This journal starts with a welcome that tells you how to use this journal. Also included is an about me page and a place to put your yearly goals. This book has habit tracker for every month and even has a space were you can separate your audio books from your regular books. Included are fun activities such as NetGalley Bingo. This tracker is easy to upload onto Good Notes. The NetGalley Reading Journal is full of color and the tabs quickly get you to the section you want to get to. I feel this a good way to keep track of your books the only downside is that it is not big enough for the amount of books I read as an avid reader, It is well organized and east to use. You can use your I-pen or any other pointer to write notes on your tablet. You are also about to type them up as well if you would like This is a good alternative to pen and paper tracker or if you do not have the familiarity with an excel spreadsheet.

I like the possibility to use this. It works great with Goodnotes and it is a good ways if you manage to journal regularly (unfortunately I don’t). I liked the style and it was easy to fill in. I liked the stickers too.

Brilliantly designed and thoughtfully laid out reading journal. Lovely touch for NetGalley readers, or any bookish person looking for a fun way to track their reading over the year.

This is a wonderful tool for organizing the reading of ARCs! My only negative is I wish I found it sooner!

If I had to fix one thing, it might be the color palette as I find yellow and oranges are too energetic for me, especially the hues on the cover. It may just need some tweaks to bring it to more modern feel.

The NetGalley Reading Journal is a great free online reading journal template that also includes a NetGalley section to track stats and goals. I really like the bright colors used for the journal and the format/layout of everything has made tracking books really easy. I really recommend using this template on Goodreads, which if you are unsure how to upload it on there, check out the NetGalley Reading Journal User Guide! Both in tandem have made reading journaling easy and stress free. I have OCD and tend to struggle with formats/organizations especially with physical copy journaling notebooks, so this was a great resource for me. Highly recommend checking it out!

This is a fantastic journal for those who like to keep track of their reading goals or just the books they read in general. It has sections to add book cover stickers and brief info about the books as well as check ins and full review pages for each month as well as activities challenges and more.

great for keeping organised and allowing me to note the books I have read. Unlike a paper version, this allows you to take it with you

I liked how this reading journal is layed out! It was super easy to use and I look forward to using it more in the future as well.

The journal works well and has several interesting ideas. Some parts aren’t necessary for me, for example the description of myself - as it is my journal and no one will see this. I prefer the last colour palette.

I prefer last years color pallet. But as always this is great and works really well in Goodreads. Would recomend if you like digital planners.

A total gem for book lovers who enjoy tracking their reading life with a personal touch! The NetGalley Reading Journal is a beautifully designed and easy-to-use PDF that goes way beyond the standard review page. With space to reflect on each book, set goals, check in monthly, and even build better reading habits, it feels like a little companion for the year. I especially loved the creative prompts and challenges—it adds an element of fun that makes keeping a reading journal feel less like a task and more like a treat. Whether you’re a mood reader, a planner, or just someone looking to be more intentional with your TBR, this is a great (and free!) tool to keep your reading journey both organised and joyful. I had downloaded another of their reading journals but then saw that it was available in this gorgeous palette. I love it!

This is a great reading journal for beginners! It’s simple to use, well-organized, and makes it easy to track books, thoughts, and reading progress. Perfect for anyone just starting their reading journey or looking for a low-pressure way to stay consistent.

Aaaah I love this colour scheme! This is really nicely designed and surprisingly functional. As in, there’s a lot more things that it can do and that work (technology wise) than I‘d expected.
