I think the Reading Journal is really cool and I really wanted to use it. I tried to use it on Goodnotes but I was never able to make it work. The tabs are all there but were not interactive. Tapping on them did not make the new section appear even though I tried all kinds of things to make it work. I gave up on it in the end as I just don’t have enough time in my day to play around with it. I record my books on Goodreads instead.

I liked the idea of the journal. However, I found it complicated and time-consuming to maintain. It might have been more helpful if it was a hard copy of the journal. I like to read for pleasure digitally but if it's a self-help or something I would journal or highlight, I want a hard copy. I appreciate the effort.

I LOVE that you offer this as a resource! I had seen people using digital journals to track their books, but never really thought much of it. I heard about the journal via one of your emails,.. and I am now obsessively hooked on using a digital reading journal! So thanks for the new hyperfocus, I suppose? 😂

The instructions are solid. I just wish there were more stickers and add-ins included, but maybe I just wasn't looking closely enough. I will likely use this one for my NetGalley ARCs, and then use a paid-for file for other planning.

this is such a lovely and fun way to keep track of books! i can't wait to dive in and make it look cute. it has everything needed in this cute little journal.

Love Love love!!! So comprehensive and all the support guides are amazing. I have tried to use other journals like this and not had success but will all the tutorials and support, I felt like this was so easy to use. THANK YOU!!!!!!

I used this it did help a little but not a lot as the months were short has they had more pages I would’ve kept using it this

This Reading Journal is simply brilliant. Over the years, there've been a lot of reading journals published, but there's been nothing on the market like this journal. It has clearly been very carefully and thoughtfully designed by folks who are avid readers and reviewers themselves. This is a key point, because only if you've tried using other journals and wound up frustrated because they lack one or more crucial features, would you try designing one yourself that covers all the bases reviewers like to note about the books they read. In addition to providing a plethora of features, the pages themselves are designed to be esthetically pleasing when digitally filled with all the details. While there is sufficient space on each page for a short review, there are additional pages--blank, lined, dot grid, and grid-- in the back to add to your journal should you need more space. In addition to the monthly review pages and reflection page, there is a whole section in the back that is a lot of fun for those of us who like to collect data on their reading, for those of us who like reading challenges, and of course, the end-of-and-be-all Book Bracket for those of us who participate in book awards. A brilliant effort by NetGalley's Bookish Team.

This was such a fun thing! I love when y'all do stuff like this. Thank you for sharing!! Admittedly, I'm reviewing this because I want to get my ratio up and this is on my shelf. Thanks for understanding! xx

This is reading journal is great! Now that I have an ipad, I'm going to download it into Goodnotes so I can update it digitally, starting in 2025. I'm more of an analog kind of girl and I love the layout of this journal!

This was cute! I'm a sucker for a reading journal. The prompts were fun and I'm happy to hand something that remembers better than I do!

Great journal. Love how.it.is set out and is so easy to use. Thankyou netgallery for access to this journal

Nice journal to use, it has a lot of options and spreads to help keep track of reads and thoughts about books.

Das Journal ist wirklich sehr schön aufgebaut, man hat viel Platz um sich zu entfalten und es ist wirklich übersichtlich gestaltet.

I would have liked a few color/format variations, but overall I liked the content and organized look of the review journal. I’m someone who always had planners and journals growing up, but never really got into bullet journaling because it took too much time to set up the pages. I thought this journal provided everything necessary to keep a detailed record of your reading history, and would definitely recommend it.

I liked the premis of this book but I did not find it as useful or as interesting as I expected. However, I will recommend it to my friends who like using this type of journal.

I'm not too sure what exactly I was expecting with NetGalleys Reading Journal, but this exceeded whatever it was anyway!
This is such a thorough journal with multiple pages for reviewing, and the option to duplicate and add extra pages! There's space at the back for notes and can add stickers to pages throughout to personalise it. The tabs at the top and sides of the journal make it super easy to navigate and find the exact page you're looking for.
Thank you so much for this, it's a very thought out, planned journal.

Great handy tool for keeping track of your reading and your reviews. I like that it is digital. I can print out more pages if needed or reuse the journal again next year.

Did not find it helpful. I prefer doing things like I always do.. I write my reviews in a notebook by hand and then type them in and copy and paste. I just couldn’t get the hang of this.. maybe I am just old and set in my ways.

This is a really fun resource to have. I love finding uses for good notes on my iPad so was excited to try. I like the sticker feature to personalize pages and reviews. Sometimes it’s hard to stay on top of reading but this is a great planning resource and place to reference to see your progress.

As far as the layout and design of this reading journal are concerned, tibia quite simple yet beautiful. It has everything one might from a book journal and I especially loved the linked pages and that you could switch around between different sections so easily.

The only thing I wish it had is perhaps a sticker sheet for the review section.

Highly recommend this!
