I'm so glad I downloaded the NetGalley Reading Journal! It's an extremely helpful tool to keep track of your TBR list, NetGalley shelf, and book reviews. The organization of the journal is great and the design is beautiful. I especially love the activities and challenges, they provided creative ways to find your next read or work through your TBR list.

This set of information for understanding best practices for NetGalley and social media has been so helpful, especially since I am new to the game. I have turned to them a couple of times within the last month. I wish I had a hard copy to hold in my hand! Thank you so much for sharing these and taking the time to distribute them. I have even shared some of the handouts with patrons who are trying to strengthen their reading journey for the year.

Very lovely graphics! The colors are vibrant and the tabs are aesthetic. I will be adding this jourrnal into my ipad and use it to track my reading each month! Thanks for putting it together :)

This journal is a great way to keep track of your reading. It also provides different challenges for you to complete. I love the page that allows you to write out what each star rating means to you. I really be completing this because I usually give an out of 10 rating but moving to a 5 star based rating will put me more in alignment with book reviews.

Love the reading journal so much! This year i'm using it to help me focus on reading goals to up my feedback ratio and read books in a more timely fashion.

This is a great digital journal format. I really using it to stay organized through out the year and to track all of arc reading/reviewing

Using this as my current book journal. Loving all the options it gives for notating books and the review age is better
Than some I’ve seen

This guide was super helpful! Thank you! I will definitely be returning to this for troubleshooting.

I love this so much thank you very much for the wonderful NetGalley reading journal. It helps so much wish at the very least trying to keep track of all of my arcs

If I can find a way to print this out and actually use this journal, it will be amazing! Thank you for providing it. It's a fun way to keep track of all the books I plan to read in 2025!!

Lovely that this is a free resource. Not only is it free, it also high quality! I typically use digital planning tools so this was a wonderful surprise. As a new member of NetGalley, this resource provided insight and guidance on how to get started and stay organized in the process. All the links work, instructions are clear, and customizable options are limitless. I think even if someone has never used GoodNotes or similar apps for digital planning could figure this out.

It is very well made and makes it very easy to track one’s own books. It’s great that each month has a review but you also have an overall review. It would be great to have an actual physical copy of this.

The idea of a reading journal is fun, and would probably work fine if I was on a computer, however, I was looking for a journal that would work on my Kobo Libra Colour, so that I could do a quick review as soon as I finished reading the book.

The sections are handy, I like the templates, and the links between the sections work well on the computer, but it wasn't as easy to use on an e-ink device. So some of that is format, and some is the limitation of my device, but over all, not quite what I was looking for.

The NetGalley Reading Journal was a quick and easy PDF file to download. I was pleasantly surprised to see how creative and unique it is, simple yet classy and very helpful. I wish I could print out the whole journal but the document is over 100 pages, I would love for NetGalley to give readers the option of obtaining an actual physical copy of this reading journal in the future. I think this would also make a perfect gift for any bookworm especially for the holidays!

This is a beautiful and simple digital way to keep track of your 2025 reading. The design is mostly easy to understand and utilize in a PDF with clickable tabs and links all over! My favorite example of the tabs are the positive quotes each month has -- ex. "Read with Pride" for June.

There are lots of opportunity to input book covers throughout, which I personally enjoy doing rather than typing out titles and authors.

My favorite section has to be the "Activities" because there's so much opportunity for creativity.

The only thing that something that a personal physical tracker would have and this doesn't is the ability to customize demonstrating how much you read rather than the auto-4-books-a-month guideline in this copy. I'm also a bit confused by the "Upload Stickers" page and wish that was clearer because e-stickers are a super fun idea.

Love this, thank you so much NetGalley for the reading journal! I will have a lot of fun tracking my books.

I’m very much a paper copy kind of a gal, even if I read a book on my kindle I find myself still wanting to purchase the book. Excited to use this to track all my reads on net galley this year!

Love this!! It’s so cute! Plus I can print extra pages each month if needed. This will be a great tool all year long.

The journal’s design is tidy and easy to navigate, making it simple to use and stay organised.
I love the “check-in” pages, which allow you to track your progress over time—these were such a great motivator. The habit tracker is another fantastic feature, perfect for staying consistent with reading goals.

What sets this journal apart are the creative reading challenges, like the A-Z Challenge, NetGalley Bingo, and Categories Challenge. These add a fun and engaging element to your reading journey. The “wrap-up” section at the end is the perfect way to reflect on your progress and accomplishments.

Neat reading journal for keeping track of arcs and reviews! It's got lots of spots for reviews and has a place to put a picture of the book. I can't wait to use it!
