This is such a fun idea to really get immersed in reading new books in the new year. I love how it's interactive and colorful. Excited to pull out my tablet and get started
I keep a physical reading journal and I've always been intrigued by digital ones but never knew where to start. I love this one and I will use it in conjunction with my physical journal.
Looking forward to using this! I like the format and have printed it out to use in my 2025 reading.
I appreciated the effort the team puts into creating those documents. For newer reviewers, like myself, these documents are very helpful.
Making these printable is helpful I like to add notes as the year progresses- I do occasionally up my star ratings when a book sticks with me over time.
informative and helpful and the end of year release timing is great. The challenges and bingo at the end look fun too, Thanks NetGalley!
This journal is perfect. I have been looking all over for a way to be more organized while tracking what I have read. Love that it is on my iPad and I don't need to carry around an actual journal. All the extra bundles to customize the journal are so fun.
A brilliant concept that I am very excited to begin using. I have never kept a journal of what I am reading, but I also just started Netgalley a year almost two ago so just another thing to enhance my hobby as a reader!!
Thank you to the We Are Bookish team for making this not only easily accessible and usable but for also making it free!!
Thank you NetGalley for the 2025 Reading Journal. I love tracking my books and the journal makes it so easy.
Love this journal. Thank you so much. You make it so easy to track your reads, and I will be using this journal in 2025.
This is such a cute idea! The layout is amazing. This is such a helpful tool for those of us wanting to better organize our reading journeys.
I love the arrangement of the various categories throughout the journal and the spot for the stickers was an especially good idea. The link tabs make it really convenient to use and the different kinds of notepaper were a thoughtful touch. The activities are just right in terms of effort and volume and I like the style of the graphics.
I am not exactly sold on the color scheme and in a lot pages the thick black text is a bit jarring in contrast with the other fonts and letter colors (eg. the review pages).
Overall, there are a few things that could be improved, but I'm grateful you provided us with this lovely journal.
Thank you for providing this awesome reading journal and guide. I am excited to use it to help organize my 2025 arcs and to keep everything on track.
As always, the bookish reading journal is the perfect tool for book reviewers. All the different sections are useful and I particularly love the TBR section where you can add book covers.
A great resource that I love to adapt and use to help track my books. Glad this is available to us as a resource!
This is so incredibly cool! I absolutely love the design and can't wait to dive in and get started! Thank you, NetGalley!
This reading journal is so cute! I like that it starts out with tips about NetGalley and links to resources for learning more. I found those resources to be super helpful when I first started out, and it's handy to have them linked directly in this "Read Now" title. I reviewed the original color palette NetGalley Reading Journal. and I think that one of my pieces of feedback was that I'd like to see multiple color options. NetGalley and We Are Bookish delivered!!
What I liked:
- About Me: I have a "bookstagram" account, and I'll definitely be using a couple of these ideas as prompts for future posts
- Yearly Goals: I love the NetGalley Feedback Ratio goal. I want to focus on keeping my ratio in a healthy range this coming year and not overcommitting to or overrequesting ARCs that I know I won't have time to review in a timely manner.
- Audiobook-specific tracking page: I think this is such a good feature!!
- Monthly Check-In pages: A nice touch to reflect on how you're tracking towards goals and reading
- Activities: The habit tracker and other extras are fun!
I love that they do this every year! It's such a fun resource and we appreciate that you provide this for free to us!
I'm so happy to have this again this year! It is nice to have a dedicated place to keep track of my reading and goals.
I am a huge fan of all things reading journaling and this NetGalley version is amazing! I am hoping to be better and keep a better track of my NG reading in 2025 and this journal would definitely help.
Thank you NetGalley for the Reading Journal. Great ideas for reading in 2025. I like the idea of mapping out a year in books.
