I have enjoyed using the NetGalley Reading Journal. As someone who is new to keeping a reading journal, the formatting was very helpful in getting started. Love the digital format and the flexibility and customization options in provides.

This journal is a great way to keep track of my reading! Love the format and organization of it. Highly recommend to those wanting to document their reading.

I did not find this helpful at all. As a matter of fact, a simple doc on my computer seemed as capable.

Super cute reading journal. Great organizational tool to track books. Each month you can track the books you read and record your ratings. Great for folks who are trying to up their reading. Dopamine hits every time you add a new book!

Easy to access, easy to fill in. Thank you Netgalley for this super book

Really fun and useful! It wasn't as easy to use and understand in the beginning, but once I understood how to actually work with it and decorate it, it was really fun and useful!

I have never used a book journal before, and I was looking for something that would help me write down my thoughts as a I go along for my book reviews. I was super excited to find out that there was a digital book journal and that it was on NetGalley. I was a little disappointed that I had to download another app to use use this journal, but having the user guide that you can download separately was helpful.

love a good reading/book journal! thank you for this one, it’s hard to find a good one. i personally use a physical journal and i always think i wanna switch to digital and never actually do, so thank you for the opportunity to try this one out. cute and very useful!🤍

This is a great example of a reading journal. It has been really well set out, with plenty of room for recording reads.

This looks like it would be a really cool tool for someone who could use it, especially as a hard copy. Unfortunately I opened it and got immediately overwhelmed. I won’t be using us but I think it’s delightful that it exists and it looks beautifully formatted

This is a fun way to keep track of your books. It has in depth ways for you to keep track of specific things for each of the books you read. You can keep ratings, reviews, etc. it also breaks it down but month.

This journal has all the things someone would need to track your books read/listened to and it’s not over complicated. Some journals have questions that aren’t something people want to write in a journal. Keep it simple is the best way to go.

I love the idea of this reading journal and am so glad it exists! It's really well done, but it's not right for my own style of tracking my reading.

A cute reading journal! I will definitely be using it to track my reads going forward and helping to stay on top of that NetGalley ratio :)

Thanks to Netgalley for a chance to honestly review this.
As we all try to find the best way to capture our reads each year, physically or digitally, this is a nice template to use or model after. With a simple but very useable setup, you can use this journal to keep track of your reads, reviews, and ratings easily. I personally liked this as a digital journal but that's not to say you can't print it out and use it that way. There is enough space to add any doodles, stickers, and other color to make it your own. I gave it a 3/5 solely because it is solid, but I don't see myself using it.

This was actually really fun to look through. I've been thinking about starting a reading journal and this has given me a lot of ideas.

I like the idea of a reading journal. I think I am more of a physical journaler but I'll give this a go on my iPad. If nothing else, it can be a placeholder for the info I want to put into a real notebook.

Thank you for the gift, NetGalley.

An amazing reading journal. Easy to use and does what it has to do! I love the different formats and pages and the sticker packages that you can download.

Absolutely love this little journal! So organized and cute. A lovely way to keep track of books and reviews.

Only downside is that I had the digital version and I would much rather have a physical copy so I can flip pages and write with colorful pens and have fun with it! But that's more of a personal preference than an actual critique of the journal itself.

While I keep a physical reading journal that I decorate and write in, I liked giving this one a try. The color schemes are beautiful and I like all the different pages that keep you engaged with your reading. Like the A - Z challenge to expand your bookshelf and the bingo page to get you to explore the NetGalley site more. The monthly review pages has all the essential parts to get the most out of your reviews and reading. It's something I absolutely would have paid for
