I downloaded last years journal in October and wasn't the hugest fan ,But i thought I'd give it a go for 2025 .
This years colour palette is much more to my taste ,but I find some of the concepts a bit childish , like having a goals section , I don't read to have goals I read because I can't not read .
Being new to NetGalley I also want to track books I am approved for and there isn't really away to do that - I might need to play about with it a bit more but I think I would like it too be more customisable , At present I keep a list of my books on a Spreadsheet and this is a more interactive way to do it

I honestly don't know if this is going to be my new favourite thing or if I am going to try to use it for a few weeks then forget about it. If its former I'll upgrade my review but for now 6/10 - cute but not my cup of tea .

A very clear, well laid out journal that makes it easy and enjoyable to organise and keep track of reviews.

This is a fantastic reading journal. It’s thorough and well thought out. It’s guided in a way that makes sense. It’s also very visually appealing.

I never used this, so this will be my first year. And from what I have seen, it looks amazing and I'm excited to log my reads in this. Thank you netgalley

A wonderful tool for tracking and planning reading for the year. It works great with the Goodnotes app.

I'm very excited to use this journal for 2025. Keep track of all the books I've read makes it fun to see at the end of the year. I love that it has so many activities.

Such a helpful reading journal and I can’t wait to use it in 2025. I like that it has multiple sections and lots of room for books in each month.

I like the idea of this reading journal and keeping notes on what I have read. However, I'm not sold on the digital aspect of it. I had hoped it would be something that I could make use of on my laptop, but alas the help pages indicate that I will have better luck using an app on my iPad. It's free, so Ill give it a try. However, I've also ordered a Reading Journal from Amazon and hope to make use of that.

This is the best Reading Journal out there and I have searched high and low. It is perfect if you have the Kindle Scribe as you can write directly onto the PDF. This will be very helpful with keeping track of my NetGalley shelf as well.

I think it looks great but it doesn't seem very intuitive and easy to use. I'll work on it a little bit and see if I can figure it out. Thank you for offering the option!

I am so ready to use this reading journal this year! It is a perfect companion for any avid reader! It was easy to set up on my Ipad and have already imported my netgalley reads for 2025! Highly recommend getting this if you haven't already! Thank you Netgalley for this wonderful companion!

Very helpful for writing reviews. This is what I have needed for a long time. Can refer to it in the future.

Absolutely cannot wait to get stuck into this journal from January onwards - the best start to the new year!!

I had the 2024 journal and this was the first journal I'd ever done - but it was brilliant and had everything I need from a journal

Love the stickers included and all the flexibility of it being online, which means I can add or remove pages as needed

Perfect
