Absolutely adore this journal! I love filling it out and super easy to use/ access. I was sent this as a gift for Christmas? I believe. Thank you NetGalley! Hope you do more things like this in the future

Love this! Thank you for providing it. I feel like it is perfect for those of us who use NetGalley especially!

This reading journal is nice and visually appealing. I love that this is more than just a book log - they have bingo, a bookshelf spread, a yearly book bracket, the reading the alphabet challenge, and more. Plus, it's free! I look forward to using it,

This is a really cool and fun way to track review copies. The layout is clean and easy to read, and I especially like the yearly goals (looking at you NetGalley Feedback Ration) and the shelves. However, having this in just a PDF sort of hinders users in how to use it. Connecting it to a resource like Canva, where users easily can modify and personalize the journal (like I think NetGalley wants us to do) would be extremely helpful in actually using this.

This is a useful product for the average NetGalley reader if they are a digital journal user. I am not, but could see how I could still use some of the planning pages to help track my year on netgalley.

I think this will be interesting to use, once I can figure it out! I love being able to track my reads in different ways!

Thank you to NetGalley for creating this journal for all of us avid readers and reviewers. I had not tried digital journaling before, but really like the layout, tracking options and fun features provided in this journal!

As someone who's wanted to try a digital journal this was such a lovely option! Basically has everything necessary to keep track of the books you've read and keep up with your TBR.

A good beginner option if you're looking to start dabbling in a digital way to track your books. I was able to use this easily with my Goodnotes app and it has all the basics you need. It includes sections for Reviews, Top Ten reads, reading challenges, a few other simple layouts.

I quite liked this journal, It has lots of space to make your notes and lots of fun things to track!

I really like this reading journal! It has everything I could want in a journal and I love filling it out

Thanks for the reading journal! It has a lot of interesting ways to track reading goals for 2024 and I will definitely be using it.

I love this little reading journal. Thank you so much to Netgalley for providing it! I will definitely be using it for my reviews and planning for future reviews!

This is such an amazing and helpful pdf! I don't know how I have gone my whole life without it. Truly fascinating, I definitely recommend!!!!

Great idea and love that I'm able to try it out before spending money on a journal. Will start it in March but it seems to have everything I've been looking for

The NetGalley Reading Journal is a really lovely tool for any book advocate / book reviewer.
The journal is completely contained online, with active tabs for sections that are easy to find and use. It contains a table-of-contents, reading shelf, sticker page, activity pages, end of year wrap ups, notes, and an entire section that goes month-by-month.
My favorite parts of this journal are:
1. Reading Shelf: the layout makes it very easy for first time or seasoned book reviewers.
2. Activity Pages: I love the habit tracker - the layout is fresh and cute! I'll definitely be using this, a-z challenge, Bingo card and categories challenge.
3. Wrap Up: Favorite book bracket (oooh this is going to be an excruciatingly enjoyable challenge!), favorites of the year (great way to feature multiple books and share bits about them), reading reflections (this is my jam!).
4. Month-by-Month tracker: I love the layout and the ability to check-in and track what I have read. This will help make me much more organized and retain more information as I start to increase the amount of books that I am reading.
After this reivew I will be starting up some work using these layouts and all of this wonderful information. I can't wait! Thank you!

Nice thought and design, did not find useful for myself. However, may be very useful if you do not written or possibly e-book monitoring of current/past reads!

Overall, I did really like the book journal. I already keep a good notes reading journal, but it is a nice place to keep track of all of my arc reads.
I did find it easy to use because I am already familiar with digital journals. I do think adding the users guide to this download instead of separate would be very handy for people who are unfamiliar with using digital journals.
I would personally prefer a brighter color option as well as the one that is offered just because I would be drawn to that more.
Overall, I will be using this journal to track my ARC reads and look forward to more journal options in the future.

This is cute and I enjoyed the reading journal, which will make it much easier to track the books I read and my thoughts as I read them. Thanks for the gift, NetGalley!

I wish I had an iPad (or other tablet) to use this reading journal - it's well-organized, creative, and looks to be so much fun! I would recommend it for those who have the capabilities to use it.
