Love the reading journals! Look forward to filling it out throughout the year! The instructions were easy to follow and it came with sticker packs to download, as well as bonus challenge pages to fill out which was also really nice.

This is such a fun template to use and really a good place to reference when you're in a bookish content rut. Thank you!

It is absolutely INCREDIBLE that this resource is free. Thank you NetGalley for providing this! Every page is extremely thoughtful and well-designed. I haven't been keeping up with it too closely, but I hope to go back and fill this out regularly to track my reads in a more organized way. Very professional and clearly designed for book-lovers. Highly recommend!

This is a really useful guide for a reading journal. I recently made my own for the first time and there are definatly some things i could improve on after looking at this. Definatly worth looking at for anyone doing a reading journal

I loved the journal layouts, and it seems easy to use. I also loved the simplicity of it as well. I can’t wait to start using them. Thank you so much for this free reading journal!

Such a fun an easy way to start book journaling! Clear and concise while also using fun eye-catching colors.

Thank you for providing a free option for those who want to track/journal their reading progress. This is a well designed digital journal for which I found easy to use. As someone with ADHD, I find I require 2-3 different versions of journals for me to track depending on my mood of the day. Sometimes I will spend months using just the digital copy on my tablet, whereas other months I need a physical copy. I particularly love the tabs making it easier for me to navigate between sections.

Thank you for the gift of this journal. I am enjoying using it. It is helpful in tracking all of the books I am reading in 2025 and capturing my thoughts on the books I read, both inside NetGalley and not.

I was hoping this would be something I could print out because it looks so cute! I don’t have a tablet to be able utilize this in the way it was meant to.

An excellent reading journal. This is the first year I have used this, and I am enjoying using it very much so far.
Thank you NetGalley.

Wow, this reading journal really has it all! I like to track my reading digitally but have been looking for some overview and wrap-up templates for a while. I especially like that there is a great variety in this pack and the monthly check-up pages seem to be fun and easy to fill out each month. Special thanks to the team that you included an Audiobook section! Great job and Thanks for providing this.

have loved using this journal in 2024, and I’m excited about the new 2025 color scheme. I found this very useful for keeping myself organized every month, and I love that it is a visual way to see what I read. I also like how customizable it is. I will definitely be using it again in 2025.

One of my goals for this year is to do a better job of keeping a reading journal. I love this simple format, and can't wait to attempt the Bingo as well.
Thank you, NetGalley! All opinions are my own.

I loved it, the book review pages , the challenges and the favorites of the year ,but I don't know if I will use it, the xodo app is expensive here and I couldn't find another similar.

Love this reading Journal! It is so use friendly and beautiful too! I haven't ever used a reading journal and this one is great because you can customize as you wish, add pages, copy and paste information, or just write your own! I use it on an iPad on Goodnotes and it has been super easy to learn. I give it a 4.5/5!

This journal is meant to help you reach your goals and while I can see how helpful this will be for most people, I just wish it had more spaces for someone like me who reads almost 100 books a month. I really like the monthly check-ins and because I was able to download this into Canva I could add categories that I thought I could use more. But if you read like a normal person this should be perfect.

I like the idea of this reading journal but am not tech savvy enough to use on the computer and probably wouldn't utilize if I printed it out in all honesty. If I knew how to use computers better it would be such a cute journal!

This is such a cute way to organize all the books I want to read and have already read. It’s fun, colorful, and a great way to keep everything organized and top of mind throughout the year. Perfect for anyone who loves tracking their reading in a more visual and engaging way!

I downloaded this reading journal to try out a digital reading journal. Unfortunately, I do not enjoy doing a reading journal in a digital format and have gone back to using my paper journal. The user guide was very helpful for getting started and figuring out how to use the digital journal, I am just not someone who is on my computer enough to make use of something like this. I will note, however, that I really liked two of the challenges found in the journal: the A-Z titles challenge and the NetGalley bingo, and have printed those out to play along in my paper reading journal. I think this would work best for someone who uses a tablet and/or enjoys creating digital art. It's a well-thought out and well-executed journal, I'm just a pen and paper gal.

Aesthetically cute presentation of a reading log! Good place to start if you're wondering what to look for when reflecting on your book.
