I was so happy to receive this gift from NetGalley. I have been wanting to get into tracking my reads via a reading journal but was always too intimidated/didn't know where to start. I've tried pretty much every app there is but I only love Goodreads. The NetGalley Reading Journal will give me that creative aspect/detail that Goodreads is missing. I love the aesthetic of this reading journal and the well-thought-out layout. I imported mine to GoodNotes and am loving exploring the different features and preparing it for next year. It's the perfect place to track your books and reviews, monthly reading round up, and goals for the year. It even comes with stickers that make it that much more fun to use! 10/10 would recommend especially if you love bullet journaling.

This NetGalley Reading Journal by We Are Bookish is so thoughtful and useful. I definitely can see how well it will work for myself, and other members, in the coming year. I appreciate the hard work and thoughtful gesture.

This is very cute, I wish there was an option to purchase a hard copy which I think I would have enjoyed putting together more, I did however screen shot certain ones on my phone and plan to use them throughout the year, and I did print out the habit tracker, but being able to purchase it, and have useable tabs would have been lovely and to have it bound. I'm happy that I qualified for the NetGalley book tracker though!

So cute! Can't wait to try it out. While being a part of this community and receiving eARCs is enough, this was a pleasant surprise.

The perfect basic reading journal for 2024. Such a great way to introduce more people to book journaling. The spreads are great and hyperlinked. I will definitely be using this this year.

I was very intrigued with this PDF format for a reading journal. I'm currently using a physical notebook to record my reviews and ratings. So when I saw what features the NG Reading Journal offered, I jumped at the chance to download it. To my dismay, I also needed to download Goodnotes to "write" my thoughts, etc. A little cumbersome for me on a tablet without an external keyboard. But I presume like everything else, there is a learning curve in order take full advantage of the digital journal.

I do like the tabs at the top and the month tabs on the side. Makes navigation a lot easier. The stickers weren't particularly useful for me and if I use my tablet pen, I can probably color in the stars or add my own designs.

Perhaps my thoughts on this digital journal will change after some use and following the Users Guide. Only time will tell. But the journal still rates up there with four stars.

Many thanks to We Are Bookish for having the journal available to use.

Cute but I'm not loving the PDF format. Either a hardcopy version or app would be better for functionality. PDFs are difficult to edit and manage.

Good, simple outline I will use for reviewing my netgalley arcs. I especially like the checkin pages.

I love it! The design is cute, but minimal and not distracting. Can't wait to fill it up with my 2024 books!
