I always love a good book journal! works great on my ipad and i love the aesthetic! Simple to use, but still tasteful and enjoyable for the eyes!

Love this so much! Thank you so much for providing us book reviewers with a means to do this digitally. Appreciate you all at NetGalley!

This is fantastic! Thank you We Are Bookish and NetGalley for creating this! What a cool thing to do for your users!
I look forward to using this journal!

Cute and useful! Love that this was offered to all reviewers for free to use in 2024. Thanks NetGalley

I like how simple and customizable this journal is. I have been using it for a couple of weeks now and have found the addition of pictures and stickers sections useful since I don't have to go out of the journal to look for any pictures to add. The review pages were a bit confusing at first because of the beginning/end of year part of the questions to recap. I think it would be better to add a recap section for the whole year at the end of the journal (the already added sections are fun too) with total books read, favorite authors, stats on book types and genre, and other totals that might help the reader see how they did during the year. Also, a mini recap for the end of each month would be nice if it were it's own section at the end of each month section, it would make it easier for knowing if we met our reading goals or if we need to make adjustments to our goals/habits.
I like the habit tracker section because it is simple and has all the habits in one place. I'm not big on keeping habits but seeing them all in one place makes a difference in how I approach them.
I also appreciate the "best of the year" section since I recently became familiar with the brackets reading activity.
The bingo is also nice even though I haven't filled it up because of my own perception of what counts for each square or not.
A reading tracker page would be nice because each month you can review what you read but you can have a log for what you couldn't finish and will transfer to the following month. The tracker/log can be a simple table with "title/author/pages read/finished?" sections.
Overall the journal has been useful to me for having a way of knowing how much reading I'm doing and recording my thoughts on said reading, but it could still do better in helping visualize how much reading improvement I can do or recap each month of reading easily.

I am not much of a journal Person. This one is nice and is a great tool for those who like to use them. Thanks

This journal was so fun to explore. It has many features that were cool and perfect for bookworms. If you like digital journals this one might be for you!

I was looking to get into a digital reading journal and this was perfect!! Thank you so so much NetGalley.

The Netgalley reading journal is a must for every book nerd. It's beautifully constructed and works really well in combination with my tablet. I like how easy it is to use. Plus it's really beautifully designed. Thanks to the journal, I can always see and track the books I have read. It's just fun

What an amazing tool to have on hand to keep up with the books you have read! I appreciate having this tool because it keeps all my information in one place and helps it all stay organized.

This journal was great! I liked it and will use it. I liked the fun little add in’s for fun and the book bracket.

A brilliant little journal to keep track of the books you have reviewed and you can jot down your thoughts on your current book as you are reading it. Great for getting everything organised.

The perfect little reading journal. I love having this journal to add my books to and help me keep track digitally. It comes in handy when I am not home and finish a book so I can keep my thoughts at the ready to write down in physical journal later.

Great idea. A bit fussy to use and I’m not sure I will use it but overall, a good idea. What more can I say?

The NetGalley Reading Journal by NetGalley's blog team, We Are Bookish, is a fun, digital journal for readers. It has space to fill in your reading goals, do reading challenges and track your reading each month.
I loved setting this up, with help from the NetGalley Reading Journal User Guide, and filling in the pages. Definitely recommend this to any readers looking for a way to track their reading digitally.

Thanks for the gift! Now I need to actually use it! I really enjoy NetGalley and recently I've been wanting to keep track of my books physically not just on the computer, so this provides a perfect opportunity!

I'm still new to reading journals but this is a great way to keep track of the books you read. I like that you are able to customize it to fit your reading needs. There are also sticker packs you can download, who doesn't love stickers!!!

I had good intentions of using this journal, but it turns out that I ended up sticking with my handmade template. Something about my own work makes it easier.

I think this would be a great book in another format (in electronic version it's not editable to be worthwhile) but I love the ideas for tracking and stat keeping. If you're a stat tracker reader or a book challenge person, this would be a great purchase.

Absolutely LOVE this! What an awesome way to support readers with tracking their reading and their reviews/ratings of what they've read. Appreciate it. Thanks!
