Thank you to Netgalley for this lovely digital journal! Such a thoughtful gift for us reviewers and bloggers to keep up with all our favorite Netgalley reads!

I received this complimentary digital journal from Netgalley to use and review, and was not required to write a positive review. The thoughts above are my own.

Thanks to Netgalley for sending me a digital copy of the NetGalley Reading Journal by We Are Bookish. This is a useful, fun way to track the books I'm reading and the dates I've read them, so I can easily revisit my favorites. Recommended for every reader.

Great option for those who want to keep a book/reading journal. Even though it's not something that I would use, I see the benefits and fun ways you can personalize the record of the books you're reading or have read. Fun and creative idea.

Thank you for the opportunity to use a reading journal for free! I like the different sections, which are a change from what other reading journals can offer.

This was a great idea. Thanks so much for getting it out in the wild. I'm going to try and get it on my ipad to digitally keep track of all my reads for the year. Hopefully organization will be a bit better for me!

This looks like a clever way to keep track of wished for books as well as those read with their reviews. However, I have been keeping track with with a word file of the books listed on netgalley with the publication date and when I got the book and when I read the book. I have the list of those I've read on goodreads as well as on my shelf. It appears that I need to purchase a notebook app in order to be able to write anything in the Reading Journal. Thus, I have decided to keep with the apps that I already own and have used successfully since I joined Netgalley in May of 2019.

great journal for keeping track of ARCs and ratings! makes it so much easier to know what ARCs are due when and which ones still need to be read and/or rated!

I enjoyed looking through the journal. And even though I do not have any plans to actually use it since it doesn't fit in with my current system of keeping track of books and reviews, I can see that changing in the future. It was also fun to look through it for inspiration on what I need to include when I take notes on a book, or when I create my wrap-ups. I particularly like the activities in the end!

What a lovely idea! I'd love a physical version of this, too, so you can actually put the stickers in and you have a book full of books to look back to!

I absolutely love this reading journal! It is well organized and also cute. I am definitely using it!

This reading journal has all of the things that I’ve been looking for in a journal. I love the prompts and challenges. I also really appreciate the tip sheet that tells you how to add more review pages and really customize the journal to fit your own preferences. I do wish that there was a reading log so you could record your number of pages read each day/ if you read that day, but I have an app that I track my reading in so it wasn’t something I missed too much.

What a good journal! I have been using it nonstop. I hope that they continue to make these every single year! I feel like to improve even the slightest bit is you could combine it and make it a yearly planner as well.

Great idea and gift from Netgalley - thank you! I now need to remind myself to use it each time I finish a book

I like the thought of this, I wish I had started using it right at January, I am not able to go back and check my Netgalley ratio from the beginning of the month, so because of this some portions will be left blank, and thats the kind of thing that will drive me nuts.

Im just starting to fiddle around with it, not too sure how much I will use it thought.

This is great for people who want to track all their reads and have something to look back at the end of the year. It works well on my iPad and with my apple pencil. I most likely won't complete every section but I do love the digital bookshelf!

Probably won't use, but it is a nice idea for those who want to log their yearly reads this way. I liked the layout and if I was inclined to keep a reading diary on my PC this would be my choice

I really like this. It is very well organized and easy to use with my Apple Pencil. I have been looking for something like this for a long time and bought several that I tried to make work. This has everything I need.

Nice idea, but is just so much work to complete. And that is all time that could be spent reading more books! If this was interactive, pulled my information from Goodreads and then reminded me to complete other monthly objectives then I would really enjoy it. As it is I will pass.

Thanks for the NetGalley Reading Journal by We Are Bookish gift. I'm reviewing this so that it doesn't appear as if I'm leaving anything registered on my profile without a review.

This has been a blast to use! So thankful it was available and easy for me to fill out. I’ve never been a book journal person but this has changed my mind.
