I love this reading journal! I have used a variety of reading journals and this one is perfect for tracking NetGalley reads! I use it just for my NetGalley arcs and it helps keep me super organized! Thanks so much!

I'm loving this journal. I dedicate notebooks to notes for my reviews, but these journal pages are much more fun and will allow me to include even more information in my reviews. It was very easy to download and print, as well. I love it and look forward to using it even more.

Love this update. The best parts are the hyperlinks, check in pages and reflections. I just wish there was also a monthly reflections as well as the check in. Each book review is bare enough for all my notes. Maybe a cuter font would be nice though 😅

This book journal is so good I really like it. I will definetly use it (not all of it thought). Also so pretty!

Thank you netgalley for this reading journal

This reading journal is a basic journal to keep track of the books you read, and if yiu like to have an order then this works well and also it is good to use if u dont do the hardback note pads

Very useful, detailed pages and also not to much to keep up with but enough to keep it fun and motivating

This is such a great journal! I don't think I will use it in it's entirety, but I want to incorporate bits of it into my current reading journal. Hopefully, this will make me more mindful of the NetGalley books that I want to read!

I always look forward to these Reading Journals and this ones is just as wonderful as they have been in the years past.
Can't wait to dive in!

Unfortunately, I love last year’s version more - all this colour kinda ruins the vibe -, but this journal has become a very important part of my reading habits, and I’m so glad you guys made another one.
Thanks so much, WE ARE BOOKISH!

Perfect reading journal!! This color palette is much better than the previous journal release. The palette is bright and colorful instead of dark and basic colors.

The free apps for using this journal are not free. There is a subscription.
It is very difficult to import stickers etc.
I found it not very user friendly.

A great and inspiring journal! I already printed a few favorite and alphabet pages, and I wonder if there would be a physical copy of it or not!

As someone who exclusively uses a desktop PC, I've been happy with my extensive spreadsheets to track my reading each year. But a proper reading journal is very appealing, particularly because I want to make more of an effort to review everything I read, or at least jot down at least some thoughts on each book.

Y'all the digital journal landscape is BLEAK. I knew it was going to be rough using a desktop instead of a tablet, but the "free" apps aren't free, and worse, everything is chock full of inescapable AI integration. Obviously that part isn't We Are Bookish's fault, but I was still really taken aback at hard it is to get started in this hobby. The built-in PDF editor on Firefox is the only thing that was remotely usable, but there's still a big lack of functionality that I assume the ipad+stylus folks are getting. (trying to resize covers consistently and center them above the ratings was a nightmare, I wish there was a faint outline or something to help line everything up properly)

Overall, I love the idea of this, and it's a cute journal, but oh man I don't recommend for people without tablets.

It's a lovely gift for readers and practical for those who like digital planning. Thanks, NetGalley.

Good journal, bad updates

Look, this was a great starter journal last year, but changing the color palette doesn't do ANYTHING for it. Making the new pages a zip file rather than putting them in the journal itself...why though??

The art does not match the new palette. The art is very sad beige. (According to my kid, "The March art isn't even Marchy!") I covered it all up with stickers because it was so bland.

For people who focus most of their reading on NetGalley, it's fine (if still kinda fug). For me? I'm moving on.

Whoa I actually love and will probably use this. If nothing else, the more general reading tracker w a space for the cover, dates, and ratings.
Thank you bunches to NetGalley and We Are Bookish for putting this together for us! <3

Such a great end of year treat. Thanks #netgalley for the reading journal you gift to all of us. Very grateful and we love it.

I loved using the NetGalley Reading Journal last year so I'm very excited to see the new version for 2025! Thank you for this!

I have kept a reading journal for several years, and I've dabbled in digital journals for the last couple. This reading journal was great for cataloguing read books visually. I prefer more lists/checklist styles, but I was easily able to insert pages that match my preferred format to the based journal. I also enjoyed the sticker pack that was included. I will definitely get a lot of use out of them! I had hoped this may be slightly different than last year's reading journal, and while I love the updated color scheme, it was the same otherwise. Looking forward to using it and tracking my NetGalley books.

Great resource, I love it! Highly recommended. This will definitely improve reviews and engagement.
