This is a great reading journal! I love how detailed and easy to use it is. It contains plenty of room to write down my thoughts on the books I read. I love how it has yearly goals and monthly check ins. This is the perfect journal for one who can't always remember if they recorded a review of a book with a place to check it off and allows me to reflect on what I have read through out the year. It could use a space for monthly goals, but overall I love the detail contained in this journal.

This is such a neat item that NetGalley offers to help readers keep track of their reading. I'm so excited to get started! The structure is nice and usable and the download was very easy. I also like the interactive features that make it easy to navigate and jump between locations.

I loved that NetGalley offered this as a service to the readers who are lucky enough to be selected for an arc.

It’s pretty informative and despite being a user for a couple of years. I can now make use of some of the tips I didn’t previously know.

NetGalley's Reading Journal is a useful tool for anyone who enjoys reading ARCs and wants to contribute to the publishing industry. It's well-designed, easy to use, and provides a valuable service to both readers and publishers. If you're an avid reader and a member of NetGalley, it's definitely worth checking out. I liked the idea of this but I have not really used it. I have other journals that I have created over the years and this did not add anything too different. I think for someone who is new and hasn't been at this type of thing for as long as I have would really like it.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! No spoilers. Beyond amazing I enjoyed this book so very much. The characters and storyline were fantastic. The ending I did not see coming Could not put down nor did I want to. Truly Amazing and appreciated the whole story. This is going to be a must read for many many readers. Maybe even a book club pick.

This journal is amazing! Especially since it is free! Unfortunately, I really never got a chance to use it. I had a baby, and have not had much time to keep track of my reading ever since. Hopefully very soon I will actually get to use this journal!

This is a helpful book for ARC readers. I like the tips that were mentioned, and I liked how there was a space for journaling about books.

Very helpful journal! The Net Galley Reading Journal includes far many more options and features than I use. But it's great to have the options. The user guide is also a very useful tool.

The NetGalley Reading Journal has potential to help me organise my reading activities. I appreciate the journal's user-friendly layout and the various sections for tracking different reading goals. Being able to personalise the journal is a definite plus and the option to print specific pages for use in a physical journal is a thoughtful touch. I especially liked the sticky tabs for easy navigation between sections. Although I haven't fully integrated the journal into my reading routine yet, I can see its potential for enhancing my reading experience. The journal offers a comprehensive and engaging way to track reading progress, set goals, and reflect on books.

I haven't started using the reading journal yet, but I've spent some time looking through and considering how I might use it throughout the year to track my reading. I don't tend to do anything in-depth - usually just tracking digitally through Goodreads, but I do like how the journal is set up and some of the possibilities it offers. It may be something that I explore using in the future.

The reading journal is an interesting concept, but since I use Goodreads to track everything from reading to the books on my shelves, it was redundant. I know it is something others would enjoy though.

This is a beautiful way to track your reading digitally. I usually use a bullet journal, but I haven't had time to work in it at all this year so I've been using this recently and it's been wonderful. I love all of the different pages and challenges to track!
