This is fantastic; it really encourages me to be organized with my reviews! I love getting free treats, and this is probably one of the best reading trackers I've ever come across.

I appreciate that this Reading Journal was developed as a token of appreciation from We Are Bookish to NetGalley readers/reviewers, but I think I downloaded this with different expectations from what the journal delivered. I was really hoping to find a strong Book Review section through which I could reflect on the books I read after finishing each one. I loved the habit tracking section towards the end, and the yearly reflections piece sort of applied to what I had been wanting, but I think I had been looking for something to help me more deeply reflect on the books I was reading. Not a reason not to pick this up, but more a misalignment on my end (I should have read the description more thoroughly). Thanks Netgalley for the opportunity to take a look at this reading journal, though, and incorporate a lot of the wonderful pieces developed for NetGalley readers into my reading workflow. :)

Loving this new book journal design from We Are Bookish which allows me to keep track of my reading goals in style - plus there's space here to capture ideas for reading challenges, maps my reading habits and more. I especially like the 'monthly check in' feature which I have found has kept me more engaged with using my reading journal to date.

I already downloaded the 2024 journal so I downloaded this one because I wanted to see how they compare. If you want a fun new way to track your reading, this journal provides that. You can do it digitally or print out the pages and do it manually. There's an activity section, sections for monthly reviews, and a tracker shelf. Overall, very similar to the 2024 journal so I'd say you could pick one or the other.

It’s a really cute journal. I’m still getting used to using it. I love the multiple colors. Thanks for making it. I just wish using your journal didn’t lower my review score without writing this since it is not an actual book.

This is such a cute and simple template to use to track your reading in fun ways. I was using a spreadsheet, but this will be so much easier to use. I love how customizable this is. The goals would be helpful to track and remind yourself of how much you want to read throughout the year. Thanks for creating this, NetGalley!

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.

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.
