It has all the bells and whistles, and being specifically tied to Netgalley makes it all the more useful for those who like to keep track of their reading and reviewing. Ultimately, I'd prefer a spreadsheet version as that's what I like to use, but this reading journal can be super fulfilling for those who want to make use of it. I'd say for those who prefer visuals, especially!

This is an amazingly done digital planner for Book Advocates. I love how organized it is, and that it has everything I could possibly need to stay organized. Not to mention, it has links! That is so awesome, and makes it so easy to use. I can't wait to get started using this new tool. Thank you for this awesome tool.

This proves to be easy to use and a nice thing to offer. I wish more companies would do this as well! Thanks!

Thank you to NetGalley and We Are Bookish for the Reading Journal. I tried to use it with Adobe Acrobat, but find it difficult to maneuver the blocks. Everything has to be uploaded to my computer first (images), and then brought in. Just a little more time-consuming than I would like it to be. It has all the right stuff, but just not user friendly for me. I like all the bells and whistles (stickers and such), compared to last year. The colors are nice as well. I am sure there are others who are more tech savvy than I am that will be able to get better use of this resource. A print copy would work well.

I’ve loved using the NetGalley Reading Journal to keep my reading life organized. The 2025 edition looks even better with its stunning color palette and practical features, like clickable links for digital planning. It’s both customizable and easy to adapt to my style.

An essential tool for staying on track and making my reading journey more visually appealing. I can’t wait to use it again in 2025!

I think this is such a clever idea to include on the website as an instant download. I primarily track my books using a database in notion, but this is much more approachable for readers that don't know where to start! The color choices and way everything is arranged is easy to follow, though I wish I didn't need to download a separate user guide to figure out how to use it. It was very thorough and answered a lot of questions, but I think this could've been thrown in at the end of the journal to keep things clear. But overall, I love the idea of this project and hope you release more (although I'm sure this could be reused easily!).

Really fun and useful tool. I like this more Colorful version too. Keep up the good work Net galley team. Appreciate all the hard work everyone does to make it easier for users to keep track of our reads.

Loving this!! I was originally just going to re-use the one from last year so but I’ll be using this one cause I’m loving the new color scheme! Can’t wait to start using it!! Also can’t wait to see what y'all come up with next year!

A really useful resource. Can't wait to use this and keep my reading and reviews on track. Thank you NetGalley!!

This is a super helpful resource! It’s one of the best reading journals I’ve seen in quite some time. There is a way to track just about everything, from your NetGalley feedback ratio to the number of ebooks and audiobooks you read. I find that when things are colorful and aesthetically pleasing to look at, I want to use them more. The fact that the reading journal looks so good makes me wanna track every day just so I have a reason to open it.

If you’re looking for something cute that’s actually also super helpful, this is a no-brainer!

I absolutely love that NetGalley makes these for us to use! I love digital journaling and use GoodNotes all the time. Thank you NetGalley!!

Looking forward to using these awesome reading journal pages! What a fun way to keep us on track! Thank you for sharing with us!

I loved using my Netgalley Reading Journal last year. Thank you for continuing to make this available!

This looks as though it will be really helpful for keeping track of books over the next year (I just need to be motivated enough to keep using it!).

The colour scheme works well, and I really like the habit tracker (I’ve used something similar for non-book / reading habits before and it really did encourage me to commit to the habits I’d chosen, I’ll definitely be using this page a lot).

A great idea, for book lovers everywhere, to keep track of their reading habits and progress.
Free, too!

I was thinking about creating a spreadsheet to track my reading and then I found this journal. It's so much more than a tracker, and so much more fun!

I love the colours and spaces provided for book covers.

The main sections are:

1. An intro to NetGalley
2. An About Me section
3. Goals for the year, which includes the books you most want to read this year (which is so cool)
4. Ample space to list shelved books, including sections divided by month

There is space provided to write reflections and to check in with yourself, which is very helpful for those of us who might get sidetracked by other life events.

I'm having lots of fun with this journal. It is a wonderfful gift from NG to all of us.

This is fabulous!! Thank you NetGalley!
Easy to use, great guides and app recs, the sticker bundles are awesome.

A cute little reading journal! This is something that is so nice for NetGalley to provide to users with no charge. Definitely something that I will be saving to come to and use if I get the inkling to!

The NetGalley Reading Journal is a terrific resource for book enthusiasts, offering a user-friendly layout to track essential details and reflect on various aspects of the books they read. With dedicated sections for personal thoughts, favorite quotes, and engaging prompts, this versatile journal caters to diverse reading preferences. Beyond its practical use, it becomes a treasured keepsake documenting your unique reading journey, making it a valuable (yet free!) tool for any book lover.

Very helpful. Thank you for this awesome resource. I especially love the stickers! Thanks NetGalley!
