The NetGalley Reading Journal is beautifully laid out and super intuitive, with clickable tabs that make flipping through pages easy and honestly kind of fun. This isn’t just a tracker... it’s a reading experience upgrade.
I love the mix of structure and creativity. There are review templates, monthly check ins, TBR lists, A to Z challenges, bingo boards, and even mood and habit trackers. It really lets me keep everything organized. I like the reading prompts and how customizable the whole thing is.
If you’re the kind of reader who wants to stay organized but also make it pretty and personal, this journal nails it. It’s smart, easy to use, and completely made for readers like us.

Great journal, took me a little to get into the swing of things as haven't used one before but definitely keen to keep using one now.

I love this reading journal!!! I have been searching for one for a while so thanks to Netgalley for making this. It will also allow me to keep track of my reviews on Netgalley. I really love the simple but nice design of this journal.
Thank you we are bookish and Netgalley!

It took me until June 2025 to find the quiet time to actually open the download of this absolute ripper. What a joy! 🤩. Now to figure out how to use the stickers. What a fabulous gift from ‘We Are Bookish’.

Just downloaded it and love how it looks. Will try to use it for the rest of the year to see how it goes. So many thoughtful pages and content.

What a cute reading journal! I can't wait to use it. It's going to be great for tracking the books that I read.

This is very cool, and I think it's a great template. I've tried in the past to make my own bullet journal, but this is a game changer.

I like the overall navigation of this journal, and find that it works seamlessly with my note-taking app on my iPad! My only negative mark would be that I prefer for all of my reading to be in one journal (to include books from Netgalley or otherwise), and this journal heavily only focuses on what is read through Netgalley. A nice option to have, though, if I want to keep those reads separate!

I was looking for a perfect reading journal and found it here!! It has all the details I was looking for! It is versatile and has tons of features. I love the games and challenge pages which added to the fun. I also found the bookshelf genre tracker a bonus. In all, if you are looking for a book journal or reading tracker, this one is for you.

I love this. As an avid journaler / bullet journaler this was right up my alley. Perfect for tracking the books I’ve read.

What a great companion to reading!

I have a mildly realistic goal of 50 books a year, some years there more and some there is less and with this journal I can reflect and figure out if I’m going to want to read another book.

I love this journal. It has everything I need and more! It's fun but also comprehensive. Oh and everything is linked!

It features:
- monthly check-in page
- book review pages
- activities section
- habit tracker
- a to z title challenge
-prompt bingo
- games

...and so much more. Thank you NetGalley!

Thank you so much for this very helpful Reading Journal! This will help me to keep track of everything.

I just downloaded this journal, and am looking forward to using it, and the updated one, to help me make my reviews even better!

Very Helpful! This will be very useful in helping me prepare my reviews and keep track of everything.

This is a great freebie from We Are Bookish. It’s a useful tool for organizing books and reviews for NetGalley.

A really good journal to help you track with your net galley arcs! Very nice and organised. I also like how you just download it. I also use this for other books not just for netgalley.

An awesome reading journal to use in tandem with my Net Galley reads! I love that they give this to you for free to download as a NetGalley user. Highly reccomend!

While I somehow ended up downloading them in the wrong order, I am a big fan of the NetGalley reading journals as a way to keep track not only of what you’ve actually read, but also what you had determined you wanted to read at the beginning of the year.

As someone with ADHD, I often make a mental note that I want to or should do something, only to be diverted down a rabbit hole into something else, and then forget what it was I was originally supposed to be doing. And that doesn’t feel great. For things like work and family stuff, I have other tools in place to keep me on track, but this is really handy for doing the same for my reading habits: I have also adapted this to manage my craft projects, so useful has it been for books.

There are also some nice touches in the design, with a different phrase at the beginning of each month, helping mark the transition to the next. They may be a little cheesy, but I’m Gen X and a little cheese sprinkled through something useful is fine by me.

I shall look forward to the next one dropping in December.

I love that this comes in two different colour palettes. Really nice layouts for monthy spreads, so you can do wraps and track your stats.
Also love the bookshelves with genres which was new and interesting.
The bingo card and the alphabet challenges are super fun, I love these aspects of journaling so fun!
