Possibly the most complete reading journal template ever.
I love this, such a great tool from the layout, the design all the way to the fun challenges.
Thank you Netgalley for this one, truly!

i always love a good journal or book tracker to keep track of books that i’m going to read or planning on reading this year! it’s so helpful and i really recommend !

I haven’t used a note taking app before downloading the reading journal. It was nice to have the video to help guide me through setup. I’d recommend another video on how to use it as well. I like it and will definitely use it to track my book reviews on titles I find here.

this is exactly what i want in a reading journal. it’s neither too complicated or too simplistic and fits with netgalley and my reading for it

Thank you so much for this! I truly appreciate the reading journal template. It’s exactly what I needed to stay organized and keep track of my thoughts while reading. This will definitely help me reflect on my books more deeply and stay consistent with journaling. You're the best!

I always like to see what NetGalley puts together for these reading journals and appreciate the time and work that went into this one!
I'll be using elements of it alongside my usual trackers (I like google sheets).

thanks NG!

I love this reading journal! I made it my goal for this year to keep better track of the books I read and this journal has so far made it so easy to do so! I definitely will try my best to keep up with it throughout 2025.

Great tool for readers. I look forward to using this resource to keep track of my books I've read, my reviews, my stats and goals.

Huge thanks to We Are Bookish and NetGalley for this amazing free copy—y’all really know how to spoil a bookworm! 💕

Okay, let’s talk reading journals. I’ve been on the hunt for one that actually fits all my chaotic bookish needs, and this? OMG, it’s a digital DREAM. ✨

First off, the organization? Chef’s kiss. The layouts are clean, easy to navigate, and totally user-friendly. 📚 Whether it’s tracking your books, reviews, or yearly goals, it’s all laid out so perfectly. The customizable review pages? LOVE. You can add star ratings ⭐, favorite quotes, and even sprinkle in your thoughts. Oh, and the challenges? Reading bingo and A-Z? I’m officially obsessed. 😍

But wait, there’s more! The NetGalley ratio tracker? Absolute genius—it’s like they read my mind. And don’t even get me started on the sections for favorite quotes, monthly habit trackers, and book stickers. It’s like the ultimate hub for bookish bragging rights. 🖋️

Now, the designs? Vibrant, aesthetic, and downright gorgeous. 🎨 This journal doesn’t just help me stay organized; it makes me want to show it off. Honestly, scrolling through it is half the fun.

Okay, tiny critique: I wish there was a bit more space for notes or maybe a dedicated spot for a monthly bingo board. But it’s so versatile, you can easily tweak it to match your style. 🖌️

Whether you’re a journaling newbie or a digital pro, this is perfect. It’s fun, stress-free, and ready to help you conquer Mount TBR like a boss. 📖✨ Highly recommend for anyone looking to add some extra sparkle to their reading life!

Downloaded to see whether this would be useful and believe it will be. A great way to keep a record of books read and want to read as well as reviews. Many thanks.

This one is a lot like the 2023 version and it is really well laid out. Obviously if you’re going to use it digitally you’re going to need an adobe acrobat or goodnotes subscription to be able to edit it. Alternatively you could just print it off. I really love the activities at the end though such as the bookshelf and the habit tracker, it’s a really cute idea and gives you some great ideas if you’re creating your own journal such as a bullet journal. I would definitely recommend downloading it, it’s a great free resource and I’d probably buy it if there was a physical version.

Never journaled before but this has me logging and writing all my book thoughts down. Thank you so much NetGalley for putting this together!

Thank you for this amazing reading journal! This is the second year in a row that I've gotten the NetGalley Reading Journal and I hope they keep making them from years to come!!

Great resource for anyone looking to keep track of their reading habits digitally for 2025. It has everything you could need set up and ready to go right at your finger tips. Love the bonus stickers as well to help make it even easier to use and also easily customized to make it really feel like your own. Will definitely be recommending and using this for my ARCs this year.

As someone new to NetGalley, but not new to booktok, I found this as a great tool to maybe digitalize your reading experience OR give you inspiration to build a bullet journal for reading (my personal fav). Thanks for the inspiration!

I'm going to be completely honest here- I have not started this. However, seeing all of the spreads is making me feel so motivated to try journaling again! I have already printed the "we need diverse books" challenge that was included in the bonus pages, and my coworker and I will be doing that challenge throughout the year. I also really like the specific netgalley tracker pages and will be definitely using those to track my arcs that I request/am approved for. I think it will help me stay on track and on time with reviews!

Very cute with lots of good prompts to be able to track yearly reading. Fun games and challenges. Nice clickable tabs to jump around and get to everything easily.

I set up my own digital book journal and have been using it for a few years. I saw that NetGalley had made one and decided to try it.

I love it! It’s easy to use (after a while of playing around with it and reading through the user guide) and I’m looking forward to tracking my books and reviews with it.

Because it’s digital, there is a lot of opportunity for customisation so I can still use any formatting I liked in my previous one. I like all of the different pages and love the aesthetic!

Such a great resource, either for someone who wants to digitally journal or as ideas for those who want to journal physically.

So many options both in the main PDF and all the additional downloads.

Looking forward to giving this a go!

This is SO cool! I've been doing reading journals by hand each year but now this one will be so helpful to keep track of all my NetGalley reads this year. Thank you!
