This guide is extremely helpful! I appreciated all of the info and what apps that you could upload the journal to. All the instructions are very clear. I will definitely be utilizing my digital reading journal more often now that I know about the apps!

This manual is chock-full of great direction to use the reading journal. I am going to look into utilizing it to use the monthly check in pages.

Book Title: NetGalley Journal User Guide
Author: We Are Bookish
Genre: Crafts and Hobbies ~ Readers User Guide
Pub Date was: December 18, 2023
My Rating: 4 Stars

I have been a fan of NetGalley since the Pandemic~ it saved me as the Libraries were closed. I was not digital reader. I loved the feel of a hardback book; I didn’t even like paperbacks had to be a nice Big Book! I had major collection fun bookmarkers. A Goodreads reader that I follow always mentioned thanking NetGalley so I sent her a message for more info.
Thus the beginning of writing comments/feedback; have to admit it is far more time consuming than I thought.
When I saw a review that this guide saved time and loved the tips! I thought GREAT!
I am giving 4 stars as I still need to do some research to figure things out.
BTW: I have used the Bookish blog posts which always gives tips.
Want to thank NetGalley and We Are Bookish for granting me this PDF User Guide!

Good to know there is a net galley journal for keeping track of books read. This is not only for those on net galley. Any books can be logged.

Clear and easily understandable advice / tips. Very nicely structured and no superfluous details. It really helps a beginner like myself get an idea of how things work and how to go about everything essential.

Helpful guide for editing Netgalley's reading journal. It would have been better if it suggested an app that could be used on both android and iOS.

Great! Easy to use and makes it fun to organize books I’ve read! I like all the categories. Monica from F.R.I.E.N.D.S would be proud of this 🤭

Although I decided against using the Reading Journal, I did find this guide helpful in figuring out how to use the Journal.

This is a really helpful guide to help you get started on your book journal! I found it really useful. Short and sweet and not intimidating at all. Thanks Wearebookish!

A must-read for those using the Journal to track their NetGalley reading & reviewing. I will continue to use my own method -- a combination of Goodreads and "Your Shelf" which has worked well for me. But those who either had no methodology or were using spreadsheets will find this to be helpful and less time-consuming.

I chose a four-staring rating since I did not see it as a "better" way to track from my current tracking method.

I am NOT posting this on my reader blog or on Goodreads since all NetGalley members rec'd an email re this journal and the use is limited to NetGalley members only.

The user guide is great, and straightforward.

I found it a little intimidating to get started on the actual journal, which I was hoping was just PDF format but I'll give it a go!

I didn't initially realize this would require downloading additional apps, and another file, so that made getting started a little slow

The reading journal is so cute and easy to customize to how you'd want it. It does take a bit of a learning curve to try and use but thankfully with the suggested IOS app, it was easier to navigate, especially with the guide as well. I've already recommended it to friends who use NetGalley as well.

An extremely useful e-reading journal that makes tracking your reading so easy! The different formats, the monthly wrap ups, the bookworm quotes, the reading challenge suggestions all added to this so much. There is something truly so precious about netgalley a website filled with books that gives authors a chance to promote their books creating such a useful and accessible reading journal to add to the reading journey of its readers <3

I've never used a digital journal before, so this user guide was very helpful. The instructions for the app needed were clear, and the pages were arranged in a visually pleasing way. I wish there had been some information about how to use the actual journal pages, maybe with examples of the pages filled in or how we might share the pages on social media.
