What a great resource for keeping track of NetGalley reads! This interactive digital journal has monthly tabs to document goals, percentages, books read, favorites, etc. This will be fun to keep referring to throughout the year. Thank you, NetGalley for this free e-book.

What a great resource for reviewers! My husband and I both use this often to keep track of reviews and where they came from.

An excellent way to keep track of ARC's. I love it! It is very user friendly, easy to use, and intuitive. This is a great asset for book reviewers and book bloggers.

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!!

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.

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.

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!
