Love the color change for 2025. IT still seems pretty similar to previous years.
The one thing I would love to see is a page for specific request details. Maybe something that's as simple as a columns of title, author, date requested, publishing date, and archiving date. I'd even like to see a spot that let's us track approval and denied requests. This may help readers see trends based off their activity on the site and arc interactions.
Beyond that one request, I love that these reading journals are provided to us. It's a lovely touch for the platform to offer and shows they know their audience.

This is an interesting and helpful way to keep track of all your book. As I read around 200 every year this will be amazing.

A great option for those looking for an aesthetically pleasing habit tracker. This would work very well for those with an iPad or tablet that can write directly on the pages. Otherwise, print is a good option.

This is great! I like the layout and design. Very useful and will definitely come in handy when keeping track of my books.

I love the color scheme and art in this journal. Whoever designed it is the best! It’s very easy to use and I love that adding pages is possible because I hate that physical reading journals never have enough. The challenges are neat. I’m not much of a challenge person but it’s been interesting to sort of passively add books I’ve read to the prompts if they happen to fit.
I use the GoodNotes app which, I won’t lie, definitely took some figuring out, but is now pretty smooth sailing. I’ve been using the journal only to track my ARC reads which makes it really easy to keep track of release dates and look back on what I’ve read, which publishers tend to approve my requests, etc.
All around excellent reading journal that fits all my needs and then some. Thank you for the effort you put into it and for providing it to us!

What a great and thorough book journal! This is extremely helpful to track my ARCS, but also journal about all my other reads. This had everything one could need. I love that this gives you plenty of space to write

I loved that it has what I was looking for in a book journal. I have downloaded and printed this journal to help track my reads!! I also like that I can print when I need to add pages to my existing journal. Next read ahead… thank you NetGalley for this useful Journal by We Are Bookish!!

A good, helpful reading journal for those wanting to keep track of their reads and opinions on Netgalley.

Omg omg This is perfect. Able to organize and then the stickers too lol.
Thank you thank you thank you NetGalley for this!!

The perfect companion journal for anyone new to Netgalley. It’s colorful and well organized, so you can easily learn key metrics and ways to track reading progress. Highly recommend for anyone who learns by writing things down—which I do!

This journal is a godsend for all reviewers and book lovers. Keep track of your reading, take part in challenges and customise your journal using stickers. Best thing of all? It's FREE! What's not to love?

I love that NetGalley is able to provide this as a tool when reviewing books. It is most helpful and a fun way to share your opinion to the world!

Now this is what I needed on my iPad! Thank you so so much! I needed something that I could use for my reviews even with my already journal I have, im hoping to expand to physical journals next year so maybe there might be one you guys will make? And if so I would be keen to try out a physical journal that is for sure! Nothing wrong with the old school writing and use colours which is something I love doing!

This is a great reading journal, thank you! The user guide has also made this very easy to use, I would recommend this!

I didn't know I would also need a Digital Reading Journal until I found this one! This is so useful and colorful!

A very useful online journal - love the features including the tab for shelves and for months of the year. Very helpful and look forward to tracking reading in this :)

Absolutely love this reading journal! I’ve been looking for a digital journal for a while and this one has everything I wanted.

This is a great way to keep track of one's reading, really love the idea behind. The format, though generic, is still a needed addition. Kudos to NetGalley for coming up with such a thing!

As someone who struggles with self-motivated organization, this is a helpful tool to stay organized and keep track of books that I've read, reviews, and other book related fun!

If you’re anything like me, constantly juggling a TBR that’s more “mountain” than “pile” and struggling to remember what you thought about that one book you swear you loved last month, this digital reading journal might just be your new best friend.
I loved that the layout is clean and intuitive, with pages dedicated not only to reviews but also reading challenges, monthly check-ins, and even a habit tracker.
If you’re looking to get a better handle on your reading stats or just want to add a bit more fun and structure to your bookish chaos, I definitely recommend giving this journal a go. It’s a great way to keep your thoughts organised and your reading mojo strong.
Thank you Netgalley and We Are Bookish for this cute and handy resource.
