I absolutely loved the layout and prompts in this journal - it's perfect for any reader to track all the books they've read. I love how easy it is to use and found it very useful in jotting down my thoughts and notes about each book. You can tell the book was designed by readers and book lovers - it's so useful!

A great reading journal with plenty of usable content. I always love the guides NetGalley put together and this one was just as brilliant. I look forward to using it in the new year.
Thank you!

I'm a bit behind on giving feedback for this, but I want to express my appreciation and enthusiasm. It's a wonderful way to track reading habits and create a record of books you read and what you like or didn't. When you read as much as I do, it's easy to forget titles and other things when you're trying to recall that great story you read earlier in the year. I like this for the same reason I like Goodreads. It keeps a record. Obviously, this has so much more, but you get the idea. Excellent reading journal and a motivating way to set and track goals.

Great idea for spreads. Love the design style of this. It would be really fun to print on it's own, but also to stick in your journal.
For a next iteration I would like to see some more experimental spreads, like graphs or charts. Maybe a graph to track your NetGalley ratio, or a chart to track how diversely you read.

This is a good little resource for keeping track of your reading. It's great that Netgalley have this available, and the fact it's digital is a bonus! Makes it easier to amend or add to.

This is a very nicely produced reading tool that has been easy to use and helpful in keeping track of books which I have needed to share with colleagues and borrowers.

The NetGalley Reading Journal is an absolute gem for any book lover. As an avid reader and reviewer, I found this journal to be incredibly useful and well-designed. The layout is intuitive, making it easy to track my reading progress, jot down thoughts, and organize my reviews.

One of the standout features is the customizable review pages. They allow me to tailor my notes to each book, ensuring I capture all the important details and my personal reflections. The inclusion of reading challenges and habit trackers adds an extra layer of engagement, motivating me to read more and stay on top of my goals.

The digital format is a huge plus, as it allows for easy updates and adjustments. I also appreciate the variety of stickers and templates available, which add a fun and creative touch to my journaling experience.

Overall, the NetGalley Reading Journal is a must-have tool for anyone serious about their reading and reviewing journey. It has significantly enhanced my ability to keep track of my reading habits and produce thoughtful, organized reviews.

Thanks for the freebie! I don’t use it but I’m sure it’s great for many others! I prefer paper for my book journals so this wasn’t right for me.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for giving me a copy of this reading journal in exchange for an honest review.

I LOVE tracking reading stats and this reading journal has a bunch of great templates to track a large range of reading stats. I love the variability and how organized it is. This is something I will genuinely use personally and would recommend to someone looking for a digital reading journal option!

This is fine. I have never used it... Thanks for the freebie though I guess. Has anyone actually used it? I find an excel spreadsheet works perfectly fine.

Have not written a full review for this elsewhere, as it is a personal tool. But would recommend to other users to make the most of the NetGalley experience.

The formatting of this was done well. Iike how it takes different elements i would want to journal and even some i had not thought of into one.

For a long time I have been wanting to have a journal to control and record my readings. This book is a good way to track your readings during the year.

This reading journal had good utility and I liked that it had space for the Netgalley ratio. I didn't enjoy the color scheme and I thought for a digital journal, it was lacking in graphics and visual interests. I have a few reading journals and this one was not interesting to me. I found the color palette unappealing and the content repetitive. I appreciate that Netgalley provided something like this but I didn't end up using it.

Really helpful and very easy to use, can't wait for the new year so i can start at the beginning and give the best of the year a go

A fun and incredibly useful resource for book reviewers. You can track your reading all throughout the year with the monthly tabs. I also thought the A-Z challenge, bingo, and coloring pages at the end were super cute. Really appreciate the NetGalley team for putting together this resource!

I like that there are not too much extra's to fill in besides the basic bookinformation and your review. I'm perfectly fine with adding that favorite quote since I annotate in my books and can write one or two up, but in some reading journals it feels like you have to write a whole book yourself. I don't care about filling in how the character looked or why and who I would recommend it too. I do that last in my reviews, and instead of the first I rather get started on my next book. So this is great!

I also like that it is very customizable. It might not be everyone's colour scheme, but if you do like the used colours it's definitely something to check out! I recommend it!

This journal was great. The layout was nearly perfect with plenty of ways to track reading goals. The style of the journal was pleasant and calming. I specifically enjoyed the month by month breakdowns. Such a handy journal to keep around.

I appreciate the effort that went into this journal, however it is effort that makes this not work for me. It is a lot of work to make and update this journal and I know I won't keep up with it.
