journal on a tablet. However, I do wish that it came in epub format and you could add blank pages.

Very helpful and very detailed!

It was informative and I will definitely be using it as a guide - I plan to start journalling in 2025.

Good information, as I didn’t know this app, called Goodnotes, was available. I think anyone looking for a new book organization tool, namely how to integrate a new app to better organize NetGalley requests and books in genreal, will enjoy reading this one.

I would like to thank We Are Bookish for providing me with an advance readers copy via access to the galley for free through the NetGalley program.

The Story
This is an interactive book shows the features that the Goodnotes app provides which can be used to track your reading throughout the year.

It provides step-by-step instructions of how to download the note-taking app and customize it according to your TBR and read piles for books of any format.

There is mention of stickers, how to integrate outside images, and how journal pages can be shared to your social media platforms.

The Writing
The instructions are simple.

Color scheme of soft forest green, brown, charcoal, and golden rod were soothing and polished, as were the stylistic pinned messages that displayed reminders.

I appreciated the interactive menu tabs arranged on the top for easy navigation to re-reference chapters.

Easy to understand and straightforward this guide is sure to answer any questions regarding the journaling process.

A super handy guide book on how to use the Netgalley Reading Journal. I found it really helpful with how to import my journal to Goodnotes and how to use the app to navigate my journal.

The NetGalley Reading Journal User Guide is informative and easy to follow. It has a simple layout with clickable tabs that allow you to navigate to different sections of the guide. It covers different devices and apps which makes it accessible for all.

After downloading the NetGalley Reading Journal and attempting to familiarize myself with it in my Kindle app, I realized I didn't know what I was doing. Thankfully I discovered the recommendation that I consult this handy user's guide to help me figure out what to do. It worked perfectly and I highly recommend it to anyone who doesn't have the intuition or the technical expertise to immediately figure out all the possibilities of their new Reading Journal.

Simple yet effective. Written in a way that is easy to understand. This will help keep track of my reads and reviews.

Great tool to keep a digital reading list of your books. It includes app suggestions to work with it and a step-by-step guide to use it. Thanks, NetGalley for this guide.

The NetGalley Reading Journal User Guide sent me down the rabbit hole of digital journaling, and I have zero regrets.

I'm looking forward to using this (and other digital journals) to track my reading and reviews as I head into the new year!

really helpful, gave lots of information explaining how to set the reading journal up digitally and make the best use of it in different apps

A great and easy to understand guide on all things NetGalley and how to review. If you're new to NetGalley, I recommend giving this guide look... if you're an old hand on hear it's a great refresher.
