I don't know if I'm techy enough to make use of this, but I'm excited to give it a try! This is thoughtfully laid out, and has just about everything you could think of to include in a book journal, including space for book images and various ways to track reading, including a habit tracker, challenges such as a BINGO card, an illustrated coloring challenge to encourage readers to explore different genres, and annual and monthly goal tracking! I also appreciated the free sticker bundles you could download with it. I do have a goal of bringing my feedback percentage rate up, and this might help me actually get there.

I really tried to make use of the journal, but it's just too cumbersome for me. Goodnotes is a pain to use on my iPad even with a keyboard. I have difficulty navigating the pages, tabs, inserting an image of a book cover. You name it. It's just faster for me to use a spiral notebook. And I keep track of all my books in my daily planner. Call me old school, but it's just faster for me using a pen, paper and maybe some embellishments of my own in my trusty notebook.

I love the NetGalley Reading Journals. I used last years and I was so excited to see on for this year as well. It is the perfect way to keep track of my ARCs. I really like the new additions this year on the monthly tracking sheets to keep track of my feedback ratio and shelves. I also enjoy the brighter color scheme this year. I hope NetGalley continues to provide these!

Love that these are available for net galley users. Very useful and fun to use as an additional project. Will continue to use in 2025.

Great resource for organizing NetGalley advanced copies. I sometimes struggle to stay organized with my reading—between my physical TBR, library, audiobooks, and NetGalley. I could see this being very useful for staying on top of my reading.

This is so cute and useful! I love the bright colors, and the monthly breakdowns are so much fun. The reading challenges are great for pushing myself to try new books, and for working my way through my tbr.

Very helpful guide to journalling your reads. I have always sucked at keeping a journal but with this guide it was super easy. Highly recommend if you want to get into reading journalling.

I’ve enjoyed using this to keep track of my books! Really user friendly and easy to use on my iPad! I did struggle initially but after looking at the help publication it became more apparent.

Lovely useful PDF but very NetGalley specific. I did not want to use it to tracl my general reading.

Another great reading tool from netgalley! Love being able to track my reading. This was thoughtfully designed and I love the format and the color scheme.

I honestly don't know how to use this! I have been trying to find it and I can't. I thought it was an interactive thing and not something I had to print out and use.

This is the perfect digital journal! There are over 100 pages, with hyperlinks that enable you to jump around to where you want. I personally use goodnotes for digital journaling, and really recommend using this app to import the journal into. Super useful - already filled January and can’t wait to fill out the rest!!

NetGalley Reading Journal is a very helpful and informative tool for readers who are journaling.
The book gave numerous spreads and layouts, giving you an idea of what you can do with your journal pages or use their pages directly. Their spreads were simple yet helpful and customizable. Journaling is a great way to let readers be more creative and express their opinions while keeping organized. I especially appreciated the review page and having different ones for physical or Kindle and audiobooks. There were many times when I'd read an audiobook yet didn't get to write down the voice actors and had to go back to see who they were. It's a smart tool to have in your review pages and designating ones for audiobooks.

There were many fresh ideas and inspiration for my reading journal in the NetGalley Reading Journal. I'm going to use a handful of ideas found in this book and I'm excited to try them out.
