At first sight, this looks quite complex and time consuming. I spent a little while flicking through and deciding whether to use all elements, or select those that appealed. I plumped for the latter and now I’ve started to use it, I find it’s an effective way to maintain an easy to follow record of all books reviewed, when etc. I’m not bothered about setting target, but for those who want to increase their reading challenges, this provides all the tools. A brilliant resource.

Every new year I like to grab this reading journal because, while I create my own, I always find interesting things in the journal to add to my reading journal that help me to track better my Netgalley reads. I really appreciate the effort that goes into the reading journal. Thank you!

This is a great recourse for tracking books and book goals. It blends all reading modes into one, has spaces for monthly and yearly reading goals, and even gives a couple sheets for book reviews with jumping off questions.

There are also a few challenges in the back as well. This is a great resource if you like “hand” tracking your reading goals or don’t feel brave enough to make an online tracker yourself with one note or notion.

I absolutely adore this idea! As I embark on my journey as a NetGalley reader (thanks to the wonderful Freida McFadden for the introduction!), I am eager to utilize this journal to meticulously track my reading experiences. Having recently been granted the privilege of accessing pre-publication titles, I am committed to crafting thoughtful and descriptive reviews that authentically reflect my genuine opinions.

So far, I've just set up my journal in preparation for 2025 and everything has been pretty straightforward and easy to do. The questions that I have had were answered in the accompanying user guide. I look forward to using this guide to track my NetGalley reviews.

The NetGalley Reading Journal is a new resource for making and utilizing a reading journal and a general guide with tips to getting started with electronic journaling as well as a toolkit with tips for being an effective book advocate.

The folks at We Are Bookish have put together a journal, customizable pages, stickers, and more. This guide contains instructions for getting the most out of the journal and resources.

Graphically, it coordinates with the other items for e-journaling from We Are Bookish, and is a fun energetic "sunset" palette of oranges to purples.

It is fairly simple, but readers should be comfortable with basic computer tasks, downloading apps, setting them up, importing files, and copying/customizing pages.

Additionally, depending on how much time readers wish to spend on journaling, it could come at a cost of valuable reading time (finding covers, copying them, tracking reading time, filling in charts, etc). All in all, however, it's a great resource for -using- the journal and getting the most out of figuring out how to set the journal up and how to use it for maximum effect.

Five stars. It's very kind of the We Are Bookish folks to provide support and tutorials to make book advocacy easier and more fun.
