This is a really well laid out and aesthetically pleasing reading journal. It has everything necessary to keep track and record books read with lots of cool little extras!

A little challenging to set up. Recommended app has only a free 7 day period. Please recommend other options such as OneNote, etc.

Star rating is 3 only because I need to explore it more.

Love the colour scheme this year! Great layout and questions that get you thinking each month. The tracker of the feedback ratio etc. Is really helpful to keep you on track as well. Looking forward to using this!

Really cute reading journal with plenty of options for different pages you might want to use! There’s a great base for you to customise to your liking, as much or as little as you want! Can’t wait to use it for 2025!

Practical and aesthetically pleasing - I adore the updates to the reading journal. I used their last edition for 2024 and am loving finding out all the new additions and updates to the reading journal and look forward to using this for 2025 💖

5 out of 5 Stars












Thank you, Netgalley, for the gift that is this reading journal.

I'm excited to give my first go at using a digital reading journal, since my physical ones always seem to fall out of use rather quickly. I love the colorful options this year!!!

I'm so glad that NetGalley decided to make a new reading journal for the new year! I love the design of this journal with my favourite parts being the colour scheme and the quotes on each of the monthly cover pages. I like that the layout is very simple so would be flexible and easy to adapt to fit however you want to use it. Additionally I like the challenges included at the back especially the NetGalley genre challenge as it would be a great way to diversify your reading in the new year.

Overall, I love the design of this journal and thought the layout was easy to use!

Really cute guide full of helpful information and journalling layouts. Perfect for the beginner journaller. A wide variety of options makes it inspiring for even the seasoned ones.

The main feedback I would have would be to give more of a margin on the left side of the page so that it might be able to be hole punched, in case someone wanted to print the spreads.

It is good to see a new jornal - I already used it last year and I have to say i like this colour scheme so much more!

Thank you for the reading journal, NetGalley! I am really forward to using it for my reading in 2025.

I am so excited to use this reading journal starting in 2025. Thank you to Netgalley for allowing me to have a copy!

Great tool to assist with reviewing. When you read a lot of books it can be difficult to remember some of them , how you felt about them and how you rated them immediately after reading. This gives you an excellent way of keeping track.

I absolutely love that this reading journal was offered to NetGalley users. It is organized, succinct and the color palette is beautiful. I can’t wait to organize my reading in 2025!

Thank you for another free reading journal, NetGalley! I love the clickable tabs, as well as the pages for habit tracking, yearly wrap-ups, and goals! This will be so useful to track my reading!

WOW! So much thought (and coding/formatting) was put into this journal! There are tabs across the top for Shelf, Stickers, Activities, Wrapup, and Notes - then there are tabs down the side for each month! The journal pages are so detailed and I'm looking forward to testing this out in the Goodnotes (FREE) app!

I’ve been trying to find a digital journal to keep track of all the Arc copies I request and also what I’ve read and review.
This journal is just perfect. Not only has trackers and a planner, I like the fact that has challenges too.
NetGalley just made my 2025 reading road way easier.

Thank you for the beautiful journal, NetGalley! It’s beautiful, useful, and fun, and I can’t wait to use it this year.

I’m so happy I found this resource! The colors remind me of a south western summer sunset. They’re so vibrant and perfect! I can’t wait to a start 2025 off right with this awesome book journal. It’ll be so easy to track my netgalley reads now. I appreciate the free resource!
